About this ebook

A Portland baker hopes to be more than a rebound when his dream guy is suddenly single in this gay romance novella by the author of Served Hot.

From its famous coffee to the mouthwatering fare at its cafés, restaurants, and bakeries, Portland, Oregon, has a lot to whet the appetite, including the hard-working men who serve it all up—hot, fresh, and ready to go—with no reservations . . .

Vic Degrassi is a baker on the rise, and it's all thanks to his rare ability to make—and keep—his New Year's resolutions. Whether it's losing weight, giving up smoking, or graduating from culinary school, Vic goes after what he wants—and gets it. This year? He wants Robin Dawson, the sweet-hearted hottie who volunteers with him at the local homeless shelter. When he learns that Robin is suddenly single after being unceremoniously dumped, Vic is more than happy to offer a shoulder to cry on—or at least a fresh-baked pastry to bite into. But it's been a long time since Vic's gone on a date, and he's nervous about risking his friendship with Robin. So when their flirtation turns into a steamy night together, Vic and Robin have to figure out if they're friends with benefits or lovers in the making, and if Robin is ready for something more than just a rebound. There's only one way to find out: turn up the heat . . .

Baked Fresh is an incredibly sweet, sexy story of two men whose damage resides in their minds. They take some flirting, turn it into a fling, and then let their hearts turn it into something so much more. Neither fits the kind of stereotypes you normally find in romance novels, making them seem all the more real, their relationship entirely true. It’s impossible not to feel for both of them and then start mentally cheering when they finally take a chance on each other. If you love the M/M genre or are even considering giving it a shot, this is the series to grab. ***FicCentral received this book from Tasty Book Tours for free in exchange for an honest review.

Now, actually the person listed above is my grandson, and he let me use his tablet. It was a bit much, way to descriptive and very inappropriate for anyone to read. Their was no plot, and they basically gilt tripped each other the whole time.

These may be Novela size reads, but they pack a wallop... They are full of all of the emotional feels you could want on a book...
