Poppy Porter's ex is getting married ... to her ex-best friend. To land her dream job of partner in the most prestigious firm on the Upper East Side, Poppy must now pull double shifts as their wedding planner and maid of honor. And the icing on a truly craptastic cake? Leo Nass. Handsome, infuriating, womanizer, and … the best man. Despite their longstanding loathing, Poppy doesn't see Leo coming. Literally.
One ruined cake.
One archnemesis.
One hour to save the wedding.
Can they put their hatred aside long enough to save Poppy’s job and Bridezilla's head from exploding?
Piece of cake, right?
I sneak closer to the bed, my heart pounding as I throw the pillow at him. The guy shifts in his sleep, and his breathing slows, but a beat later the snoring starts again and I have to resist the urge to scream. Instead, I raise my poker and jab the sheet covered body. It’s not hard, just a quick jab or two, but he still doesn’t stir.
“Hey, asshole!” I shout, and whack him hard in the butt with my poker.
The giant freak jumps up and seizes my hand. His grip forces me to drop my weapon. He yanks me toward him—on top of him—and this is how I find myself eye to eye with the beast. He breathes his heavy, stinking breath on my face, and I wince and wrinkle my nose.
Leo’s eyes crinkle in the corners as he laughs. “Morning, Pop Tart.”
“Get the hell out of my bed. And brush your goddamn teeth. What are you doing in my house, Nass?”
“Ah, still feisty, huh? Is this like an all-day thing with you, or do you eventually turn from an angry sea witch into a person? Would coffee help?”
“Fuck you, Leo.”
“Darlin’, you wish.”
“You’re disgusting. I wouldn’t touch you if—”
“Yeah, yeah, if I were the last man on Earth. I’ve heard it all before, sweet cheeks, and I don’t buy it for a second.” He flips us so suddenly my head spins. I’m beneath him, my wrists pinioned to the bed above my head by just one of his strong hands. The other glides up my side. My sheets have twisted up around us, but from this angle it looks as if Leo Nass is very much naked in my bed.
“Goddamn it,” I complain once I find my voice. “I’m going to need to burn these sheets after you leave.”
His eyebrow quirks, and the grin he gives me is all-out salacious. He shifts his weight between my legs, then he drops his hips and grinds his erection against me. I’m stunned, speechless. I have no words. They’ve all left me because my brain has turned to mush and my vagina is the only one thinking, and I’m really not okay leaving her in charge. “Why burn them when we’re not done messing them up?”

Upon seeing the amazing illustrated cover, I
was inexplicably drawn to this title, and boy it didn’t disappoint. Carmen Jenner has crafted an enemies to
lovers, romantic comedy that will leave you completely enthralled and laughing
out loud.
Poppy Porter is in a world of hurt, I don’t
know anyone who would want to be in her shoes.
Being a bridesmaid and helping to plan the wedding of her former
best-friend to her ex-fiancée. To make
matters worse her childhood foe Leo Nash, who antagonises and baits her
constantly for his own amusement is the grooms best man. This pair both give as good as they get. I loved Leo’s ability to be sweet and sexy, and
Poppy’s ability to be adorable, yet strong and sassy whilst at the same time
constantly bickering and baiting each other and fight their budding attraction
and chemistry.
This book is laugh out loud hilarious, the
interactions and banter between Poppy and Leo are incredibly fun, flirtatious,
witty, dirty and full of bickering. I
loved how open and honest this pair are with each other, even when it’s because
they are insulting each other.
I highly recommend Cake if you are after a
light hearted, fun, and sexy read, that will keep you completely captivated.
