My Sugar Cookie

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the 15th book in the Man Card series. In this book. Kris is going to enter his sugar cookie recipe in another contest where the prize is $25,000. This will be the first time Kris entered the contest as the main baker, after assisting before. At the airport he meets Millie and they keep running into each other. When they realize they are both going to be in the same competition, they become friends and spend some time together throughout the taping. Millie is a firefighter and loves to bake. When her sister and friend convinced her to enter the contest, she didn't think she stood a chance. Millie and Kris grew closer and both were attracted to the other, but they decided not to be together until after the competition was over. I really enjoyed this book, I love this series and this was another great one. Kris was funny and everything that could go wrong for him did, but he continued. I like how they developed a friendship and got to know one another before they were together. I loved their connection and think they were great together. Another great one.

This is Kris and Millie’s story, and so much fun to read! Kris, a professional pastry chef, is signed up as a contestant in some sort of “special” Holiday Baking Competition for a $25,000 prize. On the first day of taping, everything that could go wrong went wrong! Millie Andrews, one of the other contestants who signed up at the last minute, is a firefighter professionally and a natural at baking. With the long hours spent at the firehouse, she naturally gravitated to the kitchen to cook and bake to her heart’s content! Baking was her passion. As Kris got up for the start of filming on the set of The Baker’s Network, he tripped – not unusual since he was sort of klutzy – except he was hoping to be calm and collected in front of the woman he kept bumping into all the way here. When the first item was assigned, Kris couldn’t get his dough to form properly and had to start all over. His first day was a disaster, but his cookie offerings kept him in the challenge. For Millie, Kris’ bad day made him seem more real, and it helped to see that even he could make mistakes too. As they returned to the hotel, both were again surprised at the number of coincidences as they were both on the 10th floor, in the same hall, and only a few rooms away from each other! Almost like it was meant to be? This was a really good short story in this series that I am totally enjoying. Seeing how Millie and Kris meet and are attracted to each other and keep bumping into each other kept me laughing. It didn’t take long for a friendship to start. Grab your copy and see how the competition turns out – and whether there is something more waiting for these two.

I loved this story! It is a great next installment in the Man Card series, and it was fun to see characters from the previous book. There's a bit of role reverse in that Kris is a professional baker, and Millie is a firefight fighter. But that doesn't stop Kris from being a strong male, or Millie from being feminine. This felt like a story you'd hear from a couple about how they met, and i just REALLY loved reading it - very feel good. Very much looking forward to the next story, watching as more friends find love! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
