Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley

💖💖💖💖
Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley is a cute, humorous, light-hearted fake dating relationship featuring Jada Townsend-Matthews, who is fresh off of a reality dating show, and Donovan Dell, a professional NFL player and co-owner of a cupcake shop, Sugar Blitz. Donovan loves to bake. He establishes goals and works to meet them. He’s driven, calm, and controlled. Jada has no clue what she wants to do with her life and things don’t seem to be working out well for her either. She’s confused, uncertain, and insecure as well as being impulsive. Because of her impulsiveness and need to earn money, Jada agrees to a plan her grandmother cooked up, working for Donovan. When a reporter mistakenly believes they’re a couple, and they decide to take advantage of it by faking a relationship. This way, they can help the business and improve Jada’s image. It doesn’t hurt that the chemistry between Jada and Donovan is off-the-charts and the attraction is magnetic.

 

This story seems to have it all, a fake relationship, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, sizzling chemistry, a star football player who can make cupcakes and an unpopular reality star teaming up to repair public images and save the cupcake business. Combining romance and humor, the story also covers some  deep themes ranging from gambling addiction to the impact of social media on lives to blackmail to teamwork to how parents’ opinions and actions affect their children even as adults.

 

Ms. Wesley wrote the perfect start to a new series of football players who open a cupcake bakery together. She provided a tale rich with humor, emotions, sizzling chemistry, clever banter, and endearing secondary characters giving Jada and Donovan a chance at love, and a future together. I highly recommend Fake It Till You Bake It to other readers.
