Yet another book I got through Shelf Awareness for free. This is supposedly a romance based on a real story through Match.com. As someone who has tried out Match.com, and knows it for what it is, something that still only works for the attractive people, just as in real life. I had to choke through those parts to get through. This is really just a very basic, simple, romance novel. The main characters are Michelle Snow and Todd Bracken. The other part I had an issue with was that after the first date they already were sad and depressed when the other was going out of town on a trip planned way before they even thought of each other. Insert gagging hand motion here.
Anyway, the main thing I did enjoy, was that Michelle's dream was to open a boutique cupcakery. I do love cupcakes. And at the beginning of each chapter it named one of the ideas, and told what it was made of. Here are some of the best sounding ones that make me want to rush out and buy a cupcake.
Ba-nilla: banana bottom with vanilla buttercream top
The "G" Man: gingerbread bottom with a lemon cream cheese buttercream top
Jackie-Oh!: chocolate bottom with almond buttercream top
Happy!: vanilla bottom with chocolate fudge top
Rediculous: red velvet bottom with vanilla cream cheese buttercream top
Whoopie Pie: chocolate bottom with whoopie cream filling & chocolate ganache top
Cookie MOMster: chocolate bottom with almond Oreo buttercream top
Campfire: graham cracker bottom with milk chocolate ganache & marshmallow top
Autumn Luv: spice bottom with almond buttercream top
Apple of My Pie: apple spice bottom with vanilla caramel buttercream top
Lemon Frost: lemon bottom with lemon buttercream top
Pumpkin Pie: pumpkin spice bottom with vanilla cream cheese buttercream top
Hungry yet? I'm wondering if this is a real bakery since this is supposed to be a reality based romance. It takes place in the DC area, which after visiting a couple years ago, I do think it is a neat area.
