Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes--the more infuriating the "enemyship" at the beginning, the better! Having had my fair share of rude neighbors, the preview of Kiss My Cupcake made my blood pressure rise, and made me very interested to see how these two competing business owners will form a relationship by the end of the book. I am just hoping that we get to see some of Ronan's point of view woven in as well.

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever for the advance preview of this book!

This preview made me pre-order Kiss My Cupcake. The cover drew me in, but Helena's writing was the clincher. The characters seem great and I love the premise.

I loved reading this preview! Blaire is my kind of woman who I would be friends with. Not only is she funny, but she seems so REAL. This was a fun and fast read for me and I found myself wanted to read more! The writing is fun and Helena Hunting kept me laughing with the lingo. I was rooting for Blaire and her cupcakes the whole time!

Again, Helena hit it off with this one! I absolutely adored Ronan and Blaire's love story. It was such a sweet, romantic, and fun read. They couldn’t be more opposite but also couldn’t be more right for each other. They started off as business rivals turn into them working with each other to survive in the small business world. When planning all these collaborative events, they start to spend more time with each other and their true feelings start to seep through. And I love those moments they have!

I enjoyed this book so much. It was a great read and I definitely recommend it

If you’re into cute, funny and quick rom-com that have a feel good feeling, Blaire Calloway is a baker and finds herself in a rivalry with the business owner next door, Ronan but when a third business comes to threaten both their places, they decide to put their pettiness and fighting aside and learn to work together. I loved Ronan's broody attitude, and Blaire's bubbly personality mixed that fire so if you’re a fun of the sunshine and grumpy, you’ll enjoy it. It’s fun, witty, sweet. Definitely a great summer rom-com read!

Too bad it's only a preview. I would definitely love to read the entire book. I really enjoyed it. The characters are interesting, and I always enjoy lively banter. I would love to see how it ends.

This preview was fantastic! Filled with sassy, witty banter between neighboring store owners that was funny and entertaining. Didn’t want to stop reading. The constant war of trying to win the war of customers between them was delightfully cute and full of laugh out loud moments. Loved Blaire and Ronan’s interactions and cant wait to read this entire story!!

Well, they call them teasers for a reason! HH is a one-click author for me, so I love everything that she writes! Blaire and Ronan are epic!

Thank you NetGalley and Forever for an ARC of the preview for this book

I am in love with this book so far. So many of my favorite things, enemies/rivals to lovers, lumber sexual, and cupcakes. The banter and plot are already moving along pulling me into the story I was disappointed for it to end. Can't wait for the rest of the book!

This excerpt is just enough build up to determine that this is a book for me!

I really enjoyed Hunting's book.Meet Cute. I liked how this novel starts out with a different vibe, but the same wit and banter style. Hunting gives us give the right amount of detail/sharing and is onpoint with her descriptions.

I look.forwsrd to seeing how this story continues to unfold. Thank you Forever Pub for allowing me this advanced excerpt.

I love Helena Hunting’s Pucked, Shacking Up, and All In series, but her Forever titles have been hit or miss for me. After seeing trusted reviewers feel positively about this book, I thought a sample would be a great way to test the waters and help set my own expectations.
The formatting was difficult to read, but these chapters of Kiss My Cupcake were funny and engaging. They were flirting with a feeling of forced humor without actually crossing the line. I like an enemies to lovers story, and I love when work plays a ongoing role of importance in the book. I also am a sucker for food mentions. Blaire is a character I can really get behind, and Ronan seems larger than life in his hipster handsomeness. Both currently feel like caricatures of people, and I have faith Helena will flesh them out further as the story progresses. I do think I will check this one out, I hope there is heat and some of Helena’s zany humor!

The preview was interesting enough to make me curious to see how things play out between the two leads.

My feedback is based on the preview only.
Is it normal to crave for cupcakes after reading this? So I Googled where can I find Bourbon bacon cupcake with maple buttercream near my place. No luck but plenty of recipes online so maybe I should roll up my sleeve and bake some on the weekend.
Blaire refusing help from her family and her determination to follow her dream had me rooting for her to succeed in her business. You go, girl! The banter between Ronan and Blaire spice up their chemistry and I can't wait for them to fall for each other. Enemy turn lover trope is one of my favourite tropes as the couple know each other at their "meanest" state and they fall for the person they truly are. I am sure when Ronan and Blaire work together, they can fight off whatever threat thrown to them. But before that, I have a bigger question for Ronan. What's with your obsession with plaid?!
