The story of long nights in a wintry mountain hotel, a baking show with secrets, a snowman called Jeremy, and finding the greatest love of all.
After winning season four of ratings hit the World’s Best Baking Show, Brody Thomas had become a sought-after cake maker to the stars. Happily married, he dreamed of a bright future, but his perfect life imploded when he discovered that his husband had done nothing but lie to him. A year later, Brody is mid-divorce, and his life has been turned upside down, so being part of the WBBS charity event is excellent timing. He’s sure it will give him time away from home and space to get his head straight, only he never expected to meet the man of his dreams in a snowy Alberta.
Winning season one of WBBS gave Justin Mallory a chance to outrun the demons of a childhood lost in the foster system. He’s a social media influencer, with millions of followers, and works every hour to make money that equals security for the rest of his life. His marketing team signs him up for the WBBS Christmas charity show, but he’s convinced he’ll fall at the first hurdle. Only, after a few days in the competition, his worry isn’t that he’ll be the first to leave, it’s that he’ll lose his heart to a rival baker, Brody.

So sweet, so good and the audio is great!
I love everything that RJ Scott writes – her Christmas stories are particularly wonderful – and Cupcakes & Christmas is no exception. I also love Sean Crisden’s audio performances and he did his usual fantastic job with this one. The audiobook of Cupcakes & Christmas was actually available before the ebook was published so I bought it and started listening to it before I began reading my advanced copy of the ebook.
I don’t watch TV so I haven’t seen any of the bake-off shows that this one was inspired by but that didn’t matter; it was a great story regardless of what inspired it. Justin and Brody are both previous winners of the World’s Best Baking Show and now they are back for a special Christmas themed celebrity bake-off. They’ve never met in person but Justin had a crush on Brody until he found out that Brody wasn’t available – or is he?
The story moves at a nice pace and I loved it but I have to complain about one thing – I got way too hungry while I was reading/listening to this! RJ’s descriptions of all the things being baked kept my mouth watering and my tummy rumbling. LOL
If you are a lover of MM Christmas romance don’t pass this one up!
