This is the first full length book in this series. Hold the Lift was the previous novella which follows Sierra and Jude. and it follows JoJo and Cade. JoJo is Sierra's flat mate and Cade coincidentally is Jude's. While they have briefly met they do not really know each other. When JoJo's oven breaks just as she needs to put some very important cheesecakes in Cade is her only hope to get them baked.
I'm going to say now that this book should come with a warning that reads "Buy with Cheesecake". During the few days that I spent reading this I think I consumed at least 3 individual sized cheesecakes but if I wasn't on a diet it would have been 3 large ones.
JoJo or Josephine, is a recipe taster for Bake it! magazine but she wants to do much more than just tasting. She has many ideas for future articles but her boss doesn't think she can make it.
Cade is extremely passionate about hockey but he wants a girl that sees him for more than just the game. After last years relationship disaster he's looking for someone who's real.
I adored this book because it's fun. JoJo and Cade's brewing relationship is full of teasing and banter which makes the book as light an airy as a sponge but hidden inside are some deep and real issues that we can all relate to. Aven's writing gives you the perfect mix of these two elements.
I have been with Aven since her first book Connectivity and it has been an honour to see book after book as she has grown. How she has improved and excelled her self with each new book. I honestly cannot wait to see what she brings for us next.
