My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, lighthearted romantic comedy, which kept me happily turning the pages. Set in the old town of Cupid’s Cove, where “Love is Everything”, the author really made the setting come alive, making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline focuses on the town’s mayors daughter Lara and new comer Graham. Graham is a marketing specialist who’s opening his own bakery alongside his newly developed dating app, which matches couples through their taste buds. However, Lara works for the competition, her mother’s bakery. Can the couple put their differences aside and take the ‘cookie match challenge’, and maybe find true love together. I loved the main characters, Graham and Lara were likeable and relatable, and their chemistry came across strongly in the narrative. I was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA, this is an enjoyable and engaging heartwarming read.

My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match: Welcome to Cupid’s Cove by C.A. King

This isn’t my first read by the author. It certainly won’t be my last either. My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match is a fantastic read.

Lara is the Mayor’s daughter and works at the local bakery in town. She’s upset when she learns that her father is opening up another coffee shop. The owner is doing cookies as well as launching their own app. The quote I chose for Lara is: “I don’t know. I guess you’ll just have to find a way on your own.”

Graham is new to Cupid’s Cove and is opening a coffee shop. He’s trying to get out of towners to come in and try it. He doesn’t want to compete or try to steal the other bakery’s customers. The quote I chose for Graham is: “Fair enough. I happen to have a batch of brownies already whipped up. We’ll meet at your place later. Oh, and you can have top or bottom. I don’t mind either way.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

What a sweet romantic story this was from start to finish. The main characters had such a great connection between them and I found myself completely pulled in by their story. The book had a fun and entertaining feel to it. I really found myself enjoying everything about it.
What I loved the most about this book is the fact that it is so different to anything I am used to by this author. It was fresh and interesting and I enjoyed every part of it. This is a great all round story I would recommend to anyone.

This book was such a cute read! This is not the first book I’ve read from this author but it was just as good!

Lara loves her role running the bakery in her small town. What will happen when a new bakery threatens her place in town? Graham needs out of the big city. His bakery is much more than a bakery though. It’s a bakery with a side of love. Who can compete with that? Will Graham and Lara be able to co-exist in this small town romance?

Lara is so sassy and I couldn’t get enough of her banter with Graham. I also really enjoyed seeing Graham leave a job that made him unhappy to follow his dream with the bakery. It was refreshing to see that kind of vulnerability. I definitely enjoyed this book!

This is a lovely romance story. It is really well written and the author does an amazing job of bringing the story and the romance to life. Right down to the name of the place Cupid’s Cove. The characters are well written and really likeable. I love Lara’s character. For a young woman she is very determined and knows what she wants in life. I also love that at the end of every chapter is a recipe for something sweet and tasty really bringing the bakery theme and sweet treats to life.

After a failed relationship Lara swears off men and romance and decides to focus all her attention on the family bakery. Things are going good until her father decides to allow another bakery to be open. Feeling betrayed by her dad Lara has a instant dislike for the new place and owner and as the owners plans become more realised she thinks it is all a publicity stunt. I mean who can find love by eating cookies?

Graham has given up everything in his life for this one chance to make his business successful. He thinks he has a winning combination. A bakery selling mouthwatering cookies and a dating app that allows people to find love. What he doesn’t expect is to find love with the sassy daughter of the Mayor who wants to see him as a enemy.

This story has it all to keep the reader entertained and wanting to know what happens next. Will their cookies be a match? But as with most romances it isn’t straight forward, with town gossip, the local radio station and everyone wanting a bit of this budding romance can Lara and Graham make it work?

Lara is happy running the local bakery in a small town, so when she discovers a new bakery opening but it’s not just a bakery, they will also have a side line on dating, through there website the more you buy the more you are a step closer to your true love. Can Lara survive this new business muscling in on her territory?

Graham has had enough of the big city job and stress, quitting his job as a marketing specialist he decides to set up his own business and where better to set up a dating app and bakery than Cupid Cove, the town itself will promote his new venture, but there is one thing in his way, Lara who already owns a bakery in the town and just happens to be the mayor’s daughter. Can he survive the competition and the back lash?

This story was full romance and just an all-round feel-good story. I loved the character of Lara who was sassy and a strong female character who worked so well with the banter and sparks which flew off the page between these two characters. The add element of the wonderful dialogue had this story jumping off the page, with the vulnerability of Graham leaving his secure job to follow his passion was lovely to read and the way the sparks fly between him and Lara it was a good to read.

I have read many books by this author and this book does not disappoint, can wait for the next book.

This book was super sweet, and easy to read. Cupid’s Cove is a quaint little town that celebrates Valentine’s Day to the fullest extent possible. While this story is a shorter story it still packs a lot of fun, love, drama, and of course fantastic characters. The author has even thrown in a recipes in between the pages and it really just gives this book its unique edge. While Lara isn’t happy about the new bakery that’s opening she can’t ignore the chemistry between her and Graham. But will they be able to come to an agreement on their businesses or will they each want to be the best bakery in town regardless of how they feel about the other? You’ll have to read this amazing story to find out for yourself.

It was cute! It was sweet! I really liked it! Those are just things I feel best describe My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match. A sweet romance with a baking twist.
Cookie Match is the next best bakery in town, why you may ask? Well the premise the author introduces is that Graham is tired of “big city corporate America” and is ready to follow his dreams. Of course which is baking, but what if that’s tweaked to coincide with a dating app. Now that’s unique and sure to sell. The app matches people based on their Cookie Match Bakery orders. With it strategically located in Cupid’s Cove, it has success written all over it.
Well not if Lara has anything to say about that. Lara, the mayor’s daughter is outraged and a little self righteous, can’t believe her dad would let this guy storm into town and become the family bakery’s competition. Determined to figure out a way to fight the competition, Lara ends up drawn to Cookie Match Bakery and it’s owner Graham. Lara is barely an adult and one can tell based on how the author wrote her character. Graham 10 years her senior has experienced life and this bakery is his ultimate goal.
Do sparks fly?
Does age become an issue?
If you want a cute romance come check it out, because it’s exactly that!

