<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"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 the gorgeous Korean hunk 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"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jayci Lee delivers "a perfect balance of impeccable wit, laugh out loud hilarity, and off the charts chemistry. <i>A Sweet Mess</i> is a sinfully decadent romantic comedy."--<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Helena Hunting</b> <p/>Aubrey Choi has been content running her highly successful bakery Comfort Zone and with its first expansion taking up all of her time, dating has been the least of her priorities.
