Publisher Description
Sometimes, you get a second chance at love. Sometimes, you hook up with your ex and remember why you broke up in the first place.
Amanda Russo knows better than to give her failed marriage another try, but the brief fling reminds her there’s more to life than work and parenting. When the architect she hires to remodel her bakery turns out to be as charming as she is talented, Amanda finds herself ready to take a chance on new love. The only problem? Her ex-wife didn’t get the memo.
For Quinn Sullivan, the sting of divorce is still fresh. Getting set up by pretty much everyone she knows hasn’t inspired her to give love another shot. Meeting Amanda does. Sure, they’re working together, but that’s not a deal breaker. Amanda’s ex might be another story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rey (The Last Place You Look) returns with a tender, foodie romance about a pair of middle aged lesbians who find partners in each other and rediscover themselves along the way. The premises of Bake My Day, Amanda Russo's popular bakery in Kenota, N.Y., are in desperate need of an upgrade. And after Amanda misguidedly hooks up with her ex-wife after years of avoiding romantic entanglements, she realizes she needs a change just as much as her business. When Amanda hires hot butch architect Quinn Sullivan, she soon realizes Quinn might be the woman to revamp not just her caf but her life. Amanda and Quinn have both been burned before, but working together on the remodel sparks undeniable chemistry. As they fall in love, they reclaim lost parts of themselves, finding balance and confidence in their courtship. Rey's cute, occasionally steamy, romance reminds readers of the giddy intensity falling in love brings at any age, even as the characters negotiate the particular complexities of dating in midlife meeting the children, dealing with exes, and revealing emotional scars. This queer love story is as sweet and light as one of Bake My Day's famous cream puffs.
