Baking Me Crazy

de Karla Sorensen (2019)

Résumé : I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.

Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.

The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't. Because when we met, she didn't need true love. She needed a best friend. And that's what I've been to her... for five years.

But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend. If I can't get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.


J’ai lu ce livre en ARC. Je ne connaissais pas cette auteur avant, le principe des Smartypants Romance est une série de romance qui se passage dans l’univers créé par Penny Reid, j’ai beaucoup aimé sa façon d’écrire et je pense me pencher sur elle (quand j’aurais le temps xD)

Ça doit être aussi la 2e fois que je lis une romance avec l’un des héros en situation de handicap (ici l’héroïne est en fauteuil). Pas que je cherche ce critère dans mes choix de lecture, mais ça n’arrive pas souvent de tomber sur ces perso quand on sélectionne des livres à lire au hasard.

La romance est toute mimi, c’est du « friends to lovers », les héros se connaissent depuis plusieurs années, ils sont les meilleurs amis. mais Levi est fou amoureux de Joss depuis le tout premier jour et il n’a jamais rien dit. Il va donc devoir se bouger un peu s’il ne veut pas que Joss lui échappe ^^

Joss n’est pas hyper sociable, elle a toujours eu du mal à s’ouvrir aux autres et compte sur une mains ses amis proches, Levi en number one. Cependant, commencer un nouveau job à la pâtisserie (de Jennifer !) va l’aider à sortir de sa zone de confort et à vouloir des choses jusque là enfouies... et bizarrement la place de Levi nécessite une upgrade xD

J’ai couiné, et pas seulement parce qu’on voit Cletus xD c’est une très belle découverte, Levi et Joss sont mignons, le traitement du handicap de Joss ne tombe jamais dans le cliché. On sent que l’auteur s’est bien entourée pour que la description du quotidien de Joss soit proche d’une réalité. Je recommande vivement !

I read this book in ARC. I didn’t know this author before, the idea with Smartypants Romance is a series of romance that take place in the universe created by Penny Reid, I loved her writing and I think I will look at her books (when I have the time xD)

It‘s also be the second time that I read a romance with one of the heroes with disabilities (here the heroine is in wheelchair). Not that I seek this in my reading choices, but it doesn’t happen often to meet these characters when I select books to read at random.

The romance is very cute, it's "friends to lovers", the heroes have known each other for several years, they are best friends. but Levi is crazy about Joss since the very first day he met her and he never said anything. So he'll have to make a move a bit faster if he does not want Joss to escape ^^

Joss is not hyper sociable, she has always had trouble opening up to others and relies on close friends, and Levi is the number one. However, starting a new job at the bakery shop (Jennifer’s !) will help her get out of her comfort zone and wanting things that were previously buried... and strangely Levi's place in her life requires an upgrade xD

I swooned, and not only because we see Cletus xD this book is a great discovery, Levi and Joss are cute, the treatment of Joss’s disability never falls into a cliché. We feel that the author has done her researchs so that the description of Joss's daily life is close to a reality. I highly recommand this book !
