Book Review: "Battle Royal" by Lucy Parker

A rom-com with feuding bakers? Doesn’t Battle Royal take the cake? (I’m here all week, lol.)

Sylvie is an immensely talented baker with the flair for the creative. Her appearances on the popular baking competition “Operation Cake” made her a darling of the viewing public. Nearly everyone was a fan of her creations—except esteemed (and super-handsome) baker and judge, Dominic De Vere. And when one of Sylvie’s amazingly creative cakes went awry, he made sure she was voted her off the show.

A few years later, Sylvie is a successful baker. Could her business be better? Sure. So she reluctantly agrees to serve as a judge on the next round of the show, alongside Dominic. It should prove, umm, interesting.

But if that’s enough to get temperatures rising, when the engagement of Princess Rose is announced, everyone expects Dominic’s bakery to be selected for the wedding cake. His family has been baking for the Royals for years. No one expects that Sylvie wants in on this opportunity too, and her style is perfect for the avant-garde princess.

It's a battle of tradition vs. modern. And when there’s cake—and bragging rights—on the line, who will come out on top? Will the competition bring out the passion in both of them?

This was a fun, cute, and hunger-inducing rom-com. I’m a sucker for books with cooking shows in them and I love rom-coms, so…

Thanks to Avon Books for the complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review!!
