Sugar Rush: A M/M Holiday Rivals to Lovers Romance
Some recipes require a little heat to work.
Archer has spent years perfecting his craft—classical training, precise techniques, and a reputation as the city's most meticulous baker. The last thing he needs is a viral video feud with some YouTube amateur who thinks "vibes and good intentions" can replace proper skill.
Enter self-taught, spontaneous, and everything Archer has been taught to dismiss. With two million followers and a smile that makes Archer's carefully controlled world tilt sideways.
When the Tinsel & Tingles app pairs them as partners for a charity baking competition, Archer's convinced it's a disaster waiting to happen. Three days of forced collaboration with the man who publicly called his techniques "ridiculously overcomplicated"? No thank you.
But somewhere between flour explosions and stolen kisses, Archer discovers that Nico's chaos might be exactly what his too-controlled life needs. And Nico learns that technique and heart aren't enemies—they're ingredients for something extraordinary.
This Christmas, the perfect partnership is the one that breaks all your rules.
A standalone M/M holiday romance with open-door heat, kitchen chemistry, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 2 in the Tinsel & Tingles series—where a cheeky dating app creates the perfect holiday matches.

From opposing views, comes love
In this presentation within the 'Tinsel & Tingles' application, two distinctly different social media contributors are paired by the platform to collaborate on a charity baking competition. Archer is traditionally trained, whereas Nico critiques this method, advocating that spontaneity holds significant value in both culinary pursuits and everyday life.
Initially resistant to their partnership in the competition, the two eventually develop an authentic appreciation for the diverse approaches each brings to the contest. Their chemistry enhances their unique strategies for addressing the challenges presented at each of the three competition rounds. Archer acknowledges Nico's broad perspective on baking, while Nico recognizes Archer's meticulousness and technical proficiency required to realize their shared vision.
This narrative embodies a love story, wherein the characters share stolen kisses and grow to value each other over their week-long partnership, fostering a shared vision of the future.
Bree Hollis crafts these stories with an effortless clarity that is neither overly complicated nor overly simplistic. She provides background details infused with genuine passion, highlighting the evolving mutual appreciation between the two protagonists. Archer carries an unresolved feeling stemming from his father's rejection of his chosen path, while Nico values Archer's willingness to embrace straightforward approaches, both in the kitchen and in life.
This is a compelling story that is accessible, low in tension, and invites the reader to accompany the characters on their journey toward a future together happy.
