York Winter and his packmates are attacked by a rivaling werewolf pack at a lumberyard. Injured and exhausted, York runs into a part of town he's not familiar with, and when the enemy is closing in, he takes his chances and escapes into a bear-owned bakery. Torbjorn Holt doesn't do people, and he doesn't do wolves no matter what the pull in his heart is trying to tell him. He's learned his lesson and will not have wolves in the bakery, and he'll definitely not mate one. Luckily, York isn't too badly injured, so Torbjorn doesn't feel bad about kicking him out into the rain. York can't believe what's happening. He's finally found his mate, but Torbjorn refuses to let him stay. Torbjorn will never trust a wolf again, and if York doesn't leave soon, he'll knock him out with a rolling pin and dump him in the alley. York has to make Torbjorn understand he means him no harm, but how will he do that when Torbjorn refuses to talk to him?… (meer)

Lovely characters, but the story is disappointingly short and hasty. Almost a botch in a series that I had been enjoying a lot. ( )

The Cake Shop is the story of York Winter, a wolf shifter, and Torbjorn Holt, a bear shifter. This is told in third person through both York and Torbjorn’s povs.



I’ve read and enjoyed many of this author’s books. She has a vivid imagination and can come up with some cute, quirky short and novella length stories. So, I was looking forward to reading this one. I have to say though, this book did not live up to her usual abilities. The plot felt rushed, the grammar was off, and it read like more of a prologue to a longer series, which I think would probably be a good idea. I mean it has the crisis of York’s small pack being attack by a rival, merciless wolf pack. It also has unfinished business of the cruelty Torbjorn suffered as a young shifter. What if what Torbjorn experienced with the cruel wolves when he was young somehow was connected to the wolf pack that is after York and his pack? It would be a great way for York to avenge Torbjorn and deal with that renegade pack. Of course, the follow-up book, if there was a follow-up story would have to be longer, more fleshed out. But I would totally read it.

The blurb does a good job of describing the plot so I won’t go into it again. I liked the way the author wrote Torbjorn’s fear and hesitancy at having York, a wolf, in his shop. Sadly, because of the short length of the story, we didn’t get a smooth transition of Torbjorn’s fear to his acceptance, and of York as his mate. It was just too rushed. I like both of the MCs; I just wish their storyline was longer and smoother.

This is a cute, fast read. However, I think it was meant to be more novella length because York and Torbjorn’s relationship was rushed. The editing and betaing also needs improvement. I liked the story, but it falls short of what this author is capable of writing. I give The Cake Shop, 3 Stars.



I received an advance review copy from the author through BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ( )
