Kiss My Cupcake is definitely sweet and I’m always here for an enemies to lovers romance, but I was a little underwhelmed by this one. The characters weren’t very memorable and with their back stories and families, it felt a little like the author was grasping for ways to make them interesting. Some of those aspects didn’t really work for me, along with the fact that there was never really any real conflict as their relationship progressed. That said, I still liked it overall.

A sweet and humourous romantic story guaranteed to fall in love with the characters.
Blaire, the only daughter to a renowned restaurant owner but totally not interested in family business. After coming back from Paris, she was sure she wanted her own cocktail and cupcake café. And with her best friend, Daphne by her side, her dream was just a week away from it's grand opening. But with the hot lumberjack having an axe-throwing enclosure right next door at his own Knight Pub, Blaire now not only has a competition but also an untold chemistry that she highly denies.
How do you think Blaire will manage through all these for her grand opening? Besides, when an even bigger opportunity comes with both having to work together how will they manage?

Overall, I would say this book is as sweet as any cupcake can ever be. From page one, you'll be hooked on to the book. Really looking forward for the entire book.

Does it get any sweeter than this?

WHAT an adorable fun premise to a romance, as two neighboring business owners are clearly headed for an amazing enemies to lovers trope that I am totally here for.

Serve up Ronan's studly plaids and a side of Blaire's sass, with a cupcake for dessert & this story will have the perfect characters you'll want to sink your teeth into.

Great excerpt, really looking forward to reading the book even more now!

I'm a HUGE fan of Helena Hunting and her writing, so it's no surprise that I was completely drawn into Kiss My Cupcake from the first chapter. I love these preview chapters, but they always end much too soon. Off to read the full novel now!

A perfect enemies to lovers' romance. Funny, cute and full of chemistry.
Blaire has just opened her cupcake ‘bar’, which has always been her dream, but the bar next door also opened on the same day and promises to put his business at risk. The owner of the Bar is unbearable and frustratingly beautiful and does not miss an opportunity to play a trick on her. The two will compete in the competition for the best bar in the city and there will be tons of fights between them, and unexpectedly they will have to unite to bankrupt and then you know the sparks of the fights will turn into something more and together and they will dominate the city's bar scene.

Good start to the book. I will have to order it. I thought this was the actual book to read not just some pages

What do you get when you mix cupcakes, booze, beautiful retro dresses, a determined hard-working woman, a handsome fun-loving man, a loveable grandpa, and a bar with a lot of history?? A very sweet story, pun intended.

Blaire is a delight and her dedication to make her cupcakery a success is admired. Ronan has a heart of gold and is so much fun! Together they are one of my favorite romantic duos.

The story is an adventure in running your own business, dealing with a crazy family, and learning to compromise and work together to move ahead. The witty banter added to the playful atmosphere and the steamy parts were just right.

This was the perfect read to take on our camping trip and I loved every minute of it. And now I need a cupcake...

Thank you to Forever Pub and Net Galley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

In this 4 chapter preview, we see interesting mash-up with two very different personalities. It is just POV from Blair so Ronnan is a bit of mystery. I hope that the book continues in good humor and steamy scenes it picked my interest.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

Diving right in with fast dialogue and playfulness, Kiss My Cupcake hit my palate sweet and light in true classic RomCom fashion. The metaphors felt a bit forced and kept pulling me out of the story, but I recognize this heavier hand with play-on-words and puns from her book Pucked, so it's just a stylistic preference of Ms. Hunting's that's not my favorite yet nothing subjectively bad. I'm curious how the rest of the story goes with these two next-door enemies and their business ventures. Thanks to Forever & NetGalley for the Read Now sample!

I only received the preview of Helena Huntings, Kiss my Cupcake from NetGalley, but from only they few chapters given to me you are almost instantly thrown into a heated battle between two people throwing grand openings for their new Cupcake/Cocktail Cafe and a Pub where you can enjoy a beer and some pub food while throwing the odd axe. What about that doesn't peak your interest? I can tell this book will be a book that everyones reading and passing around. It has witty humor and a hot lumberjack pub owner with tattooes, glasses and flannel plaid button ups. Need I say more? A must buy! Helena Hunting has me hooked.

This preview of Kiss My Cupcake left me in the mood for cupcakes, cocktails and the rest of this story. Will Blaire's Buttercream and Booze cupcake and cocktail cafe or Lumberjerk's axe throwing pub be featured on Food and Drinks channel? I can't wait to find out.

This is for the preview of the first four chapters.
Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes. I feel like the more they start out hating each other, the harder they will fall and man did they hate each other. 😂 It’s made me very interested to see how these two will form a relationship by the end of the book because you know it’s going to be a hilarious fun ride.
