About the Book

Title: Winning Over the Baker

Author: Danielle Thorne

Publisher: Love Inspired

Release Date: April 29, 2025

Genre: Inspirational Romance

Can this single mom have it all

Without losing her heart?

Just when Tam Rochester’s dreams of expanding her herb shop and being able to support her daughter are finally coming true, Patrick Butler arrives in town. She wasn’t counting on the single dad’s plans for a bakery right across the street or the competition it’ll bring. Tam’s not afraid to fight for her future, but going toe-to-toe with Patrick would be easier if she didn’t adore his kids—and if she could just ignore her growing feelings for the too-talented baker…

My thoughts: I have a special place in my heart for bakeries and stories with bakeries, since I worked in one for years. I thought that it was fun to have the hero start a bakery in this story!

Patrick and Tam are both struggling to own small businesses as single parents. While I can relate to owning a small business, I can’t relate to the obstacles of doing so as a single parent. I loved going along with Patrick and Tam as they work together and get to know another, despite adversity and tragedy. This is a fun story to pick up and enjoy!

I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.
