Overall, I wanted to like this one more than I did. There were some good aspects to the story, as well as some aspects that were bland, and some aspects that weren’t to my tastes at all, which left me with an uneven read.

I have read several books by Alexis Hall that I have enjoyed and Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake caught my interest at first with Rosaline as the lead and centered around a baking competition. Love might not have looked like she thought it would, but with the right ingredients, Rosaline might find the perfect recipe for her own life. But then there’s also electrician, Harry, another contestant, who isn’t the sort of man that Rosaline is usually attracted to, and just the type of man her parents would not approve of.Īs the competition continues over several weeks, Rosaline learns a lot about standing up for herself and listening to her heart. Alain is the exact sort of man that Rosaline’s parents would approve of, as he’s educated and refined and spending time with Alain seems like great way to let off all the pent-up stress Rosaline is carrying around. Things get off to a rocky start for Rosaline on the way to the first week of filming, but one bright spot is co-contestant, Alain Pope. But Rosaline is now headed to a reality TV baking show with hopes of taking home the top prize. Now, with an eight-year-old and trying to make ends meet working in a stationery shop, Rosaline still has no clear direction for her life. Rosaline Palmer thought she was making all the right turns in life by going to medical school like her parents wanted, but an unexpected pregnancy altered Rosaline’s path.
