From the author of Dictatorship of the Dress comes a new novel about a woman whoβs vowed to never walk down the aisleβand the two men whoβll do anything to get her to say βI doββ¦
βAlways a bridesmaid, never a brideβ has suited Danica James just fineβ¦until the mysterious man who crashed her sisterβs wedding steals her heart, leaves a slice of groomβs cake under her pillow, and then disappears.
Hoping to forget her unforgettable fling, Dani takes a job as a backstage masseuse for a rock music festival, not expecting the tourβs headlining bad boy to make an offer she canβt refuse. Nash Drama needs a fiancΓ©eβand fastβ¦
Mick Spencer is the best wedding cake designer in New Hope and the townβs most eligible bachelor. But despite the bevy of bridesmaids heβs sampled, Mick canβt get the evening he spent with Dani out of his mind.
So when she shows up for a cake tasting at the Night Kitchenβwith his former best friendβs ring on her fingerβMick vows to charm the woman of his dreams into choosing a sweet and sinful ever after, with himβ¦
Courtship of the Cake was not what I expected. It was a good, well written book, but the emotions were heavier than a book about cake should be.
We meet Dani, a travelling massage therapist; Nash, a famous musician; and Mick, a bakery owner. Β Dani and Mick met in New Orleans when he crashed her sisterβs wedding and formed an instant connection that circumstances didnβt allow to flourish. A year later, she is working the same music festival as Nash when she ends up working for him to help with a medical condition. Being Nashβs personal therapist leads to her helping him with other aspects of his life and back to Mick, who was one of Nashβs childhood friends.
Dani was an easy character to like. She was pretty easy going, caring, and seemed to be everyoneβs port in the storm. Nash and Mick were much harder to like at first; they were both more complex and dealing with a lifetime of issues. To be honest, I never quiet understood why Dani agreed to help Nash in the first place.
Nash brings Dani to his home town where he wants to get to know his son. Once they arrive, we see several different relationships develop and grow. The stories are interesting and intriguing to watch, but there is also an unfinished feeling and a sense that no one is really being honest. By then end of the book, things made more sense, but I still wasnβt really comfortable with how everything was handled.
Courtship of the Cake is the second book in the Much βI Doβ About Nothing series. I have not read the first book in the series and I donβt know if that would have helped or not, but this book and I didnβt really click.
