Helena's new book is fast-paced and a fun read. It's about Blaire's cupcake business and her relationship with her lumberjack neighboor Ronan, who happened to open a bar right next door (which features "super normal and calm stuff" like axe-throwing contests). Their competition for more clients is intense, until they have to work together in order to overcome a third rival that later arrives in town. This is a clear enemies-to-lovers trope with a simple and predictable narrative, which is perfect for those who are looking for a light rom-com this summer.

I love reading previews for my most anticipated releases! I have enjoyed all of Helena Hunting's books so far so I cannot wait to read this one further. Cupcakes are my favorites and I love the enemies to lovers trope so I can already tell I am going to love this one.

This preview of the first 4 chapters is great. I love Helena Hunting, and I can already tell this is going to be a great enemies to lovers story. Blair’s absolutely hates Ronan right now, but we all know how this is going to end up. Plus, the cupcake and cocktail combos sound so good, I wish Buttercream and Booze was a real place! I can’t wait to read the full book.

I have recently finished reading a preview of Kiss my cupcake by Helena Hunting courtesy of netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is a spicy rom com with some major anger issues from the female protagonist Blair and The Hot guy and Neighboring business owner Ronan who is irking Blaire as often he can, this book definitely got off to a great start and I can’t wait to finish reading it when it comes out on August 11, 2020.

Cupcakes, cocktails, and a hot axe throwing lumberjack? Yes please! I absolutely can not wait to read the rest of this book.

I was grateful for the opportunity to read a few chapters from this book, because I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to keep it on my TBR since the plot doesn't really appeal to me and the reviews haven't been great so far, but it's hard to pass up a new Helena Hunting. I think there definitely will be people who like this book - the enemies-to-lovers romance, a "quirky" female character, some Hallmark-style cuteness with more heat - I just don't think that's me.

*Thank you netgalley for the preview*

Kiss my Cupcake is about Blaire and her desire to have her cupcake shop, Buttercream and Booze succeed. Before her opening a bar is opening next door and Blaire doesn't like this one bit. Chaos then ensues.

I really liked the preview so far! I think i'll definitely pick the copy up when its released. I love a good hate to love/rival story. I also liked getting to see the beginning of Daphne and Blaire friendship and Blaries talk of her parents/family.

This was a fun preview! The dialogues are spot on, the pacing is just right and the cast of characters is funny and likeable, The first four chapters are a promising setup for a fun enemies to lovers romcom. I am looking forward to reading the full story of Blaire and Ronan's cupcake shop/bar wars.

I received an ARC preview in exchange for an honest review.
