About this listen

 A charming new LGBTQIA+ romcom from the bestselling author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL.
Audrey Lane is perfectly fine. Really. So what if she left her high-powered job as a Very Important Journalist—and her even higher-powered long-term girlfriend—to live a quiet life as a reporter for the second-biggest newspaper in Shropshire? And so what if she keeps hearing that same higher-powered long-term now-ex-girlfriend in her head night and day, constantly judging just how small Audrey's allowed her life to become?
She's fine. She's happy. She's perfectly within her groove. Do not-in-their-groove people get weekday drunk and impulsively apply for the UK's most beloved baking show?
All right, so maybe she's not completely fine, but being on Bake Expectations is opening her world again in ways she never anticipated. First through fellow contestant Doris, whose personal story of queer love during WW2 captures Audrey's heart, imagination and journalistic interest like nothing has in ages. Then through Jennifer Hallet, the most foul-tempered (and fouler-mouthed) producer, woman, and menace Audrey has ever met. Jennifer should be off-limits, but her fire lights something unexpected inside of Audrey, making her want to burn back a million times brighter. A million times hotter. A million times more herself than she's been in a long, long time. Contemporary Genre Fiction Humorous Literature & Fiction Romantic Comedy Heartfelt LGBTQIA+

I've been waiting for this book since book one of the series. All three books are VERY good but this one really sits above the others for me.

I loved the dual modern and historical story by lines. I also adored Audrey and Jennifer. Audrey just becoming a fixture with regard to Bake Expectations and being in Jennifer's orbit was not what I was expecting. I really enjoyed that fairly quickly into the book things took a hard left and I had no idea what to expect. Alexis Hall has the ability to draw me into a story and just truly enjoy the ride.

I listened to the audio of this and the narrator Samara MacLaren was fantastic. There was no difficulty keeping characters straight and her voice was 100%.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! The side story and main story worked really well together and got me hooked. I dare say it was the best book in the Bake Expectations series.
Now slight spoiler alert!
Once or twice I expected stupid stereotipical drama to unfold to shake the story and it didn't happen. Instead good communication solved the issues and I was sooo happy about that. I am a sucker for good communication in books and a livid hater of plots that are basing their drama on bad communication. Thank you Alexis Hall 🙂 You did it again!

Best one in the series

The power dynamics of the main couple were not for me but I really enjoyed Doris' story. The narrator is excellent!

Excellent narration for a very wholesome story
