A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…
In the heart of Adenashire, where elfish
enchantments and dwarven delights rule, Arleta Starstone, a human confectionist
works twice as hard perfecting her unique blend of baking and apothecary herbs.
So when an orc neighbor secretly enters her
creations into the prestigious Elven Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma.
Being magicless, her participation in the
competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove
her talent and establish her culinary reputation, this human will need more
than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.
While competing, she'll set off on a journey of
mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships and romance,
while questioning whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize.
I wanted to love this book as I loved the idea and
the writing style. I couldn’t get passed how whiney FMC was. Everyone is
boosting her up and she just tears herself down. She never gets better, and it
frustrated me so much. I liked the writing style so much I will check out book
2 to see if the characters are better.
Book 1 Adenashire
