Nailed It meets You’ve Got Mail in Batch of Love
A small-town baker with dreams of moving out of the mall’s food court and opening her own brick-and-mortar bakery enters a baking competition for a chance to win $25,000. But instead of winning the grand prize, she finds herself in the middle of her ex’s plan to acquire her business for a big box retailer.
Two years ago, Ginger opened a bakery, Ginger’s Goodies, to honor a promise she made to her late mother. Ready to take her business to the next level, Ginger enters a baking competition hosted by big box retailer, Decadent Dough. What she doesn't count on is running into her high school ex, Brock Pearson, who works for the company.
Instead of joining his father’s firm, The Pearson Group, Brock Pearson was eager to prove he could be successful outside of his father’s shadow and joined the legal team at Decadent Dough thirteen years ago. When his mentor retires, he throws his hat in the ring to become his successor. The job is his if he can find potential acquisitions, one of which is Ginger's Goodies.
For Ginger, joining Decadent Dough is a hard NO.
However, Brock will not back down easily because now he wants to win her heart again.
And just when Brock and Ginger were at the precipice of sealing the deal of love....
Brock's boss learns Ginger is the daughter of his college rival. Now, he will stop at nothing to destroy her business. To make matters worse, he convinced Ginger that Brock is part of his scheme. To prove his innocence, Brock may lose his shot at the promotion he's coveted and the career he's worked so hard for.
Ginger and Brock's careers and hearts hang in the balance. Which is more important than the other?

About the Author
Natasha D. Frazier fell in love with love around the age of twelve because of artists like Babyface, Boys II Men, Whitney Houston, and New Edition. Around sixteen when her mother purchased a romance novel and left it lying around the house untouched, Natasha read it and a spark for the written word had been ignited.
Natasha believes that writing is one of her purposes and contributions to the world. She feels accomplished when she can get a few words written and like blah when life gets in the way. Her hope is that at the end of every novel, readers will feel like they’ve been wrapped in a cozy blanket with a mug of their favorite coffee/tea/warm drink.
When she isn’t reading or writing, she is likely watching movies with her family. Natasha resides in Richmond, TX with her husband, Eddie Frazier, Jr. and their three children, Eden, Ethan, and Emilyn. Her greatest joy and commitment is to her family who she hopes to inspire above all else. One of her many mottos in life is: Faith removes limitations. Natasha and her family attend Parkway Fellowship in Richmond, TX, where she volunteers as a small group leader for elementary students. Natasha is also a member of the Houston Area Alumni Chapter of Jackson State University and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

My Thoughts:
This was a fun and swoony story by a new to me author that happens to include a bakery. Not just any bakery, but one that specializes in the type of deserts I want- keto and gluten free. All the descriptions of the cakes and sweets had me craving something sweet so much.
I really liked this story of a second chance love story that does have some past issues and present drama to work through. Two loves who even after twenty years have not met anyone else and think about the one that got away. That is Brock and Ginger's story, and it was the best ingredient for this romance.
When they meet up again, mostly accidentally, the sparks come back to life. However, both of their livelihoods and businesses are now at stake, instead of just their hearts. I liked that Brock was so patient, longsuffering, and loving towards Ginger. In fact, he treaded very carefully where her heart was concerned.
I also understood the hurt and betrayal Ginger felt, from the past and present. Will she be brave enough to let go and take a chance on a second time with Brock? Read the book to find out, the ending was icing on the cake.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
