This is an enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy with an enemies to lovers theme and a cozy mystery twist. Elle Brook is convinced that Zane Masters, the big-shot CEO of Got Cake is sabotaging her business and she is determined to prove it. Elle declines an offer from Zane to buy her bakery and after that some crates of dead fish were delivered to her bakery and the smell was bad for days. Then just before Elle is due to release something new Got Cake announces something suspiciously similar. As Zane is her number one suspect, Elle plots to get the proof that she’s needs and to do this she plans to get ‘really close’ to him. The only problem is that Zane is a bit of a known heartthrob and has a smouldering smile that can melt hearts, not Elle’s though or at least that is what she promises her friends when they warn her against her plan. Elle thinks she will be fine as the only way she can get hurt is if she lets her heart get involved and it’s not likely that she will fall in love with her enemy, will she. This is a sweet, heartwarming romance with likeable and relatable characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. There were some real laugh out loud moments as well as some drama and plenty of romance. I liked the added mystery element to the story which had me hooked.

This story is so sweet you might go into sugar shock. Elle is going about her life, or what she thinks is a life, when Zane moves in next door with his chain cake shop. Elle is sure that Zane is out to destroy her business as strange things start to happen. What if Zane isn’t the enemy? I am telling I laughed, I cried, and I am currently sitting on the edge of my seat to read the next book!

I enjoyed this friends to enemies story. This is a sweet romance-mystery story that kept me engaged and turning pages to the end. This is a well written story that had me laughing throughout the story. The characters are connectable and bring life to the story. They are written with a lot of heart and soul. The author’s use of details made the story realistic and fun to read. This is a story about Elle and Zane. She thinks that he is trying to sabotage her business. The only way she can prove it is to get close to him. Will she get more than she bargained for? What will fate have in store for these two? I really enjoyed these two characters. They truly made the story for me. I am happy I picked up this book and the laughs that come with it. I highly recommend this book.

I love cozy romantic stories and this one really delivered! It was as if a delicious cake with all the layers needed to satisfy a craving, but yet left you wanting more! This was my first read by the author and I am completely head over heels with her work! I spent my entire day reading this, no regrets here! It was a great way to fulfill my morning!
I am a past bakery owner so I always love stories that focus around a bakery. Throw in the two main characters Elle and Zane. Both truly different, but can they find common ground? Perhaps there is a attraction between one another but, both are so wrapped up in their own worlds they can not see it?
Elle owns a wonderful bakery that belonged to her mom. Having this bakery truly has a special place in Elle’s heart. You can tell as you get to know her character that keeping it is really everything to her. As Elle has this bakery.. well so does Zane, but he owns a bakery next door. He is on a different financial level in terms of Elle. He’s basically quite rich. And he is the type of guy if he wants something as in obtaining the next door bakery, you can damn well be sure he’s going to make sure he gets it .To put it mildly, Zane knows how to push Elle’s buttons. As stubborn as she is, she is not one to give in. Even if he may have very charming good looks as well as well as is good with his hands (in terms of baking of course) Perhaps zingers of an attraction can make a dessert so heavenly that it can melt the steel walls between these two people? But they are sworn enemies. How possibly can they over come their differences and realize what is front of them is maybe everything they ever needed?
Elle is a strong and determined person. She believes if she charms Zane with her sweet desserts she will have him wrapped around her finer. She believes matters of the heart are always easy to ignore and she can do this. As time goes on they both grow and change in different ways and we the readers learn new things about their characteristics. They both have a different personality that is so likable and lets face it, they both have that cute personality and their methods of how they go about one another has so much adorableness you cant shy away from wanting to read more to see how things go about!
They both did the unthinkable. Yup. They fell crazy in love with one another. Ells is facing some personal things more than meets the eye. Though she failed her original plan she found the one thing she may very well be unable to live without! But will love triumph overall? Is there wedding bells in this future and perhaps even a wedding cake? Or will this all end before it really even had a chance to put frosting on the cake?
I could not put this book down. Zane and Elle kept me reading and wanting more. I swear it was a good tasting cake. Perfect balance of sweetness but, not to sweet where I had to put it down. i was rooting for these two seriously destined to be together humans. Even if at times they didn’t see eye to eye, they were indeed the perfect recipe for one another.
Again really enjoyed this book and did not want to spare a moment till I finished reading it. Very happy I got to read this book and grow along with Elle and Zane!
Highly recommend. I am pretty sure you wont be able to put it down as I was. Most importantly this author did an amazing story and I truly enjoyed and was quite happy reading it! Wonderful read!

An enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy––with a cozy mystery twist! **Includes Laura’s Ultimate Milkshake recipe!
Elle Brook
I’m pretty sure heartthrob Zane Masters is sabotaging my business, and I’m going to prove it.
It’s no secret that the big-shot CEO of Got Cake? wants to buy my bakery but I declined his offer––even though it was presented to me on a notecard with a triple chocolate donut.
For the record, I did not eat his over-priced donut… I threw it in the trash.
Off the record––I totally ate it, and oh my heck, it was finger-licking delicious.
Just as I get ready to release something new, Got Cake? announces something suspiciously similar.
Not forgetting the time three crates of fish got delivered to my shop. Dead fish.
It took me DAYS to get rid of the stench.
And Zane is my number one suspect.
The only way I’m gonna find the proof I need to stop all this nonsense is to get close to him. Real close.
He’s a man’s man with a hunky smile and a smolder that can melt any heart, I know exactly what an alpha male like him wants in a woman.
My friends think I’m playing with fire. But I’ll do whatever it takes to unravel his dark secrets. And the only way I’ll get hurt is if I let my heart get involved. That’s not gonna happen.
Besides, there’s zero chance I’m gonna fall in love with my enemy.
Flirting with my Enemy is a cozy mystery romcom. Packed with swoon-worthy romance, heart-warming characters, laugh-out-loud humor, and an exciting mystery.
