Is this you?

You just want a book that makes you smile.

Lately it feels like you have to screen every book before you read it. The cute cover turns out to be spicy, or there’s language on every other page. After the week you’ve had, you don’t want to read with one eye on the next chapter. You want to laugh, root for somebody, and close the book smiling.

This book is for you if…

You need a book that makes you laugh after a long day.

You love a baking show, or you’re the one who always brings the cake.

You want a love story without the pages you’d have to skip.

You love a grumpy hero who turns out to be one of the good guys.

You keep the books you love, and you want them to look pretty on the shelf.

You’re shopping for a friend who bakes, reads, or both.

Then you’re going to love Savannah and Rhett.
Chapter 1 begins

Meet Savannah.

“I hate mornings. I have always hated mornings with the passion of a thousand suns.”

“Like most kids, I assumed I’d grow up to be a ballerina or a famous singer. Sadly, I have no balance and can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Taylor Swift needn’t worry.”

Savannah is thirty. She frosts unicorn birthday cakes in a grocery store bakery at four in the morning while her boss, Big Thelma, naps in the office. She raised her little sister on her own, and she still dreams of a bakery of her own. Then a reality baking show comes along with a $200,000 prize.

Welcome to The Baking Games

Six weeks, a house full of cameras, and her old rival in the kitchen.

Savannah Greene never planned on being on a reality show. But with $200,000 on the line, The Baking Games feels like her best chance to help her little sister.

Then she walks in and sees Rhett Jennings, her smug, impossible rival from pastry school. Her ex is there too, and he seems set on wrecking every bake she makes.

When the producers push for more drama, Rhett comes up with a wild idea: a fake relationship to keep the cameras off their backs. Pretending should be easy. Until the feelings start to feel real.

From Rachel

Clean books with big hearts. That’s what I write.

If you’re tired of screening books, you’re in good company. Every book I write is Just Kisses, with no bad language, and made to leave you smiling. The Baking Games is my rom-com, with a heroine who smiles through everything and a hero who’s grumpy on the outside.

Why readers love it

All the fun, nothing to skip

Sunshine meets grump

Savannah smiles through everything. Rhett is sharp-edged and competitive. Watching him turn out to be the one who has her back is half the fun.

Clean means clean

There’s no bad language and no bedroom scenes. The romance is Just Kisses, and it ends happy. You can hand it to your mama or your daughter when you’re done.

Tonight could look like most nights.

The TV’s on, the phone keeps buzzing, and the book on your nightstand is one you keep putting down.
