All’s Fair in Love and Cupcakes

By: Betsy St. Amant

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

At 26 years old, Kat is still living in the shadows of her family in Bayou Bend, Louisiana. Still working shifts at her Aunt Maggie's bakery. Still wondering what to do with her passion for baking and her business degree. And still single.

But when Lucas Brannen, Kat's best friend, signs her up for a reality TV bake-off on Cupcake Combat, everything Kat ever wanted is suddenly dangled in front of her: creative license as a baker, recognition as a visionary...and a job at a famous bakery in New York.

As the competition heats up, Lucas realizes he might have made a huge mistake. As much as he wants the best for Kat, the only thing he wants for himself - her - is suddenly in danger of slipping away.

The bright lights of reality cooking wars and the chance at a successful career dazzle Kat's senses, and Lucas is faced with a difficult choice: help his friend achieve her dreams...or sabotage her chances to keep her in Louisiana.

Joy, Sunshine, and Everything Good!!

I’m so full of sugary sweetness right now after finishing this gem of a novel!! Seriously, my heart is doing the jitterbug in my chest as I reflect on this romance. I cared so deeply for the characters and their dreams that I wanted to dive straight into this novel to right all the wrongs they faced and smooth over all their obstacles! This author is now on my must-read list!

Perfect Christian Romance

This was a wonderful story. Best part was I didn't find myself fast forwarding past improper dialogs or scenes.

As sweet as icing!!

So so so cute!! Great narration and storytelling!! Such a happy book! Quick read with a sweet ending!

Good 🥰

I liked it. Good characters, loved the different kinds of cupcakes and really felt like I was watching a cupcake bake off show! The misunderstandings were typical of the best-friends-in-love-but -afraid-to-say-it but it was not so annoying. I still enjoyed the story and they were very cute together. It had good feels!! I recommend!!!

Super religious

Good story, but this book really needs the "Religion & Spirituality" tag... Some of the most common words were God, Bible, Pray. I would not have purchased this had I known it was so religious.
