About this listen
They call me the sugar whisperer.
Anything your tongue desires, I can bake it. Scones? Child's play. Cupcakes? I'll frost them so good you won't know what hit you. Donuts? Please!
You're talking to a master baker.
But there's one egg I've never been able to crack.
My best friend.
Correction: my former best friend.
She's the apple in my pie. The whip in my cream. The lemon in my meringue. The wish in my bone. She's the one who got away.
After ten years in the military, she's back. She's bruised and battered by life, but she's back. Except, she's not my second chance. She's gone to the dark side. Running a rival bakery in a town not big enough for two.
So, now I have to decide - which do I want more?
My bakery?
Or the woman I never should've let go in the first place?
Master Baker is a deliciously fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a smooth-talking baker, the one who got away, and a goat with more matchmaking tendencies than a nosy old grandpa. It stands alone with no cheating or cliff-hangers.

But underlying all this humor is true emotion. Grady loved the heroine Annika. They were best friends in high school and he finally got the courage to tell her how he felt right before she went into the military. She still went because she didn’t want to be like her mother, who had her and her sister when she was young, without help from the father. Feelings of abandonment also ran deep with Annika. They lost contact, with both characters holding on to hurt about how things progressed.
Fast forward 10 years- Annika came back to take care of her mother, who just became blind. She wanted to follow through with her mom’s dream of a bakery but who owns the bakery in a competing town? Yep, Grady (there’s a lot of bad blood between Shipwreck (Grady’s town) and Sarcasm (Annika’s town)). Can they put aside the hurt and their town’s animosity to achieve their HEA? Read on to find out. Full of hijinks, humor and heart, it really makes me wish I lived in a small town where I could be friends with these people.
Now, I got to relive this awesome story via the audiobook. Both narrators, Virginia Rose and Jason Clarke, are fantastic. They play multiple characters (and there are a lot of them!) perfectly. I'm still impressed at how they can shift so easily between the many many characters. And can I just say, Jason Clarke with his gruff voice? Sigh. I could listen to this book again and again! And since I own it, I plan to!
Lots of laughs and plenty of heart

As all Pippa Grant's books this one made me laugh, and I hope to find more books by her.
I really recommend this book
Love and baking, does it get better?

However, the main joy is how all of the characters from other books, and across different story threads, all make cameo appearances. It totally makes the whole fictional world so much more vivid and real.
I loved all of the new and recurring characters in this book, with a special mention to Sue, the matchmaking goat! 😂
Wonderful writing and excellent narration. Love both of these narrators so much.
Another fantastic Pippa Grant book
