About this listen

A closeted small-town florist and a too-busy-for-a-relationship bakery owner mix up the perfect recipe for love in this delicious lesbian romance novel.

Small-town florist Ashley Gaines loves her little flower shop and putting together the perfect bouquets for weddings and other happy occasions. Her own love life, however, is far from blossoming. Ash has decided that staying in the closet is safer than risking her heart again. 

Local bakery owner Sasha Peterson hasn't had much luck mixing it up with romance either. Besides, she's too busy whipping up delicious treats to have time for a relationship. But when their town's first lesbian wedding forces them to work together, Ashley and Sasha discover they have more in common than they imagined. 

During food fights, cake tastings, and slow waltzes, they begin to see each other in a new light. Soon Ashley has to admit to herself that Sasha is tempting more than just her sweet tooth. 

Contains mature themes.

i particularly loved the way Jae created such an empathetic character in Ash - so different from her in Perfect Rhythm, allowing us to understand and appreciate how difficult her journey was to navigate. No judgement only empathy. Jae writes characters so wonderfully - flawed, human, and yet ...

poignancy

Nice story and good characters, with some interesting topics. Really tangible chemistry.
The narration was a little AI sounding in parts which was weird and Sacha’s voice didn’t quite fit for me, being the taller bigger women of the 2. Overall a great listen though.

Relatable and lovely

As always, I loved the story. Thank you Jae for writing another brilliant book.

Angela Dawe is my favourite narrator so I really hate to say it but I just couldn’t get used to Sacha’s voice, I couldn’t reconcile the tone of her voice with how her character is described. I have to give it to Ms Dawe she maintained the voice that she used for Sacha when she was a supporting character in the first Fairoaks book, which doesn’t always happen when a supporting character becomes a main character in a later book in the series.
