Paisley's sister is getting married and asks Paisley to serve as her maid of honor. Her sister is marrying Paisley's ex-boyfriend, so Paisley doesn't want to deal with the wedding alone. Enter Klein. Paisley and Klein were in a writing course together in college. Klein was interested in Paisley, and they shared one drunken kiss. However, after harshly critiquing one of her writing assignments for the class, Klein's dream of being in Paisley's life was crushed. The embarrassment and hurt she experienced lingered, so Paisley was less than thrilled to see him when they reconnected eight years later. They talk and realize they each have something to offer the other. Klein needs help marketing his books, and Paisley needs a date for the wedding. After signing a contract on a napkin, their mutually beneficial agreement is set in motion.
Here for the Cake is such a cute story! I had a smile on my face the entire time. I love the fake dating trope, and it was executed perfectly. Klein and Paisley are perfect for each other. They have amazing chemistry, and the banter was really fun. Paisley's situation is certainly less than ideal. I can't imagine being asked to be a part of your sister and ex-boyfriend's wedding. Poor thing just wanted to survive the week. I love the growth Paisley experienced throughout the story. She was a people pleaser who allowed her family to walk all over her. They always expected her to say 'yes' to anything they asked. With Klein's support, Paisley was able to finally start standing up for herself. Klein is the perfect golden retriever guy. He is sweet, witty, attentive, supportive, charming, and overall swoon-worthy. Paisley is the one who got away, and Klein is all in with her.
This was such a great read! Here for the Cake had everything I needed - well-developed main characters, interesting side characters, lots of laughs, tension, romance, and spice. Also, the dyslexia representation is spot on! This book is highly recommended for those looking for a fun and adorable story that will have you smiling from ear to ear.
NARRATION:
Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue narrated this story. They both did an amazing job. The story is amazing, but Hannah and Aaron's performances made it even more enjoyable. They really brought the characters to life. Hannah and Aaron gave the characters the perfect personalities and made me feel all of the emotions this story evoked.

This is my first book by Jennifer and wow do I need to go back a read some of her other work.“We had something back then, Paisley, and we have something today, and that tells me we’ll have something in twenty years. In forty. In fifty. We are evergreen.”Paisley sister is getting married to her ex boyfriend. Paisley is also the maid of honor . How Awkward! She planned her sister Bachlorette party and at the first stop on there list of party places she runs into Klein AKA Klein the stripper! IYKTYK!! Klein and her know each other from college and she kinda hates him but wants him. She thought he never reach out to her after they kissed in college . They also had a creative writing class together and he happened to edit her paper and was very harsh. He didn’t know at the time it was her paper . Paisley still holds the grudge. He end up making sure she gets to her hotel safely and runs into her sister, mom and her sister bridal party and jokingly says he’s her boyfriend. She doesn’t correct him because she feels like she already looks stupid . SO the fake dating beginnings.I loved there chemistry together. Did I mention he writes romance. Klein is the perfect book husband. He’s a gentlemen and treats her as she deserves to be treated. He’s always felt this connection to her. They both felt like it was just so easy and natural to be with one another . I LOVED how he put Shane in his place multiple times.Paisley family dynamic is messy at best. She has a rough relationship with her family because she feels like she can never say no , that she needs ti make them happy all the time. When in reality her sister and dad just treat her like crap! Paisley has so much going for her ! I really enjoyed her story . I had so much fun reading it and watching her and Klein fall in love!“Klein the husband.”Read if you love a good FAKE DATING, SECOND CHANCE ,MMC FALLS FIRST, ONE BED, SUMMER/BEACH VIBES, FAMILY DRAMA, and best of all NO THRID ACT BREAK UP !! Thank you Jennifer & Valentine PR for the ARC!🌟🌟🌟🌟.5
