Notting Hill meets The Prince & Me in Icing on the Cake, the second standalone laugh-out-loud romance in Ann Marie Walker’s Wild Wedding series
Cassandra Miller doesn’t have time for men. She’s far too busy trying to open a cupcake shop with her silent partner and best friend, not to mention catering her brother’s wedding. And let’s face it, it’s not like Prince Charming is going to stroll into the bakery and sweep her off her feet.
Henry has been a prince his entire life but for one wild wedding he wants to be nothing more than an “Average Joe”, or in this instance, “Average Hank”. However, when a case of mistaken identity and a batch of burned cupcakes ends in a night of passion, Cassie and Hank must decide if theirs is a recipe for disaster or the makings of true romance.
MY REVIEW:
I FLOVED ICING ON THE CAKE BY ANN MARIE WALKER! This was a super fun, smexy, sweet as cupcakes romance with excellent characters, a perfect storyline, and a plot that was ON POINT!
I love...LOVE....LOVE a sexy royal hero..but "Hank" was so incredibly charming. He might of started out trying to hide the fact he was a Prince, and their was some deceiving on his end, and a some drama came from that but it really added some spice and flare to the story. Plus the banter and dialogue was alluring and the story was both fun and flirty, sweet and heartfelt. And the thing that sticks out most for me with Cassandra is her outstanding personality, her sweet nature, and the way she bakes. I could see the passion with her baking right through the pages and I just generally liked her!
Icing On The Cake gets a STUPENDOUS FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
Excerpt :
He lifted his head and when his gaze met hers,
he smiled. Shy and sexy all at once, Cassie knew without question it was the
sort of smile that meant nothing but trouble. The kind that got him whatever he
wanted. The kind that was absolutely irresistible.
And as if that wasn’t enough, he had the whole
sexy accent thing going for him.
The stranger leaned closer, close enough for her
to smell the faint scent of his soap. It was clean and yet a little spicy and
made her want to lick his neck. Because yeah, that was something a perfectly
sane woman would do.
The energy between them crackled with
anticipation. Then again, maybe it was all in her head. Maybe she’d finally
read one too many romance novels and her brain was permanently rewired to think
every handsome stranger had the potential to be Mr. Right. Or at the very
least, Mr. Right Now.
A beat of silence ticked between them offering her the
perfect opportunity to play it safe, to explain what she actually meant and end
the whole matter with an awkward laugh. But this handsome stranger had awakened
something deep inside her and for once in her life Cassandra Miller didn’t feel
like playing it safe. Instead she felt wild and reckless, and the last thing
she wanted was to end the moment in any way at all. In fact, she wanted to
prolong it, to suspend it in time like something from The Matrix. Then
maybe she could even step back and watch from all angles because holy hell,
this gorgeous stranger was going to kiss her. Right there. In the shop. With
her hair up in a messy bun and flour and dough all over her hands. And what’s
more, she was going to let him. So instead of playing it safe, Cassie lifted
her chin just as he dipped his head and then . . . .
