by Tessa Bailey (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,381 ratings
An all-new, sizzling romantic comedy from New York Times Bestselling Author Tessa Bailey...

Reese dreams of seeing her name in lights on Broadway, but so far she has only graced the used car parking lots of rural Wisconsin. With her window of opportunity shrinking fast, a miracle happens. She wins an audition with Bernard Bexley, Broadway’s most respected dance choreographer. When disaster strikes and Reese misses the audition, she has to find another way in front of Bernard, otherwise face the disappointment back home.

Following the sage advice of a Times Square Pikachu—Reese seeks out Bernard’s son, prepared to beg for his aid, never expecting mega sparks to fly between her and the gentle giant baker. With Reese’s heart now involved, she refuses to use Leo to her advantage and tries to walk away before her ulterior motives are exposed, but gravity continues to draw them back together…until it’s impossible to stay apart.

But Reese’s lie of omission can only stay buried for so long. When Leo finds out how their relationship started, will Reese keep her ultimate role as Leo’s leading lady? Or will the curtain fall on their real-life fairytale?

5 out of 5 stars
A sexy and delicious, romantic treat!
Reese Stratton dreams of dancing on Broadway, and when her big break finally comes, she rushes as fast as she can to New York City. Dancing for the world renowned, Bernard Bexley would be the opportunity of a lifetime…. only she arrives late and misses her one and only chance. Leo Bexley is a quiet and reserved baker who wants nothing to do with being in the limelight cast by his father. When Reese comes into his shop, he thinks he has found the woman of his dreams, only to realize she is a dancer… and he knows all to well what dancers really want from him… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sweetest Fix was a sexy and delicious, romantic treat! Reese and Leo’s simmering attraction is undeniable, but having met under less-than-honest circumstances, a relationship between them would be impossible… or so Reese keeps trying to tell herself. But pushing the big, hunk of a teddy bear, away is something her heart just can’t manage… and if she doesn’t make it in NYC, she won’t have a choice in the matter anyway… I absolutely adored everything about this book! Reese’s passion for dancing and her drive to land a role on Broadway in only two weeks is a crazy task, but I had total faith in Reese’s ability to succeed. Leo was a big-ole adorable man, and at the same time incredibly sexy and assertive. With his natural desire to protect, cherish, and learn all things Reese, she helps him realize that he has been hiding away for too many years, and that he has so much to offer the world, just as he is. The connection between Reese and Leo was scorching hot and so much fun! I loved their relationship and the joy they brought to each other. Even the big secret looming over their future could do little to put a damper on their adorable and sexy romance. This book is a must read for Valentine’s Day, or today, or anytime you need an incredibly sexy and fun, romantic escape! I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Warning - you will need bakery treats after reading this book!!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021

    I'm not a huge fan of insta-love, but as you can see by my 5 star rating I loved this book. Let me tell you why. He is a GRUMPY BAKER and she is a dancer. I don't need to say anything else here right? After reading about all the amazing treats Leo made, I will be visiting the bakery today. Give me all the cake pops.
    Reese is about to throw in the towel on ever becoming a real dancer, but when she gets a letter telling her she was accepted to audition for Bernard Bexley, she sets out for NYC only to miss her audition because of travel delays. After almost giving up and a peptalk from Pikachu, she looks up his son thinking he might be able to help her get that audition after all. As soon as she meets Leo sparks fly and she knows she can't use him like that.
    Leo doesn't have great communication skills, he's happy being in the back of the bakery and not peopleing, but when he hears Reese's voice as she enters the bakery, he's immidiately drawn out of hiding.
    This book was just adorable, and I couldn't help smiling and even getting a little teary at parts. The best part? It was a novella. I love novellas because they are just the right amount of story for me, especially when they are written this well. The only warning I have is that after you read it, you will need to visit a bakery, stat.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not going to lie I'm surprised by how much I loved this book!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022

    Tessa Bailey has become an auto read author for me. I have really enjoyed the majority of the books I've read by her (all but one book). With this one being shorter I figured that I would enjoy it enough, but not love it. But to my surprise I loved this book. I like Reese as a herione (minus all the lies), and Leo was the best. I absolutely loved that he is a big guy ( and not super tall, muscle big, but a big guy), it was so nice to read a book about a man who was so desired and he wasn't ripped. I really enjoyed the relationship between MC, I'm not huge on instalove, and I suppose this was but it didn't feel like it. It felt more like these two people with an intense connection with little time to develop it. It just worked for me. I really enjoyed the premise of this book; the ballet and baking aspect were fun. I liked that this was set around Valentines Day. This book checked all of my boxes. There were some really sweet and swoony parts and even though this bookwas short, but it was quite spicy. Tessa Bailey writes these men who are so grumpy and/or quiet, but then you get them in the bedroom and a flip is switched. Leo was definitely that hero. There were a few things that took me out of the story so that's why it is a four star read for me, but at the end of the day I did love this book and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fairly low angst, steamy, quick read.

    Tessa Bailey is a master at writing spicy scenes, and this book is no different. But there’s very little development of the characters that makes the instalove plot sensible. I don’t care for instalove, but it can be done well. It just isn’t here.

    The things I do like are Leo, a pretty good grump who is actually a big teddy bear. And I think the conflict actually makes sense. It’s inevitable and logical. And no one behaves so badly I didn’t want them to be redeemed.

    So this book falls into the okay-ish category. Do with that what you will.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Light and steamy
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021

    Aptly named (because it's the sweetest fix of rom com goodness), this is easy to devour in one sitting. It's incredibly low angst, quick, and sexy with plenty of steam. I liked it from start to finish, but there were definitely things that rubbed me the wrong way - a slightly cheesy and unrealistic feel, the level of deception, and an ending that falls flat. But there was nothing that stopped me from enjoying this overall, and any issues are ultimately pretty minor. If you're looking for a dose of sweet sexiness, this will certainly satisfy.

    The story follows Reese, a dancer who is allowing herself one last chance to achieve her dreams. When the opportunity of a lifetime brings her to New York City, Reese is full of hope... until travel delays force her to miss the audition. In a desperate attempt to get in touch with the man she was supposed to audition with, Reese seeks out his son. Leo is nothing like Reese expected, and she feels an instant attraction to the burly baker. Leo is wary of dancers because they always seem to see him as a stepping stone, so Reese is careful to avoid mentioning her initial plans - because falling for him has nothing to do with Leo's father. But as the lies start piling up, Reese realizes there's no way to avoid the conversation forever.

    I loved the light, easy feel, and I especially loved Leo. He's a sweet yet moody baker; a little unsure of himself, but confident in his attraction to Reese. Their love is definitely the instantaneous kind, but that's the only way this story could've worked - the connection forms right away, and then there's no going back. Things get downright steamy early on, and the book moves at a fast pace the whole way through. It would've benefited from a longer length, and I almost never say that. By the end, I felt like they never had any real conversations, not only because they spend so much time in bed, but also because Reese tells Leo so many lies. It didn't sit right that he was planning a commitment while Reese was trying to figure out how many more nights she could afford to stay in the city. The ending also felt lackluster and a little rushed. Really, most of my issues with the book are pretty minor, and could've all been avoided with a slightly longer length. It's still a solid read with some smoking hot moments, and not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

    Every little aspect in a Tessa Bailey book is so beautifully executed, and this is no exception.
    Even in a book where one protagonist is has lied or withheld the truth (which is my second least favourite trope after cheating), I couldn't put it down.
    The MC's have depth and strength and passion, and Leo is one of those surprising characters who seems so sweet but has such a dirty mouth. I was rooting for these guys the whole way through.
