📚 BOOK MAIL 📚

Happy release day to @trinielf and her gorgeous Sweethand!! 🥳🥳🥳

I will not confirm nor deny the possibility that some pacing around the living room might have taken place while waiting for the postman to arrive with my copy… I will not be taking criticism at this moment 😂

Have you looked at it though? It’s just so charming, and sweet, and cozy-looking! @lenikauffman never fails to deliver a stunning cover! 😍😍

Just wait until you hear about the plot though! Did I mention it’s HATE TO LOVE, the most superior trope ever? And that the main character is a PASTRY CHEF? Oh man, I can already feel the urge to bake calling out to me! Here’s how the story goes:

After a public meltdown over her breakup from her cheating musician boyfriend, Cherisse swore off guys in the music industry, and dating in general for a while, preferring to focus on growing her pastry chef business.

When Cherisse’s younger sister reveals she’s getting married in a few months, Cherisse hopes that will distract her mother enough to quit harassing her about finding a guy, settling down and having kids. But her mother’s matchmaking keeps intensifying.

Cherisse tries to humour her mother, hoping if she feigns interest in the eligible bachelors she keeps tossing her way, she’ll be off the hook, but things don’t quite go as planned. Turns out for the first time in ages, she and Keiran King, the most annoying man ever, are on the island at the same time. Avoiding him is impossible, especially when Keiran’s close friend is the one marrying her sister, and he’s the best man to her maid of honour.

Keiran doesn’t know what to make of Cherisse now. They’ve always butted heads. To him she’s always been a stuck-up brat who seeks attention, even while he secretly harbored a crush on her. Now with Cherisse’s sister marrying one of his good friends he can’t escape her as the wedding activities keep throwing them together.

When things turn heated after a rainy night of bedroom fun, they both have to figure out if they can survive the countdown to wedding day, without this turning into a recipe for disaster.

Merry Christmas and Happy “here’s a surprise release” Day for me hehe.

Lavender: Name something that relaxes you.

Organizing things, digital fanart, driving my car (not necessarily the ones I sell), listening to music, stealing cuddles from my husband.

Honeybee: Name something positive you have done for yourself or someone else in the last two weeks.

For me: chilled the fuck out about work stress and started performing better almost immediately which allowed me to chill out even more. Also I cut my hair spontaneously yesterday and I luff it.

For others: helped my husband chill the fuck out, helped him figure out how to actually enjoy life/things/hobbies again, did my job and helped people who need cars get into cars because oh my god some people drive deathtraps for waaaaay longer than they should to save money.
