review 1: When Allen is tasked with choosing a cake for his parents' fortieth wedding anniversary in place of his sister, he never expected to find the love of his life. Shiloh, a sweet, kindhearted baker immediately feels a connection with Allen as soon as they lay eyes on each other. While Allen and Shiloh have the potential to have a beautiful relationship, the fact that Allen still hades his sexuality in public, particularly at work, could end it before it ever began.This was a quick, easy breezy story that had little conflict and a wealth of romance. Shiloh was adorable and Allen was the perfect boyfriend. A very sweet read.
review 2: Yummy Indulgences is a sweet romantic read that explores the love between Allen Garner, rugged, masculine, only out to his family and... more Shiloh Ballard, a lean, openly gay, bakery chef and owner. Throughout this story, author Andi Anderson maintains a purity to her writing and to her characters. The emotions, their struggles, and the conclusion travel along a pleasant path that keeps you wondering what will happen next, but which also rings true and believable.What drew me in most while reading was the complexity of the two main characters. Without beating the reader over the head, Ms. Anderson skillfully reveals why each protagonist struggles, what past events have led to their current situations. I felt, by the end of the book, that I knew these two characters and I certainly now why they belong together.There were a couple of aspects to this story that I would have liked to have seen further developed. Questions which remained unanswered by the end of the book. Such things as why Shiloh holds off on sex, the struggle Allen faces as his relationship progresses with Shiloh and as he runs the very real risk of being outed at work, the impact of Shiloh’s family history and how that has shaped who he is. Each of these things is addressed, but I found myself wanting more from these plot developments and others.With that being said, the simplicity of the story and it’s development is also the story’s strength. It follows a clean story line, one that does not leave gaping holes and which rolls along with the right balance of tension/conflict and happiness until we reach the ending.All in all, this was a highly pleasurable read.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- less
