&ldquo,Scrumptiously entertaining . . . Fans of a certain popular British baking show will be giddy with delight.&rdquo,&mdash,Booklist , When two women meet as judge and contestant on the set of a TV baking competition, they must decide what they&rsquo,re willing to risk for the ultimate prize in this wholesome and delectable debut. Food is their love language, but can they follow a recipe for romance? Tori Moore, high school chemistry teacher, avid home baker, and soon-to-be empty nester, auditions for the American Bake-o-Rama TV competition at the urging of her twin teenagers. The prize money could allow her to finally open her own bakery, but plagued by self-doubt after a messy divorce, it&rsquo,s not only money standing between Tori and her dreams. , Once on set in Sonoma wine country, Tori catches the eye of Kendra Campbell, the notoriously ruthless celebrity chef and Bake-o-Rama judge. This show is Kendra&rsquo,s ticket to financial security, but she&rsquo,s been told to soften her approach for viewers seeking feel-good entertainment&mdash,quite the task after years of fighting for space in a male-dominated industry. , Tori and Kendra find it increasingly hard to keep their distance through six slow-burn weeks of cooking challenges and kitchen disasters. For both, the best prize of all might just be love.
