Thank you netgalley for a copy of this preview. Only being able to read 4 chapters was a tease! I will definitely be preordering this book! I loved the banter between the characters and I can’t wait to watch the competitiveness continue on between Ronan & Blaire. I love the idea of a social media influencer hosting a contest and Ronan and Blaire going head to head. I’m 100% ordering this book right now!

Thank you to NetGalley for an excerpt of this book in exchange for my honest review. The preview looks really cute, with fun characters.
Who doesn't love a book about buttercream frosting, lemon cake, and maple bacon smokey-sweet cupcakes! Throw in the cute lumberjack opening the axe-throwing bar next door, and a bit of (hopefully) romance, and this book has the makings of a winner.

This seems lika an excellent start to a book.I love their first meeting. I have read Helena Hunting before and have an excellent track record with her. So, I'll not be surprised if I love this book.

Blaire reads as a fantastic and relatable character in a way that's bound to make you laugh. I also admire her for going after her dreams and not giving a shit about what people think.

We don't get to know Ronan Knight that much in this preview but what we do get to know is that he's funny, hot and a grade A prankster.

I think this book is gonna be the perfect rom-com to get lost in with some great laugh out loud moments.

I was sent an advance preview of this book by netgalley in exchange for an honest review, and I seriously can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of it!

Blaire is a trained chef turned cupcake baker who is opening her first shop, Buttercream and Booze, (cupcakes and mixed drinks, what’s not to love?) but the ax throwing bar next door is also newly opening its doors. The two shop owners get off on the wrong foot and engage in a hilarious prank war against each other.

So far, the book has been super fun, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest!

This serves just a little bit of sugar and spice, enough to make you want to read the book.
I also love that battle lines have been drawn.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I haven’t read any of Helena Hunting but after seeing the reviews I was really pleased to read this preview and it didn’t disappoint! I devoured it quickly and enjoyed the introductions to the characters and the setting up of a new business. The cafe sounds like the perfect place to hold a book club!
Blair is a little spoilt and uptight but I think her friends keep her grounded, and if the relationship with Ronan is going where we think it’s going then I think his cheeky prankster ways will help to chill her out!
I would definitely read the rest of this book.

I love the premise in this! Battling storefront neighbors? Sure! Sounds fun! Blair is kind of an uptight sort of lady. Ronan is a fun-loving prankster man. I grabbed this preview because I read and liked her Good Luck Charm novel. Reading this preview was pretty similar in style to that other novel, This is going to be an enemies-to-lovers book.

Blair is uptight. Doesn't seem to like pranks, can't stand her store neighbor. Mostly doesn't swear (instead says "heck", "freaking", etc) except for when she does. Actual swearing makes her sound more like an adult, and it doesn't jar me from the story as much as the not-swearing does.

Ronan is fun! I like him a lot already. He pulls pranks on Blair. Wears a lot of plaid. Axe throwing - yes please! I honestly think Ronan is going to be the ticket to pulling this book through. I will be picking this title up for Ronan alone. By the end of the review chapter 3, I was hooked on how this is going to play out!

Helena Hunting has been on my long to read list for a long time. A Facebook friend promotes all of her releases heavily, and several have intrigued me. I completely understand after reading this excerpt. Not only do I need the rest of this story, but I need to read all of her books.

This was a shot preview, so I can write a review. But I really loved Meet Cute, I will love this one two.

Review of four-chapter teaser. The cupcakes sound delicious, and the stress and strains of opening a new business are well-described.

I found it difficult to empathize with the lead female character. Blaire seems privileged, combative, hyper-sensitive, and whiny. The author's intent may be to show her growth during the book, but during the first four chapters, there was little that made me want to spend time with Blaire. The lead male character was two-dimensional - a good-looking guy who shows interest with juvenile pranks and teasing. Their banter was jarring and uncomfortable.

From these few chapters, I probably would not continue reading - but the cupcakes do sound delicious!

Many thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This preview makes this new novel look cute and worth a read. Would love to read the whole book when available.

This is my kind of cupcake!
Thank you NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to preview the first 4 chapters.

