Always the Baker, Never the Bride



Always the Baker Never the Bride by Sandra D. Bricker




Thirty-six-year-old Emma Rae Travis has been baking specialty cakes and melt-in-your-mouth pastries at The Backstreet Bakery in historic Roswell, just outside of Atlanta, for the last six years. But here s the rub about her job as a baker Emma is diabetic. When she tastes her creations, it can only be in the most minute portions. Emma is considered an artisan for the stunning creme brulee wedding cake that won her the Passionate Palette Award last year, but she s never even had one full slice of it. When Jackson Drake hears about this local baker who has won a prestigious award for her wedding cake artistry, he tells his assistant to be sure and include her in the pastry tastings scheduled at his new wedding destination hotel the following week. And for Jackson, that particular day has started out badly with two workmen trapped in a broken elevator and a delivery of several dozen 300-thread-count bed linens in the wrong size abandoned in the lobby. But when the arrogant baker he met a week prior in Roswell stumbles into the dining room with a platter of pastries and a bucketful of orders, he knows for certain: It s going to be a really rotten day. Can these two ill-suited players master the high-wire act and make a go of their new business venture? Or will they take each other crashing downward, without a net? And will the surprise wedding at The Tanglewood be theirs?** 


I thought that this was a great book. It was easy to read, no complications really. The heroin, Emma,  wasn't annoying or flighty. She's very even tempered and takes things in stride.  

Jackson, is doing this for his late wife. He's not looking for someone else to love, he's had that one true love, why look for another relationship at all?  Emma's pureness catches him off guard and he doesn't even realize it and shes ensconced in his heart. 

Do they work out their differences and become more than boss and employee? Guess you'll have to read this to find out won't ya??
