This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
A reality star and a cupcake-baking football player pretend to be a couple in order to save his bakery in this sweet and sexy romance from Jamie Wesley, Fake It Till You Bake It.
Jada Townsend-Matthews is the most reviled woman in America after turning down a proposal on a reality dating show. When she comes home to lick her wounds, Jada finds herself working at San Diego’s newest cupcake bakery, Sugar Blitz, alongside the uptight owner and professional football player Donovan Dell.
When a reporter mistakenly believes Jada and Donovan are an item, they realize they can use the misunderstanding to their advantage to help the bakery and rehabilitate Jada’s image. Faking a relationship should be simple, but sometimes love is the most unexpected ingredient.
Fake it Till You Bake It is a sweet confection of a novel, the perfect story to curl up with and enjoy with a cupcake on the side.

Why I’m Waiting: When I first heard of this, I LOST it! Baking, sports romance, and any books with Black characters by Black authors is what I live for! And this one actually has some “non-fiction” vibes, so this makes me so happy! (By non-fiction vibes I mean thisssss: https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/shows/cupcake-guys-training-camp) I cannot wait to see how this is going to go. This ticks so many me boxes, and I’m hoping against all hope it lives up to it!
What about you? Will you be waiting on this with me? Let me know in the comments!
Cute pick! Glad this one checks a lot of boxes for you. Hope you positively love it once you get to read it!
