Synopsis

Jayci Lee delivers “a perfect balance of impeccable wit, laugh out loud hilarity, and off the charts chemistry. A Sweet Mess is a sinfully decadent romantic comedy.”—New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting

Aubrey Choi has been content running her highly successful bakery Comfort Zone and with its first expansion taking up all of her time, dating has been the least of her priorities. Then a one-night-stand with gorgeous Korean hunk Landon Kim makes her want things she didn’t think she had time for. Too bad it turns out he’s a celebrity food critic whose scathing review of Comfort Zone goes viral and nearly destroys Aubrey’s business—and her fond memory of their night together.

Landon tries to clean up the mess he made by offering Aubrey a spot on the new celebrity cooking show he’s producing. She agrees to use this as a way to save her bakery and her reputation—no thanks to him—but vows to guard her heart. Now Aubrey and Landon find themselves sharing a villa in California wine country, which is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. For the next three weeks, baker and critic will tempt each other as they struggle to resist admitting that they have all the necessary ingredients for love.

“A rich, vibrant romance that’s a feast for all the senses.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin

This book had such a promising start. He's a food critic and accidentally gets a cake meant for a 7-year-old's birthday party at our heroine's bakery. He writes a nasty review and really hurts the heroine's business. Little did he know, the hero actually had a one-night-stand with the bakery owner w......more

I think it's a good thing to go into books with low expectations, because then you might end up really liking it. Let me tell you a story about my reading experience with A Sweet Mess. Months and months ago, I saw it on Netgalley as READ NOW. Then life got in a way and blablabla, and I picked it up a......more

2.5 stars Is it just me or has there been an abundance of rom-coms/romances published this year with a love interest who is somehow tied to a restaurant/pastry shop that is strapped for cash and/or on the brink of going under??? Bonus points if said restaurant/pastry shop is family-owned. Off the top......more

Landon was overall a great character but went about saying and doing things all wrong alot in this book. I wish it had more with both of their families and that it......more
