Cake a Diem
by F.S. Faqir
Do you know how that last piece of chocolate cake always looks so tempting and irresistible, with its thick chocolate frosting, layered sponge...
Well, that right there is what Jake Richards is to me.
We met in a bar; it was conventional until my eyes locked onto his and I knew at that moment that this could be the beginning of the end for me.
I'm trying to start a clean slate away from my life in small towns, by hitting the city. However, escaping to bury away two years of my life, there's only one problem in my way. Jake.
Avoiding him turns out to be more complicated than I thought. With the perusal of opening my bakery, we only get brought closer together, under circumstances that even I cannot change.
Now, I can't help asking myself, can I resist him when he looks like freaking Clark Kent, with his rolled-up sleeves, black framed glasses and a smile that makes me melt every time?
Can I have my cake and eat it without giving too much away?
Carpe Diem, right?
Or should I say Cake a Diem?
Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
I love a good RomCom, and Cake a Diem looked like something right up my alley, but I had a hard time getting into this one. The dialogue felt a bit clunky, and the story was more telling than showing. Those things aside, I think the story was just a little too cutesy for my tastes, which can be chalked up to just not the book for me. I loved the idea of this one and I did enjoy the Superman angle, and there were some parts along the way that were laugh out loud funny.This is a debut, and the author certainly shows talent, so I'll be interested to watch her grow as a writer with future books.
