Bears & Bakeries - Paperback

by Dylan Drakes (Author)

A cozy baking romance with low angst and high heat.

Locky Sorenson isn't a risk taker. He's stuck in an awful office job. He's terrified of turning his one true passion, baking, into something real. And worst of all, he hasn't gotten laid in almost a decade. Sure, he could confront the traumatic reason he's in this mess, but stress eating donuts under a cozy blanket sounds like a much better option.

Benedict Owens doesn't screw his clients, no matter how beefy and adorkable they are. As a small business advisor, he knows that's a recipe for disaster. Better to keep his distance. That way he won't get burnt again.

But when Locky loses his job, fate pushes them together-forcing them to confront the fears that have held them back for so long.

And while they try to keep things professional, Locky and Benedict soon discover that cupcakes aren't the only thing rising in the kitchen. And that steel benches make an excellent surface to really pound out the dough.

Now they've got to decide how deep they want to take it. Will Locky find the courage to open his dream bakery? Will Benedict finally let someone mend his broken heart? Or will they both decide that the whisk is just too great?

Bears & Bakeries is a sweet and spicy hurt/comfort romance about following your dreams, overcoming your fears, and getting some spicy snuggles with beefy boys along the way. Expect cozy baking vibes, highly detailed and body positive spice, and a supportive romance that's as sweet and warm as a freshly glazed donut.
