It’s an average day at Sugar Blitz Cupcakery until normally reserved August Hodges, football player and co-owner, is filmed delivering an impromptu verbal smackdown to some disrespectful customers. The footage of his speech, praising women as the backbone of the baking industry, goes viral, and it couldn’t happen at a better time. Sugar Blitz is opening a new location, and the other co-owners want to capitalize on the publicity, even though the taciturn August prefers being behind the scenes. Social media manager Sloane Dell agrees to pull August out of his comfort zone and make him the face of Sugar Blitz. She typically avoids being around the man, who broke her heart a decade ago, but the publicity campaign will give her career a much-needed boost. The chemistry they had when they were young is still there, though, and it gets hotter every moment they spend in each other’s company.
VERDICT This fast-paced second-chance romance from Wesley (Fake It Till You Bake It) is sweet and hot, with a sexy cinnamon-roll hero and a determined, strong-willed heroine.
