Wow. So this was a ridiculously cute story. And it was amazing! The downside is of course its terrible influence on my diet. All the delicious baked goods described in this read gave me a serious sweet tooth. All I wanted to do while reading it was to eat cupcakes (and also, open up my own cupcake-shop).
Kiss My Cupcake is the very best if you’re looking for a cute, feel-good, rom-com. There’s absolutely nothing to gripe about – which makes writing a review pretty darn difficult. I can absolutely gush when the occasion calls for it, but it’s also kind of boring to read overly gush-y reviews. Therefore I’ll simply say this once: Kiss My Cupcake is super awesome.
I fell head over heels in love with this book. The story-setting, the whole vibe of the story was just so delightful. You know, it’s the kind of read where you just want to move into the book and stay there. Blaire was insta-likable. She’s driven and strong, but silly and quirky too. Ronan was also great, but since the first chapters are told from Blaire’s point of view, Ronan takes a bit more time to get to know and love. So the story is told through dual POV’s, but about two thirds are Blaire’s viewpoint.
This is a funny read as well. There’s banter and wit and you can’t can’t laugh. Also, the euphemisms are pure gold. Now, I doubt I’ll ever actually say anything out loud about riding a metaphorical bologna pony, but you can bet I’ll be thinking it.
It’s not easy to pinpoint exactly what made this story such a winner because there are so many things that I liked about it. The writing is top-notch (but that pretty much goes without saying) and I was sucked into the story from page one. Blaire’s and Ronan’s interactions are just so fun. And frustrating. And the sexual tension is through the roof. They had me really invested and I couldn’t but the book down.
There was a part, maybe 75% into the book, where the story lost a bit of steam. That would be after Blaire and Ronan get it on and there doesn’t appear to be any more hurdles to overcome. So for a few chapters there weren’t really a direction to the story. But that changed quickly and I was all in once again.
And really. Kiss My Cupcake is the kind of story where I just wanted to keep on reading. I wanted Blaire’s and Ronan’s happily ever after and I wanted to read about them having a bunch of cute babies and a dog. That’s the level of engaging this book was.
So this book left me feeling all the warm fuzzies – while also providing me with completely inappropriate sayings about mounting metaphorical sausage equines. I highly recommend!

Funny, sexy, and romantic all in one delicious little package!
WARNING: THIS BOOK WILL INDUCE AN INSATIABLE CRAVING FOR CUPCAKES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.Ever read a book so adorable that you would pinch its cheeks if you could? That was me pretty much the entire time I was reading Kiss my Cupcake. It was so stinking cute and had me craving cupcakes for a solid 5 hours. On top of that it checked all the boxes for the elements I look for in this type of rom-com story. Funny, sexy, and romantic all in one delicious little package.Blair’s life-long dream was to open a bakery. As the proud new owner of the cocktail cafe, Buttercream and Booze, she is determined to make it a success and prove to her wealthy and HIGHLY eccentric family (which were one of the highlights of the book for me) that she can stand on her own without their help or money. Everything is going exactly according to Blair’s plan until she meets Ronan Knight, the sexy, sarcastic, tattooed, plaid wearing owner of the bar next door who is the complete opposite of her in almost every way. When Ronan starts renovations for a new axe throwing room in his bar, things immediately get off on the wrong foot when he and Blair come face to face for the first time. He enjoys pushing her buttons and getting under her skin, but Blair refuses to be a push over and gives it right back to him. Both of them have dreams they are chasing, so when the Best Bar in the Pacific Northwest competition is announced, Blair and Ronan are determined to win it, and what follows is a series of one-upmanship and shenanigans that pits the business owners against one another. But a big chain restaurant opens up across the street however, and Ronan and Blair are forced to put their competition aside and work together.Kiss my Cupcake is a quirky rivals to lovers romance that’s a slow burn with minimal angst. Everything about this story utterly charmed me...the characters, the setting, the chemistry, the banter. It’s the perfect feel-good read for those lazy summer days where you just want to kick back and relax with a book that is the perfect amount of sweetness and heart, with humor and a dash of sizzle mixed in to balance it all out. If you love cupcakes, bar wars, and lighthearted romance I definitely suggest checking this one out!
