About
Aubrey Choi loves living in her small town nestled in the foothills of California, running her highly successful bakery away from the watch of her strict Korean parents. When a cake mix-up and a harsh review threaten all of her hard work and her livelihood, she never thought the jaded food critic would turn out to be her one-night stand. And she sure as hell never thought she’d see her gorgeous Korean unicorn again. But when Landon Kim waltzes into her bakery trying to clean up the mess he had a huge hand in making, Aubrey is torn between throwing and hearing him out.
When she hears his plan to help save her business, Aubrey knows that spending three weeks in California wine country working with Landon is a sure recipe for disaster. Her head is telling her to take the chance to save her bakery while her heart—and her hormones—are at war on whether to give him a second chance. And it just so happens that Landon’s meddling friends want them to spend those three weeks as close as possible...by sharing a villa.
When things start heating up, both in and out of the kitchen, Aubrey will have to make a choice—to stick it out or risk her heart.

My Review

A Sweet Mess is sweet cute, rom com read from Jayci Lee.
The story about bakery owner Aubrey and celebrity food critic Landon. The story is fairly quick paced and Aubrey and Landon meet in your typical way at a bar, however it's the event afterwards where things change and Aubrey and Landon's relationship changes and gets a little complicated. I must say that some of the recipes and cakes described in the book sounded amazingly yummy (apart from the first one mentioned in the book lol)
There were lots of comedy moments throughout this book that make you smile as reading. For me at times the story felt a little muddled as it changed POV as different points and I found myself having to read back to figure out what happened. There was also a miscommunication near the end which I didn't really like in the story, it actually felt a little out of character and was a little frustrating. However I did find the ending was very sweet. It was a fairly quick read for me but if you are looking for a sweet quick rom com read this might be the book for you.
