My favorite type of romance is a humorous one and Here for the Cake hit the mark.  What is liked most about the book was the banter between Mina and Ben.  Mina and Ben where friends growing up, and Ben was Mina's boyfriends best friend.  They really never liked each other very much or did they....  Ben contacted Mina much later in life to attend Luke's wedding (Mina's ex).  Of course, Mina's best friends need to come too and it's an all out party.  The characters are prominent in this book, many of them quite funny. What I didn't like so much was that the humor seemed forced.  Almost every word that comes out of their mouths is sarcastic or forced funny.  There was also tons of swearing which I don't mind usually but it could of been toned down. I like my humor to be a little more subtle.  The romance between Mina and Ben was lukewarm at best.  They would start to pick up some steam then Ben would say something sarcastic and it would be not so relatable for me.  Overall, it is a good beach read for romance lovers.  I would like to see more from this author.
