Sweet Mess

Jayci Lee delivers “a perfect balance of impeccable wit, laugh out loud hilarity, and off the charts chemistry. A Sweet Mess is a sinfully decadent romantic comedy.”—New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting

Aubrey Choi has been content running her highly successful bakery Comfort Zone and with its first expansion taking up all of her time, dating has been the least of her priorities. Then a one-night-stand with gorgeous Korean hunk Landon Kim makes her want things she didn’t think she had time for. Too bad it turns out he’s a celebrity food critic whose scathing review of Comfort Zone goes viral and nearly destroys Aubrey’s business—and her fond memory of their night together.

Landon tries to clean up the mess he made by offering Aubrey a spot on the new celebrity cooking show he’s producing. She agrees to use this as a way to save her bakery and her reputation—no thanks to him—but vows to guard her heart. Now Aubrey and Landon find themselves sharing a villa in California wine country, which is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. For the next three weeks, baker and critic will tempt each other as they struggle to resist admitting that they have all the necessary ingredients for love.

“A rich, vibrant romance that’s a feast for all the senses.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

This is one of those books where the more I think about it, the madder I get. So many annoyances and plot holes. If Landon Kim was so honorable, he wouldn't have run out of the Comfort Zone without giving them a chance to make things right, and then compounded that with a terrible review of one item on the menu. If after all that he wanted to make things right, he could have worked something out to put Aubrey on his show and then fairy tale that they fell in love, and the world would have eaten it up. Who really knew they slept together? Also, how did Aubrey's father find out about Landon, and if that came up, the author should have used it for more conflict.
