There’s
nothing a cupcake can’t fix.
At
least that’s what my heroine, Liv Crawford, believes in my contemporary single
title, A Taste of Trouble. It just
so happens, I completely agree.
My
borderline obsession with cupcakes began when they exploded onto the culinary
scene a few years back. Yes, I was a bandwagon jumper. But can you blame me? They
are so cute and delicious and versatile. They are perfect little treats to
celebrate happy news but more importantly, they are the perfect pick-me-up when
you’re feeling down. I’ve cried
many a tear into my cupcake icing.
In
A Taste of Trouble, Liv has spent
years testing out different recipes.
As the new owner of a cupcake bakery, she spends her days crafting
delicious and visually stunning works of art. It’s her passion. Her purpose. I
can relate to that because that’s how I feel about being a writer. But when it
comes to cupcakes, the only thing I’m passionate about is eating them.
Early
on in the book, Liv describes a Guinness Chocolate Cupcake. Now, I’m not going
to pretend that I can bake or even come up with a recipe that’s all my own.
Instead, I direct you to the My Baking Addiction blog for the recipe that
was the inspiration for the cupcakes in the book.
So
if you like cupcakes and things that are sugary sweet, try A Taste of Trouble. Oh, and there may even be a mention of French
Macaroons.
A Taste of Trouble
When
Liv Crawford decided to pursue her dream of owning her own bakery, it was no
surprise that she forgot to add “maintaining a serious relationship” to her
business plan. Not when she believes a cupcake can fix anything, even
loneliness.
Jake
Miller isn’t concerned about being lonely. He’s cast aside his playboy
lifestyle to pursue something more meaningful, his passion for photography. So,
when his boss asks him to pursue a beautiful woman and coerce her to his office
for a disguised meeting—no matter what it takes—in exchange for the opportunity
to turn his hobby into a career, he jumps at the chance. At first sight, Liv
awakens his long-buried desire for commitment, but his secret mission could
ruin his hopes of keeping her.
Despite
Liv’s commitment to swear off relationships to run her bakery, Jake quickly
becomes her number one distraction. Yet, even her misgivings can’t tame the
heat as they straddle the line between love and ambition.
