About this ebook
'Powerfully written, tender. . . showcases the talent of this brilliant author' The Courier
Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster.
Despite his passion for baking, constant self-doubt has left him a curdled, directionless mess. So, when his roommate enters him in Bake Expectations, the nation's favourite baking show, Paris is sure he'll be the first one sent home.
And yet, not only does he impress the judges and win week one's challenge - he also catches the eye of fellow contestant, Tariq Hassan. Sure, he's the competition, but he's also incredibly cute with more confidence than Paris could ever hope to have.
But when the show's vicious fanbase confirms his worst anxieties, neither his growing romance with Tariq nor his success in the competition can keep Paris's fear of failure from spoiling his happiness.
If Paris can find the strength to face the chorus of hecklers that live in his brain, he'll realise it's the sweet things in life that he really deserves.

'Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. I'm screaming, people!' Sonali Dev
'The writing is witty, and [the] chemistry is irresistible, but it's Hall's insights about trust and self-worth that set the story apart. This is a triumph' Publishers Weekly
'Hall does it again with this scrumptious, quietly subversive rom-com again . . . Hilarious, heartwarming, and grounded, Rosaline's story proves that happy endings look different from person to person' Publishers Weekly
'A tasty tale that most Bake Off fans could get their teeth into...' Sunday Post

Three and a half stars. There was a lot of things left unanswered for me, eg why Paris and his parents hadn't spoken for over a year which creates great rounded characters but does leave the reader wanting to know more. Overall, like the first book in this series, this mixes a well-known cosy, comic reality TV show with romance and some more serious issues. Can't wait for the next one. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.
