Cupcake: A Steamy, Curvy Girl Bakery Romance (The Fluffy Cupcake Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 293 ratings

Haylee Davis, the owner, and baker extraordinaire of The Fluffy Cupcake in Lake Pendle, Minnesota, is staring thirty in the face. Rather than spend it alone, she's determined to find her perfect match in the next thirty days, no matter how many frogs she has to kiss.

Brady Pearson is in love. The problem? He’s in love with his boss. He’s waited seven long years for Haylee to notice him, but since she hasn’t, he's taking matters into his own hands this year. It's time to teach Haylee she doesn't have to kiss frogs when a prince who worships her is right across the baker's bench.

Futile first dates, cupcake competitions, and mean girls offer this romantic comedy laugh-out-loud moments and just enough tension to make you believe in true love again. Join Haylee and Brady on their journey of love, laughter, and cupcakes!

I absolutely loved this book, and meeting the wonderful characters! Haylee and Amber are best friends and own the Fluffy Cupcake Bakery. Brady works for them and makes the best bread and although he has the opportunity to run his own bakery he will never leave because of Haylee. He has been trying for 7 years to get Haylees attention, but she knows his reputation with the women and although she has set her goal to be in a relationship by the time she is 30, she won’t allow Brady to love her and leave her. As successful as The Fluffy Bakery is, Haylee’s arch enemy , Darla, is determined to ruin everything Haylee has worked for. Can Brady convince Haylee that he isn’t who she thinks he is, and can he protect her from Darla? You will fall in love with the wonderful characters and you will definitely be craving A Fluffy Cupcake…or two

    Haley owns a bakery with her best friend. Her best friends runs the front while she does the baking along with her kitchen manager, Brady. Brady has had a crush on Haley from the beginning, but he'll have to convince her that he is the to stay.
    Short and sweet, I really liked this couple.

    I truly enjoyed this book. It was a fun read! Both Haylee and Brady were orphaned and went through the foster system. Brady went to a family who loved and raised him, whereas Haylee did not have a great life until she met her bestie, Amber! WHen Amber's sister turned 18 and went to college, they were able to take Haylee in and then her life was forever changed!

    Haylee is successful in business, but has a low "body" self esteem and the town "BULLY" feeds off this! Darla is the kind of person everyone loves to hate!

    Brady has worked for Haylee for just about 7 years and has wanted Haylee to date him for most of those years, but she can't believe he could be interested in her because of her "cupcake" body -- thin at the top and thick at the bottom, but he's been in love with her for years!

    He finally kisses her in the cooler and things seem to take off! Then, Darla causes more problems and she attacks Haylee. I don't want to write more spoiler, but you need to read this book. It is fun, fast-paced and I'm ready to start Book 2!

    Thanks, Katie, for your books! Though some of your books make me cry, most of them make me laugh, too!

    I think I expected more. It was a cute short read but it didn't hold up to what I hoped it would be. That's on me of course. It was cute and sweet and well written buut...the dialogue wasn't that great (and dialogue is usually my deal breaker) and all the bakery references (even during intimate moments) was just too much!
    As I said all in all it was okay just not to my taste (no pun intended)

    I love reading books on romance in a small town where all your neighbors are friends. They do not only know you but are part of an extended family. I love the part where the hero was patient enough to wait for the heroine to take a chance on him. I love how the hero understands and tolerates the insecurities of his love and…. He still loves her despite it. That’s love beyond the physical.

    ****MILD SPOILERS AHEAD****

    I liked the story. It was a fun read, if a bit over the top at times. I've worked in a bakery before, so the theme really called to me.

    Haylee's insecurity issues were real. I've struggled with similar issues for years myself. I get it. She has body positivity issues, mostly stemming from the town Mean Girl Darla. But the reader doesn't need to have it crammed down their throat every other page. It got tiresome less than halfway through the book.

    I get that there aren't a lot of substitute options for the word "cupcake", but the number of times it was used in this book was too much.

    Every page, it seemed, there was a reference to her business name, or Brady and Darla were calling her "cupcake". Brady used it as an endearment, while Daela used it as an insult. Not gonna lie. That got old, too. It was explained why he did it, but I think that explanation could have come sooner in the story than later. Otherwise it just seemed disrespectful on his part to keep using the endearment when she asked him to stop.

    As for Darla, I would have liked to see an epilogue as to what happened with her. Obviously she went to jail for assault. But I would have liked to see how Haylee overcame that adversity, since it was such a source of pain and stress for most of her life.

    Overall an enjoyable read. Some parts made me laugh out loud, and others made me cringe (Sorry, Max. I would have walked out on you, too!). It was a pleasant way to pass a cold Midwesr-winter day.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this story, a new to me author.
    The characters are delightful, Brady is adorable but Haylee just can't see it.
    The storyline is so enduring, it makes you think...
    It's so true in the way Haylee sees the world, like she's really not good enough for anything but baking. It's so amazing to see her actually coming to terms with the fact that people really do love her!
    I really enjoyed reading this story, a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, it's just so real.

    What a cute small town love story. Filled with love and laughter and even a little drama. Just as small town life is. Hayley and Brady are both awesome characters as are all the others too. I can’t wait to delve into the next book and head to the lake once more.
