About the book:
A spirited bakery shop owner.
A cupcake-baking pro ball player.
A game-winning play to find love ever after.
SERENITY LEWIS has a serious problem. After several successful years, her trendy French Quarter bakery is failing—no thanks to a national chain that’s luring patrons by way of lower prices and ease of parking. She’ll do anything to keep her bakery alive. Or so she thinks ...
Philanthropic defensive end, OWEN WALKER is one concussion away from a career-ending injury. With headaches that sideline the blue chip player, he just might need to consider life off the gridiron. But working at a bakery during off season? That wasn’t the side hustle he had in mind. But if it’ll help the beautiful girl he knew in college, he’s all in.
Owen’s baking prowess and presence is a PR magnet, but it stirs Serenity’s desire for the only guy she ever considered letting into her heart.
Too bad she can’t give Owen what he wants most. Working alongside Serenity emboldens Owen to consider retirement faster than he can crack an egg in his palm. And accounting records prove the two make a winning team.
But when Serenity reveals her secret, will it send Owen running? Will the uncertain outcome of Owen’s head injuries be a justified reason to reject him first? Or will they huddle together and let love win the day?

My review:
This was a sweet love story, pun intended! I enjoyed the banter and cupcake-making but felt for Serenity as she tried to protect her heart from a guy who'd already rejected her once and who she didn't want to allow close again. I loved that Owen was a redeemed rogue, trying to treat women right and also loving to bake and competing for best cupcake against Serenity. I was frustrated about his stubbornness to keep playing football no matter the cost and also frustrated that Serenity didn't tell him the truth about something incredibly important. They both had faith in God and were tested in the story to do God's will, even though it hurt. There was also a good salvation message given. I did feel the story was a bit slow and a bit wordy. Overall, the romance was great and there was a good message! I'd recommend it.
