Review Battle Royal

 

Sylvie competed on Operation Cake. Now, four years later, she's returning to the show as a guest judge. She's hoping the show will grant her a boost at her bakery - even if she does have to deal with Judge and Baker Dominic De Vere.

His cakes are so vanilla and boring - as his her personality. His life could use a lot more sparkles and glitter. 

When a royal engagement is announced, both bakers compete for the change to bake the royal cake. The royal, Princess Rose, isn't your typical princess. She's torn between the tradition cake and a cake that reflects her personality. As both bakers are judges and competing for the royal honors, they're spending more and more time together.

Could the become something more than enemies?

My Thoughts: There sadly is no tagline for this book, but it should be something along the lines of A Great British Baking Show type romance between two judges in an enemies to lovers story mixed with a Royal Wedding. I loved this book for so many reasons: the baking, the bakeries, enemies to lovers, Dominic's relationship with his sister, the baking show, the royals, the lost secret romance, and the banter. 

And it's the first in a new series. I can't wait for the next one!
