Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake

by Alexis Hall

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This book captured all the thill and excitement of the big tv bake off competition along with that of new love!

Rosaline has been chosen to be one of the 10 finalist in the British tv sensation, Bake Expectations. The winnings and subsequent opportunities that would result would be her ticket to turn her and her daughters life around.

On the way up to the first weekend of filming Rosalines unexpectedly adventurous travels creates a fun meet cute with one of the other contestants, Aiain. He is exactly the type of successful man her parents would want her to be with, and after she has disappointed them in so many other life choices, like dropping out of med school and keeping her baby at the age of 19, this is somewhere she can make them proud…

Then another contestant, the shy and handsome electrician Harry starts catching her attention. He doesn’t have the same background as her, but she starts to change her opinion of him as he continues to swoop in when needed to her rescue.

Soon Rosaline has two guys on the hook when what she really needs is to focus on her bakes and the competition. Can she have it all? Win the competition, find the right partner and finally make her parents around of her?

This was a fun read and I loved seeing Rosaline grow as the competition moves on. She comes into her own and really starts to take responsibility and ownership for her choices and finds a place where she can be happy with what she has accomplished.

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall is scheduled to release May 18th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
