I truly enjoyed reading Sprinkled With Love written by Jennifer Faye, the third entry in the Bachelor Bake-Off series. This is wonderful collaboration by Tule authors has the Bachelor Bake-Off as a fund raiser for the town to buy a rundown house in Marietta and refurbish in the memory of firefighter Harry Morgan as a teen center. Each of the bachelors entered into this “contest” are not cooks. In this story, cowboy Avery Wainwright literally runs into Jillian Parker as he returns home to recover from a rodeo accident. Jillian worked for Avery as a nanny for his siblings until they turned eighteen last year and is about to open a shop with her best friend. Avery is entered into the Bake-Off by his sister as a way for him to honor his friend Harry Morgan, but Avery can’t bake. Avery turns to Jillian for her help to learn some baking skills so he doesn’t look like a fool at the competition. In the meantime, the cat, Romeo, that Jillian adopted for her mother seems to have fallen in love with Avery’s Marshmallow. Between the baking lessons, an awkward ex who won’t give up, miscommunication, and the cats, Avery and Jillian might have too many forces interfering with their chance to discover their feelings for each other. This was a sweet, fun and entertaining story with very likeable and authentic characters that you want to cheer on, hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written with complex characteristics. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. I am truly looking forward to the next entry in the Bachelor Bake-Off series. I highly recommend this book to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A sweet romance in the Bachelor Bake-off series. Who ever thought a cat, Romeo would be a matchmaker. Loved it. This is story of taking risks and not always looking back but moving forward. Avery, a rodeo cowboy has returned home and recovering from injuries and has been lassoed into the baking competition. Avery needs help in the kitchen, so his friend Jillian has offered to help. Soon they are working together and baking is not the only thing heating up in the kitchen. A great addition to this series, loved the main characters including Romeo. I highly recommend this story along with the rest of stories in this series.

Jennifer Faye has a confectionery delight on her hands with Sprinkled with Love. Avery and Jillian, lest we not forget Romeo the cat are the sweetest blend of sugar and spice and a few hardcore life lessons are fit in along the way. Both have to learn to take risks and appreciate the blessings ahead of them instead of the sorrows in their pasts. Factor in small town living with a hosts of helping hands that are as adorable as they are nosy and you have a charming piece of heaven wrapped up in a tiny bundle.
