The Great Christmas Cook Off

About the book...
It’s the festive showdown to end all festive showdowns …
“Queen of Chocolate” Beatrice Wodehouse, known for her decadent desserts, is ready to go head to head with her social media nemesis, clean lean baking machine Charlie Simmonds, in the Great Christmas Cook Off TV show.
Beatrice is fed up of Charlie’s sanctimonious attitude and is ready to show him that food is there to be enjoyed. Surely she’ll blow his keto, low sugar, low-carb mince pies out of the water with her chocolatey creations?
Except filming for the Cook Off turns out to be anything but sugar, spice and all things nice when the contestants realise there’s a festive saboteur in their midst – leading to melted ice cream, trifle mishaps and private stories leaked to the press.
As the countdown to the final commences, suspicions run high and sparks are bound to fly – and not just from the flaming Christmas puddings!
Part of the Spotlight series but it can be read as a standalone story.

If you have a sweet tooth, this one might do you in!
If you love Romantic Comedies, another checkmark in the plus boxes!
If you love a Contemporary Romance filled with festive cheer, friendly (mostly) competition, enemies-to-lovers trope-age, and a twisty plot you'll be hard fast to figure out before the characters do...this one is for you!
Most people will admit to some form of love for reality shows, and this one takes the cake...literally. We've got a competition between well-known bakers, each a king or queen in their own right, taking place over the holidays with someone potentially taking the sweetness out of their efforts! Yes, there might be a saboteur (or maybe not), and despite the best efforts of Beatrice and Charlie to despise each other fully (which, yeah, they are rather failing at!), any alliance they may have formed, any truce called in the spirit of the season, is about to be flambéed like last year's pudding. What can you do when the evidence of what might be unfolding seems to be staring you in the face? Or is it? I TOLD you this plot is slippery! Good thing the recipes made sound DELICIOUS, the tension between our leading characters to DELECTABLE, and the ending the perfect blend of SWEET and yet GOOD FOR YOU.
Don't think it can be done? Give it a read, and tell me what YOU think! Get your holiday reading on this "Black Friday" and snag a copy to go with those leftovers you're eyeing up!
