Book Review 

Sugar and Spice is a short story in the anthology titled The Sugar Cookie Sweetheart Swap, with fellow authors, Donna Kauffman and Kate Angell. 

And for me, nothing is sexier than a man who knows how to cook and knows his way around cooking utensils. Pastry chef Pete Mancuso is Hot, Hot, Hot. 

If you are in the mood for a steamy holiday read and scorching sexual chemistry, Kincaid delivers more than enough to whet your appetite. And I love Kincaid's humor that shines throughout the story as things heat up between Lily and Pete as they both compete in a cookie baking competition. Both have their own agenda, but are not prepared for the  growing intimacy and feelings between them. 

Lily is needing money to get her own storefront when she catches wind of a Christmas cookie contest--with the grand prize of $10,000--and the answer to her dreams is in her grasp. She is determined to win it.

Pete Mancuso is just as resolute to win the contest. He has to win and get his name out there. His winning could land him the head pastry chef at L'Orangerie. He is cocky, and confident of his chance to claim the winning prize. 

But an unexpected run-in (literally) with Lily, a woman from his past, has Pete frazzled with sexual heat. And Lily refuses to be taken by the man who broke her best friend's heart. 

As part of the competition, Lily and Pete are paired up and forced to work together. Their differences when it comes to baking creates more than a sizzle as they try to agree on how to prepare a delicious pomegranate pistachio shortbread with a dark chocolate glaze. 

Did your mouth just salivate at that visual? 

With Sugar and Spice, be prepared to not only enjoy the sweet romance between Pete and Lily, but go away craving decadent desserts and mouth-watering delights. 

Recipes included.

RELEASE DAY BOOK BLAST ~ OUTSIDE THE LINES BY KIMBERLY KINCAID

As an ivy-league ER doctor who eats double shifts for breakfast (and lunch…and dinner), Blake Fisher has little appetite for anything other than work. Being on the staff at Brenstville Hospital means taking care of people, a need Blake understands all too well from losing his brother to cystic fibrosis eight years ago. When he’s asked to coordinate a carnival fundraiser for the cause, he jumps at the chance to help others with the disease…until it lands him side by side with the one woman he never thought he’d see again: his ex-fiancée.


Streetwise and rough around the edges, Jules Shaw is no stranger to earning a living through hard work. But when her job as the restaurant manager of Mac’s Diner puts her shoulder to really broad shoulder with Blake Fisher, she nearly balks. She’d rather dodge and deflect than admit the real reason she broke things off, but the catering contract for the carnival means big business for Mac’s, and feeding people is Jules’s lifeblood.


As Blake and Jules join reluctant forces, they quickly rediscover the spark between them. But the possibility of a future together hinges on coming clean about the past, with potentially devastating consequences. Can Blake and Jules overcome their drastically different backgrounds and learn to love again, or will they always be outside the lines?

Author Bio

Several years ago, I picked up a last-minute handful of books at a yard sale before a summer trip to the beach. I ate the first one like candy, downing it in just over a day. In the back of the book, the author put her email address and said she loved to hear from her readers. What the heck, I thought, and typed a quick note to say how much I loved the book. She wrote me back personally, and I realized that writers are real people- just like me- and that if I put my heart into it, I could be one, too.

It was the moment I knew I had stories to tell. It was the moment I knew I was a writer.
