With Christmas season in full swing, baker Regina San Valentino is up to her elbows in cake batter and cookie dough. Between running her own business, filling her bursting holiday order book, and managing her crazy Italian family, she’s got no time to relax, no room for more custom cake orders, and no desire to find love. A failed marriage and a personal tragedy have convinced her she’s better off alone. Then a handsome stranger enters her bakery begging for help. Regina can’t find it in her heart to refuse him.

Connor Gilhooly is in a bind. He needs a specialty cake for an upcoming fundraiser and puts himself—and his company’s reputation—in Regina’s capable hands. What he doesn’t plan on is falling for a woman with heartbreak in her eyes or dealing with a wise-guy father and a disapproving family.

Can Regina lay her past to rest and trust the man who’s awoken her heart?

I liked this story. A lot.  I love stories about bakeries, and it had a sad touch with Reggie’s past. I love a story about crime families and Italian families. The story was funny, sweet and romantic. I loved Reggie and all of her family. Connor is hot and very sweet. I recommend this story.

Now having said that. I listened to this on audio and usually recommend the audio over the book. In this case I am going to say the narration was just ok. It was just a person reading the book and quite choppily at that. If you just want to listen to a good story while you do other stuff, it still is ok because the story is awesome.