Lara runs the bakery in small town Cupid Cove. The local radio station is announcing new things coming in their small town….when Lara finds out what is coming, she is not happy. There is a new bakery coming to town, that comes with its own love matching app. The more you buy, the better match you will have. Graham is behind this bakery/matching app and is excited to start a new chapter in his own life. He is taking a big chance making these decisions, quitting his dependable job, leaving his home, and losing a girlfriend. Will this bring him the freedom he is looking for? The chemistry between Lara and Graham is great, they are so competitive and both in it to win.
I love the radio commentary in between scenes, it really added something extra for me. This was a sweet small town romance with a head strong heroine. My favorite kind of story.

What a cute book! This story is perfect, it makes me feel like I’m living in a small town in a hallmark movie. All the elements in this book were excellent, and nicely thought out, the banter between the radio hosts, Tom and Jenny, and the growing attraction and romance between Lara and Graham. The age difference between Lara and Graham was sweet, I hated the waiting game with them but understood her parents point of view. Their love was a little bit spicy with a whole lot of sweet. I really enjoyed how each chapter opened up with the radio hosts setting the scene and the fact that there are dessert recipes throughout, I can’t wait to try them out. A perfect and quick read, definitely recommend!

Sweet afternoon delight
This little gem did not disappoint. Coffee, cookies and an afternoon quickie (read). The town of Cupid Cove is charming and Graham and Lara were a cute couple. Even though this is a short read the author did not skimp on details. I loved the recipes and the short snippets from the radio hosts, had me in stitches. Highly recommend as a romantic afternoon escape.

C.A. King wrote a wonderful book here! If cookie and Valentines Day being in the title didn’t give you the hint that it would be sweet, then take my word for it! Such an easy to read book with the perfect chemistry between characters. LOVED the idea of a Valentines loving town and thought it was really a great setting! When competition heats up so do feelings! I will be definitely keeping my eye out for more from this author!

This is a cute romance story that I enjoyed. A shorter story that is packed full of fun and love. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I have loved reading her books from the start. They are engaging and well written. This story is no different. The characters pulled me in from the beginning and had me coming back for more. This is a fast paced romance story that is hard to put down. The characters are relatable and really packs a punch throughout the story. A small town, second chance romance that has great growth throughout the story. I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters as well as how loveable they were. I really enjoyed this story as it is entertaining and the characters bring life to the story. This is a great Valentine’s Day story that will warm up your day. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I really enjoyed this book, it was fun read and had great characters who I fell in love with straight away. I really love this authors writing, she had a really engaging writing style and her books never fail to entertain me. Graham and Lara were wonderful characters to read about, I loved the connection that they had both professionally and in other ways. I loved the competition between them when it came to their baking. I loved the way the book was written with the differing points of view, it was entertaining and such a fun read.
I really recommend this fun, sweet read!

Wow this is a super cute book that I could not get enough of! This is the first book that I have read that it not only had me hooked by the main characters Graham and Lara but by the lovely recipes throughout the story. As I was reading this book, I was baking along the way. The way the author wrote their stories was wonderful and they are really cute together. Both Lara and Graham are head strong and independent but mesh so well. If you enjoy super cute romances and love new baked goods recipes, then this is the book for you! I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

Another feel good romance from CA. It is set in a quirky and quaint little town Cupid’s Cove where they love Valentine’s Day. It’s sexy, with a little angst. Throw in a few recipes and get ready for something a little sweet and spicy. It will pull at your heartstrings on places. One thing I love is that this author has an eclectic style of writing so you never know what you will get. It is a light-hearted and fun read.
Grab a coffee and maybe something sweet (it is a Valentine’s Day story after all) and settle in for a relaxing afternoon escape.

I simply loved this book and the story that it held! I have been a fan of this author for quite some time, but every time they write a book, my heart is full and happy. I loved the quirkiness of the characters in this one, it was a cute read, and had the prefect amount of sweetness.

Personally I loved how the setting of the town was made up. A town that loves Valentines Day and the love it brings. Now that is my kind of town! Graham and Lara were adorable together. Both came from different sides of the fence. Both in a bakery competition, I loved how competitive they were with one another. Those moments when they were not fighting for the win, they really had common ground that was well more than just common, a ground that held something they both really wanted, but were afraid to go after. I loved the town and the happy feelings it gave off to myself as the reader for the joy of Valentines Day. As I said the book had a good humor, and happy feeling as you read. And before I knew it, I had finished the book, I loved the story of Lara and Graham and wanted more! Loved this book!

The book had its own level of sweetness and brought on different levels of joy as you read. it was a quick and fun read. Highly recommend this book, no matter what time of year it is. If you have not have had the joy of checking out this author yet either, I highly recommend you do so as well! Both are must reads!

Lara and Graham are two people thrown together in the goodness of romantic goodness (bakery goodness, that is). He’s opening a bakery/dating app; she’s coming home to heal from a bad breakup and to help her mom with the family bakery (his competition). Between the witty radio station conversations, the yummy recipes included (have to try some of these), and the just plain funny, romantic story, this is one story you just can’t piss. The chemistry is there. Her parents are your typical parents: Mom is chill, Dad is a grump. The town is Cupid’s Cove. The plot is simple and makes for a quick weekend read. Relatable and you’ll love the story. I recommend this book to all.
