I really, really wanted to like this book. It had a cute premise: young woman is attracted and falls for an older man, who's all alpha and isn't afraid to show it. Sounds good, huh? Yeah it did to me, but the story just lost me. I just didn't get it. Jenny works at this bakery shop and her boss makes fudge cakes. Her fudge cakes have been known to be an aphrodisiac to sex, so this shop is very popular. Ok this plot is interesting, somewhat. But just kinda felt corny. It was mentioned during their sex scenes together, but did it need to be? I just really didn't see a point to it. For me, food and sex don't mix. It's just messy and frustrating.I felt the writing was a bit juvenile. With time writing can only and hopefully get stronger. I understand that this is a novella, so you may not get as much detail as a full length book, but even with some novellas I've read, I found that those novellas gave me more detail and character description and flow then this one. Then, when you got to the end of the novella I was literally scratching my head. It just ended on a cliffhanger no less. Grrrrrr.In the end, it wasn't bad and it wasn't the greatest I read. The author definitely needs to steady the flow of the story and give us a plot that we care about. There is some definite potential but just not my kind of read. Out of a 5, I'm giving this one a 2.
