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.

When I selected this I had no idea it followed on from Perfect Rhythm and I’d recommend reading that before this - although not necessary it does give a little more context on the main characters, especially Ash, the closeted flower shop owner, who is living a half life. Added to which it’s always great knowing what comes next for some favoured characters from a previous read.
There were some strong emotions here and not just from the main characters, which Jae portrays well and which resonated with me (although as a side note I’m not a fan of the many contrived similes scattered throughout) ….but I am a sucker for a happy ending and as usual found myself smiling as I read.
