Synopsis

An unexpected romance. A haunting mystery. Pastries to die for. Amateur baker Claire Walker is thrilled to be a contestant on Britain’s Battle of the Bakers. She can almost smell the fresh pastries wafting through the air. If she can win the grand prize, she can ditch her teaching job and launch her baking career. The Viscount of Colburn, Jonathan Ainsley, is the custodian of Blackfirth Park and an eligible bachelor. He reluctantly agrees to allow the cooking competition show to film on his estate, but when a contestant is found dead soon after filming begins, Jonathan is forced to get involved. To make matters worse, the baker’s death stirs up rumors of the legendary death of the tenth Viscountess of Colburn two hundred and fifty years earlier. Even as suspicion falls on some of the bakers, a decidedly different kind of heat begins to simmer between Claire and Jonathan. If they are to have any hope of a future romance, they must first solve the mystery before the show gets canceled or someone else falls prey to what some believe is the Blackfirth Park ghost.

Goodness! That was a fun read! I liked the English manor setting with all the delicious sounding food references! I’ve always been a sucker for baking shows so I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I will say, this is a hard one when you’re on a diet and really craving pretty much anything loaded with suga......more

Goodreads review by Zoe on January 13, 2025

2.5/5 rounded down. I was originally going to give this a 2.5 rounded up to a 3, but I could not do it. There was one stupid little thing that made it impossible for me to give this anything higher than that rounded-to 2 stars. That one stupid thing was the cursing with baked goods. That felt so imma......more

There were several things I enjoyed about this book, though ultimately it didn't quite work for me. I thought the tribute to the Great British Baking Show was so fun, and if you've ever seen any seasons of that you'll be able to picture the setting, the cast, and the hosts so easily! I also really l......more
