Notting Hill meets The Prince & Me in Icing on the Cake, the second standalone laugh-out-loud romance in Ann Marie Walker’s Wild Wedding series
Cassandra Miller doesn’t have time for men. She’s far too busy trying to open a cupcake shop with her silent partner and best friend, not to mention catering her brother’s wedding. And let’s face it, it’s not like Prince Charming is going to stroll into the bakery and sweep her off her feet.
Henry has been a prince his entire life but for one wild wedding he wants to be nothing more than an “Average Joe”, or in this instance, “Average Hank”. However, when a case of mistaken identity and a batch of burned cupcakes ends in a night of passion, Cassie and Hank must decide if theirs is a recipe for disaster or the makings of true romance.
Review
First of all, let me tell you that I not necessarily like books that have that insta love thing between the main characters. That said, the way the author writes Cassie and Hank's first encounter and subsequent relationship completely worked for me.
I loved Cassie from the get go, she's a breath of fresh air. She's hard working, sweet, and she has a certain naivete about her. Hank is in need of a normal life, a woman who sees him for who he is on the inside instead of his position in the world. There's no doubt that Cassie and Hank hit it off and they are what the other needs, they worked for me because they are two relatable characters (yes, even when he really belongs to a monarchy, he gives us a very human, very real side of him.)
It was a delight to see some of the characters from the first book interact with Cassie and Hank. The secondary characters infused a touch of humor to an all ready pretty perfect story, specially Olivia.
While I thoroughly enjoyed, the book, it left me wanting a bit more at the end. I was hoping that we would've seen more or the what happens after. I'm not giving many details away because despite my opinion, this is a book worth reading. Sweet, romantic, sexy and all around highly delectable, Icing on the Cake is one story you need to read.
