At 23, Pippa, the owner of Wake & Bake Cafe, finds herself at odds with her new local neighbor, Camden Hunter. Hailing from New York, Camden, the owner of an art gallery next to Pippa's bakery, is an arrogant, self-absorbed billionaire who seems out of place in the small town.
The story takes an unexpected turn when Camden urgently needs Pippa to cater his event. In exchange for her services, Pippa proposes a deal: Camden must spend a day with her, immersing himself in the local culture and experiencing the town's beauty and talent.
Tensions run high between them, but as they spend more time together, they discover a different side of each other. The initial animosity gives way to a growing connection, making them question how long they can resist the inevitable pull of fate.
The banter between Pippa and Camden is a highlight of the book, with their interactions revealing their similarities and compatibility. Despite Camden's initial arrogance, Pippa brings out a sweet and genuine side that he reserves only for her.
The narrative delves into Camden's imperfect childhood, portraying him not just as an arrogant billionaire but as a person with vulnerabilities and a need for love. Pippa becomes the catalyst for him to open up and embrace love.
The romance is sweet, complemented by the unexpected spice brought by Camden's character, particularly his "filthiest mouth" that adds an element of passion to the story. The book's steamy moments, such as the memorable bakery scene, contribute to its allure.
Camden's initial disdain for the small town evolves as he discovers love through Pippa. The story beautifully portrays Pippa's role in helping Camden realize the ease of love and the importance of genuine connections.
The epilogue serves as a satisfying conclusion, wrapping up the story with a touch of brilliance. If you haven't read the series yet, I highly recommend picking it up for an engaging and delightful experience.
