Synopsis :
Nothing brings stressed people together like desserts.
Revenge is a dish best served scorching hot. That’s why professionally stressed and dessert loving Heaven Wilson creates a fake profile on the app her cheating boyfriend is using to find hookups.
But when she unexpectedly matches with Shane H, a man who seems as sweet as the baked treats he tempts her with, revenge becomes the least of her problems.
A more pressing issue? Not falling for the man she’s catfishing until she can ditch her unfaithful boyfriend. More pressing still? Shane turns out to be the professionally stressed, intimidating new boss she’s sent to work with.
And he has no idea she's the girl whose messages leave him craving more every night.
With a boyfriend who could doom her to enormous financial debt, a hot and cold, irresistible boss complicating her work life, and the intricate web of lies she’s designed for herself, this is the perfect recipe for disaster.
When it turns out Heaven isn’t the only one keeping secrets, will the cookie finally crumble?
Summary : !!SPOILER!!
When Heaven discovered that her long-term boyfriend was cheating on her, she decided to create an account in the app he was using to catch him. She wasn't expecting to meet Shawn in the app, the handsome sweet pastry baker. She was even less expecting that he'd be his new boss, not knowing who she was. She kept working with Mr. Asshole, talking with Shawn, and falling in love with both of them. But when Shawn discovered that she had a boyfriend, he left betrayed, but Heaven insisted to explain herself until they had their first non-date. But after that, Heaven found her boyfriend with another woman in her house. That almost destroyed her, but Shawn stood by her side and loved her the way she needed to be loved. Her life was perfect, but she was still keeping a secret, and when Shawn discovered she was the girl he was talking with on the app and she lied to him again, it was over. They both suffered until they met in their special place, and love was there.
Review :
I literally devoured this book like the best pastry I had in my whole life. It was sweet and acidic, sometimes bitter but definitely delicious.
I think that the concept of a romance starting online was what caught my interest first, but the characters are the ones that cemented my excitement for the story. Their pure interactions, as well as the beauty of their love, moved me deeply. There were some hiks like the cliché of a perfect man in love since years ago! And the incoherence of a maniac person dirtying her house on purpose! But some perfect scenes almost caught up with everything. Heavenly Sweet!