I am desperate to read more of this. It was such a good teaser, I cannot stop thinking about what happens next. I am so on edge, I  am on my way to preorder this book. Like RIGHT THIS MOMENT.

The book title seems to be suitable for the story within the covers. It is about Blaire who is following her dream and opening her storefront selling original cupcakes and drinks in unicorn-shaped glasses. To make her life not so easy, she finds out (in a not so pleasant way) that there is a pub opening right next door. Of course, the owner of the pub is a super sexy but extremely annoying guy named Ronan who happens to bring the worst out of her. So that’s how their enemies to lovers trope start.

I love how quirky and cute the heroine is. I love the annoying and creative neighbor, who definitely knows how to flirt (unfortunately the heroine is too riled up to notice it). I am looking forward to reading how they hate and love and hate each other. I noticed that each chapter starts with Blair’s name on top of it, so fingers crossed, that there will be chapters from Ronan’s POV as well. I would love to read what he thinks about all this.  

As a cherry on top of the cupcake is bright-colored super cute cover. Now I really need to find some cupcakes to eat.

These simple covers with the bright colours are becoming popular at the moment and they definitely do catch the eye. But what about what's within the pages? This was a perfect example of a book that I should read before simply just buying because of its cover. Surprisingly, this one took me a little while to get into. I don't think the writing style was the write style for me, as it was this that originally made it had for me to get into the story. I couldn't really connect to the character and therefore the story and would've simply have been a book that would've either have stayed on my shelf for a while, or one that I would've eventually have gotten rid of. I had to push myself just to finish the sampler I had, thanks to NetGalley, so that does not scream good things for me about the reading the rest of the book.

Kiss My Cupcake is the latest romance by bestselling Helena Hunting, I was thrilled for the opportunity to preview the first four chapters of the book. I really enjoyed Blaire's character and am definitely interested in reading the book in its entirety. The tension between Blaire and the man who opened his bar next door to her new bakery is palpable and I'm excited to see what developed between them.
This enemies-to-lovers romance book is too sweet to miss!

Many thanks to Forever Publishing and NetGalley for the advance preview.

Ughhhhhh. All I have to say is that this 4 chapter teaser has me wanting to 1) eat cupcakes and 2) preorder the copy. I am so excited to read another enemies to lovers trope; come on, who doesn’t like a Helena Hunting novel??

Blaire and Axes’ tension is felt right away and oh boy, I think it will get steamy soon enough!

Can’t wait to finish reading this! In the meantime-I’ll have to just dream about hunky Axe!

This seems interesting enough, but I'm not overly impressed. The main character seems to be quite privileged, and she's really irrationally pissed off by her neighbour. The way he's described is a bit overdone, too. However the setup in these first few chapters does seem interesting, with the two very different stores opening up next to each other, family issues, and a potential competition. I enjoyed the social media and business references and the cupcakes and drinks seem delicious. It's probably not for me but I think many will enjoy this one.

Blaire is opening a cupcake shop and Ronan is opening a bar next door. The first few chapters in the sampler set up a great base for this enemies to lovers story. I have had this book on preorder, Helena Hunting is an auto buy author for me, and now after reading the sample I am more excited than before. This has so much potential to be incredibly charming.

I think that the other external struggles that are explored in this book will be an enchanting addition to the romance and add some tension for Blaire as she examines her life and relationships. I adore the enemies to lovers trope so I am always up to read something in the genre.

The sample gave a great feel and I believe it will be a 4 or 5 star read for me.

This looks so cute and funny! I can't wait to read the full-length story when it comes out! I definitely need some cupcakes in the meantime!

This is just of the preview excerpt!

Game on!

Anything by Helena Hunting usually makes me laugh but naming a cupcake shop Buttercream and Booze is the best one.

Blaire Calloway has put everything she had into opening her new café/bakery with a partner but when Ronan Knight opened an axe throwing/bar on the same day giving her customers coupons for his bar, the battle was on!

This preview was super fun and delicious! I was definitely craving some cupcakes and lumberjerks by the end. Can't wait for the full publication!
