After having worked with top European chefs, Sofia MacLean returned home to open her own bakery, Siùcar Fine Sweets. Between providing sweets for so many events and the store, everything was going according to plan and soon she could think about her franchise chain of confectioneries with only local products. Not even encounters with the unpleasantly handsome best man in her sister wedding Gabriel bothered her. Until numerous poisonings start appearing among the guests at the events and put everything she had built at risk.
Having succeeded so young, Gabriel Lanvini simply made it his goal to enjoy life to the fullest while he could, as he always knew his time would come sooner, just as it did for his mother. When he met the angry young pastry chef Sofia at his best friend's engagement dinner, he believed the inconvenience would be nothing more than a drink spilled on his shirt.
Among all the desserts and drama, Sofia must quickly figure out what is going on with her sweets before she loses her image, her bakery, and her dreams. Gabriel needs to decide if he is capable of reviewing the decisions he made so many years ago and opening up to new feelings. And together they will discover what the price of ambition and love are and how far they are willing to go to achieve them.
A compelling story about love, courage, trust and ambition, and how dangerous their opposites can be for everyone involved.
"As he tasted the dessert, Sofia followed his expression, but he was very good at show nothing. She had no way of knowing whether she would hear a compliment or a complaint. Given his history of irony, probably something to tease her about. But what she heard surprised her"

"My compliments to the chef." ~~~ Twenty-six year-old Kahlia Obisani is the youngest chef to have won the title of Food Doyen in the nation's toughest televised cooking competition. Overseen and judged by the biggest names in the culinary industry around the world, Kahlia became a national sensation when she won the title at the tender age of twenty. With her instant success and prize money, she set up her restaurant, a Michelin star establishment with her leading the helm as head chef. Her winning dish, now her signature dish, is the best selling item on the menu; a sweet dessert with root vegetables as the base ingredients. Thirty year-old Dorian Bankfurth is what most restauranteurs would consider the toughest food critic in the cooking scene. He's built and destroyed restaurants with a single review, putting multitudes of establishments on the map and driving even more into bankruptcy and closed doors. He's cold, judgemental, and cynical, but above all things he's fair. He gives reviews as honestly as he can, and has no problem giving credit where it's due. When his friends take him to award winning Obisani restaurant for his birthday, he's faced with a dish he never thought he'd encounter in his life; a dessert made from root vegetables. The kicker? Dorian hates sweet things. The moment he finally meets the chef behind the meal, both their worlds are rocked in a shocking contrast of sweet and sour. Kahlia's sweet disposition and Dorian's cold glare clash, sparking tension and whispers in those around them. Still, despite his abrasive attitude, Kahlia keeps smiling, infecting the man with a sweetness he hadn't known he was missing, and opening his palate to a whole new world he quickly became addicted to. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Could he accept the one ingredient his recipe was missing?Complete![Devil's Food Cake [✓] [grumpy/sunshine]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/98784396-256-k419229.jpg)

Sweet Spot
Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*Complete
