Romance

Waking up in a hotel with a strange hottie isn't what Lara Cavallo had planned. With her ultimate goal of making her new bakery business a success so she can drop the alimony from her rotten ex-husband, this takes a little detour. The smoking hot guy with the six pack abs has his own little business running an exotic male dancer show....and boy can they strip and bump and grind! Gage Tomlinson isn't just about being a hunk but has his carpentry business on the side helping to support his sister Missy and her son Connor who requires expensive surgeries and medical care after being hit by a car. Slipping out of the hotel after waking from her drunken stupor, Lara hasn't the foggiest thought of ever seeing hottie again but dreams of the lost monkey sex.

Lara and her buff cowboy seem to cross paths pretty frequently with the parties they are both hired to serve at leaving her with promises of sensual hot lap dances from Mr. Sexy. Neither have any plans on striking up a relationship even as they both know something is different this time. Passing out before sampling the hunk the first time, Lara finally has her sample of what a real man can do for her. And boy does Gage like her cupcakes! Lara is soon finding out that not all hot & sexy guys are irresponsible jerks like her ex. Trusting is an issue for Lara and commitment is also an issue for Gage. Settling for just a good time and a chance to gain self -confidence again gets harder and harder for Lara as she longs for the time she spends with Gage like the air she breathes. Gage is feeling the same but needs a little nudge to see what really counts.

I so enjoyed this cute quirky and sexy story of two people gaining the confidence to love again and finding that one person that fits like a glove. They are so in tune, emotionally and enjoy steaming sex too. Judi Fennell has a way with words that brings out the most in her characters. Her tales are always extremely amusing keeping the funny bone happy.

I like a good sexy hunk invading every girl's dream. Grab this one up fast and it's guaranteed to whip you into an arousing and fun read. I really love this author's style of writing. BEEFCAKE AND CUPCAKES do not miss!

SUMMARY

Sugar is sweet, but so is revenge All Lara Cavallo wants to do is make her bakery business, Cavallo's Cups & Cakes, a success, and be able to stop accepting alimony from her rotten, cheating ex-husband. But first she needs to find her clothes and escape the strange hotel room she wakes up in before she embarrasses herself any further in front the owner of that gorgeous naked keister she spots through the bathroom door. She needs to keep her mind on her cupcakes. She doesn't have time for beefcake, no matter how enticing. Cupcakes are sweet, and so is Lara… All Gage Tomlinson wants is to find a way to help his single-mom sister pay the hospital bills for his six-year-old nephew, badly injured in a hit and run accident. Working construction during the day and as the owner of the exotic male dance troupe BeefCake, Inc. by night doesn't leave much time for indulgence. Too bad the sweetest thing he's seen in ages passes out on him and then takes off before he even gets a nibble. He's got a sweet tooth, and only Lara's "cupcakes" will satisfy him. But when cupcake finally meets beefcake, it's hot enough to melt the buttercream right off the cake. Ingredients: Lara Cavallo, a baker who’s just starting out after a divorce, Gage Tomlinson, a stripper who’s been around the block and needs money for his nephew’s surgery, Cara and Bryan, two best friends who mean well, And Jeff, the ex husband who doesn’t. Mix them all together at the social event of the season and you get one sexy batch of dancing "cupcakes"!
