FONDANT FUMBLE is the latest installment to Jenn McKinlay’s Cupcake Bakery series and it’s definitely a fun one! If you’re a football fan, then I have no doubt that you’ll devour this book.
When two professional football players come to the bakery to learn how to bake, it brings a flock of fans and excitement along with it. Creating such an interesting event in a long-standing series like this one is a huge feat, but McKinlay did just a good job with it. I never thought I would see a football theme in a bakery mystery series, but this worked out so well.
That being said, this might be one of my favorite books in the series. The unique concept enlivened the already fun-loving series, making it fun and exciting. I cannot wait to see what other tricks McKinlay has up her sleeve for future books in the series.
Only Jenn McKinlay can find a way to mix football and baking together in one book! FONDANT FUMBLE is a massive touchdown, perfectly blending together humor, mystery and fun into one delicious treat!
The Fairy Tale Cupcakes crew helps two professional football players in knead when the athletes are suspected of murder and their dream of opening a bakery is crushed, from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay.
Professional football players Keogh Graham and Tyler Matthews want to open a Fairy Tale Cupcakes franchise. They’re spending the off-season in Scottsdale working in Mel’s bakery, learning about the business and how to bake show-stopping cupcakes. The popular athletes bring a boom of customers to the store as football fans flock to see the friends mixing batter and piping icing.
Everyone’s excited the athletes are pursuing their dream of owning a bakery—except for those who fear the players will ditch football for fondant and retire early from professional sports. The angry naysayers include their team owner and Keogh's sports agent, along with some very vocal fans.
When the owner of their team, the Arizona Scorpions, is found dead on the floor of their new bakery following an argument with Keogh, the pros become prime suspects. As the investigation heats up, Mel and the rest of the cupcake bakery crew must step up and prove their franchise owners are innocent before it’s game-over for the new bakers.
