Blurb
I’m Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family’s curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense.
No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.
Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.
The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She’s the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I’ve ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can’t.
Because when we met, she didn’t need true love. She needed a best friend. And that’s what I’ve been to her… for five years.
But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend.
If I can’t get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.
‘Baking Me Crazy’ is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Donner Bakery series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

My Thoughts <3
| I would like to note a few things about this before I go into my review for this book, but to hold of on anticipation, I loved everything about Baking Me Crazy! 1) This is the first book in the Smartypants Romance series as WELL as the first in the Donner Bakery series. Why is this important to you? THIS IS SET IN Penny Reid’s WINSTON BROTHERS WORLD!!! Cletus and Jennifer are BACK and written by the amazing Karla Sorensen, who I already loved, but add in the Green Valley world and I am freaking smitten with not only this series, but this book! 2) Levi freaking Buchanan is the swooniest of all swoony main men that I have read in a WHILE. This guy is freaking solid, but boy can he go alpha when he wants to. *Fan Face* Even better, he isn’t perfect and I LOVE that Karla Sorensen shows that in a few places in the book to, he is just a real man that has been in love with his best friend for the past 5 years. 3) Joss, oh beautiful and strong Joss, was the BEST type of leading lady that I have read. This chick is REAL. She is snarky, sassy, sassy and hates the world just the right amount. She has a reason to, which you have to read to find out about. *Insert evil laugh* But for real, I absolutely loved her character and how much I felt that I could relate to her. Ok, so those are my notes, but I think you are getting that I absolutely adored everything about Baking Me Crazy and I also have to admit I hated when it came to an end, more please?!! This is not your average Friends-to-Lovers romance, there is so much emotion and depth, that you cannot help but get swept up in the story and completely immersed in their world. All in all, do I recommend this book? Abso-freaking-lutely! I think you would be crazy to pass on this amazing book written by a pretty freaking awesome author! I received an advanced copy of the book to voluntarily read and review the book honestly. I would like to thank Karla Sorensen, Smartypants Romance, and Social Butterfly PR for allowing me the chance to do so! |
Author Bio
Karla Sorensen has been an avid reader her entire life, preferring stories with a happily-ever-after over just about any other kind. And considering she has an entire line item in her budget for books, she realized it might just be cheaper to write her own stories. It doesn’t take much to keep her happy…a book, a really big glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of complete silence every day. She still keeps her toes in the world of health care marketing, where she made her living pre-babies. Now she stays home, writing and mommy-ing full time (this translates to almost every day being a ‘pajama day’ at the Sorensen household…don’t judge). She lives in West Michigan with her husband, two exceptionally adorable sons and big, shaggy rescue dog.
