Blurb: Jeff Morgan’s life is all about career. Relationships aren’t on his radar. His friendships are limited to a very few and his sex life consists of wham-bam-thank-you-man sexual encounters. He doesn’t do long term. He doesn’t even do breakfast.

Then the fate of a cake brings Ollie Cranford into his life. Shaved head, tats and piercings, the baker is far from Jeff’s type, but Ollie is as luscious as the treats he whips up in his bakery.

Now if only Jeff can relax long enough to enjoy the icing on the beefcake.

Review: Wow. This story was perfect. The sex, the men, the setting. I couldn’t read fast enough yet I wanted the pages to go on forever. From the first innocent brush of their legs under the table to the sweet sexual surrenders in the bedroom, I was invested. Both Ollie and Jeff have flaws, expectations and fears. And watching them risk their emotions for a chance at something real will strike a chord with every reader. These are the stories that bring emotional punch to the pure thrill I get when reading m/m romances. I have a sweet tooth for men and Icing on the Cake satisfied me on every level.
