A wonderful piece that explores the nature of love and common misconceptions.  The key message is that love is not falling for a man or a woman who happens to be a certain kind of person, but falling for a person who happens to be a man or woman.This text is delightful and light and is a captivating read for the characters and the sense of discovery around the entire text.  Readers allowing themselves to be open to the text will most likely find the text touching, entertaining, and provides a fair helping of laughs.Much like the protagonist's desserts, this isn't a particularly filling piece, but rather a pleasant and light treat.  For that reason, I am slightly hesitant to give it four stars; however the characters, humor, and sense of exploration (in more than just the obvious) make me bump the rating up a star.  It's truly a warming piece with a unique setup.Those who are reading strictly for erotic content will probably be disappointed - the erotic elements are well written and fantastic, but rather select.  Put another way, this is not smut-fiction (not to judge against smut-fiction), but rather fiction with a touch of erotica.The only real criticism I have with the piece is the misandry undertones throughout the book.  Granted, men are probably NOT the target audience here, but it can feel a bit heavy-handed at times.  The other criticism I have is in a handful of loose ends with regards to some of the sub-plots within the text.  Overall, though, I found the book engaging and entertaining and a pleasant diversion.
