Winning is her opportunity to prove to her family, her former boss, and most importantly herself, she can make it in the culinary world. As a pastry chef on the come up, when she arrives in Scotland, she has one goal in mind: win the Holiday Baking Challenge. There is only one bed. Kiskeya Burgos left the tropical beaches of the Dominican Republic with a lot to prove. This was the PERFECT read around Christmas even though the holidays aren’t the main focal point, it gave me all the warm holiday feels.One is grumpy. I haven’t read very many F/F romance books but after this one I’m on a mission to gather up some recommendations. I LOVED the inclusion of ingredients & the colorful descriptions of all their baking creations. They’re both Dominican who’ve had different cultural experiences and baking is the one thing that brings them together. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun with any romance I’ve read! We get two polar opposites who have to share a hotel room & come to an agreement on the recipes/decor/presentation for the challenges. Kiskeya & Sully are paired up which makes for some SUPER (level 10 😉) steamy chemistry that will have you wanting release between these two. She knows she makes Kiskeya uncomfortable but she really likes her & isn’t shy about it.įor the Holiday Baking Challenge contestants are paired up such that there’s one professional baker and one home baker per team.

When Sully sees Kiskeya there’s instant sexual attraction and so begins to flirt with Kiskeya in what has to be the cutest & most fun way I’ve ever seen on the page. Sully is super friendly, affectionate, and VERY attractive. Sully Morales is the complete opposite of Kiskeya, she’s an extrovert who is proud of her Dominican roots.

One of the key rules is to NOT mingle in any romantic sense but all of that changes when Sully Morales walks into her life…

She has a lot to prove back home and that means she has a plan and a set of rules she’s made for herself to keep her sharp and on track. Kiskeya is highly driven & focused with one goal in mind and that is winning. We meet Kiskeya Burgos as she arrives in Scotland straight from the Dominican Republic as a contestant in a televised Holiday Baking Challenge. I’m SO happy I did! this was one of my December reads & a easy 5 stars at that… I’ll preface my review by mentioning that this novella was my first Kindle pre-order EVER! I’ve never been moved to click on that button until I saw this F/F LATINX Romance show up on my Twitter timeline cause it’s just not that common.
