Sweet Rise Bakery - A Kitchen Monster RomCom #3
Frothed by my Monster Espresso Beast: One girl. Unlimited steam.
Frothed by My Monster Espresso Beast
Sweet Rise Bakery, Book 3
Her stand mixer and rolling pin already turn into devastatingly hot immortal monsters. The espresso machine in the crate was not part of the plan.
Welcome to Sweet Rise Bakery, where enchanted kitchen appliances become possessive monster men, magical bonds refuse to follow health codes, and one baker discovers that a why-choose relationship requires considerably more counter space.
Abby Dixon makes the best bread in Portland, eats her feelings in croissant form, and has, through no fault of her own, bonded with two supernatural kitchen tools who become unfairly sexy after hours. She had a system. The system was working.
Then a steaming, humming crate is delivered, and out comes a former three-cup Moka pot turned six feet of magnificent operatic copper, thrilled beyond reason to finally have steam wands and a great deal to say about all of it.
The trouble is, every new bond makes Abby louder, and the Flour Council, an ancient grain cult with a taste for "harvesting" women like her, is already listening.
There's a contract on her counter she can never satisfy. A clock she didn't start. A creepy regular who turns out to be her only way out, if he can hold a memory long enough to tell her how.
She's got fourteen days, a found family she'd burn the world for, three immortals who love her, and one impossible keep her head down and lose everything slowly — or get loud, get powerful, and dare the people who want to take her to try.

I think my interest in this series is waning as the novelty wears off and the plot slowly grinds to a halt. There's only so many times I can read about a woman having group sex with a bunch of kitchen appliances. I do like the relationship Abby has with her friends and allies, and overall the relationship between the appliances seems to be pretty sweet and supportive. I'm just...bored by the lack of plot development.

Why am I addicted to this series? It’s like crack.
A double-D Italian espresso machine named Espressiano with the personality of an excitable puppy…oh go on then
Underneath the smut, there is a genuinely good plot where 3 “monsters” are more attentive to a a woman than any real man could ever be.
And on top of all that, these books are filled with banter that will have you giggling your way through.
Go on…you know you want to.

I am not the target audience for this.
Flossing my brain with intentional pages long dialogue of a weird Gen Z/alpha mix of slang chat about coffee orders does not spark joy.

At the end of book 2, Abby had just taken delivery of her next potential bond and he's something. Espressiano makes the perfect cup of coffee and he's THRILLED with all his attachments and gauges. He's also thrilled to be back in the world and not tucked away in a corner cabinet, forgotten.
Not going to lie, all these monster-y appliances have their stories and they're all horrible in their own way. To be put away, just gathering dust and forgotten is just...sad. Even if Abby wasn't a Keystone (or a kleides), the fact she accepts them and gives each of her monsters purpose again is something. The fact she has bondable feelings for each of them makes things even better. Except, you know, how those bonds and those feelings also put her in the crosshairs of the Flour Council.
Honestly, their name makes them sound like a comic book villain. But they have the power to do very bad things to her, so they're...ahh, well, actually, that does make them kinda comic book villainy. I will say their use of rigid rules and regulations that are so vague it takes a law degree (mostly) to figure out what's going on makes them WAY scarier than any comic book villain could ever be.
Anywho. Abby has a new potential bond. Her two current bonds are okay with adding another. Mostly because the more bonds Abby can collect and hold the less likely she can be disappeared without warning. So they accept Espressiano and his excited steaming and big personality because keeping Abby safe is the most important thing.
Meanwhile, things are getting murky on the Flour Council end. Not everyone within the organization is okay with the way things are run. Not everyone has an evil agenda. But some do. Which means Abby, her monsters, and the people who she has at her back need to be careful with who they trust.
I've enjoyed every book in this series and all I can say is Abby has a DOUBLE OVEN in her future and YESSSSSS!

And I'm into an espresso machine now
Apparently in going to continue being that person who openly tells people about the monster smut I happily read and the FMC who does all sorts of dirty things with sentient kitchen appliances. But these are just so we'll written, so funny, and so downright good. Excellent reading and amazing writing as always. I'll be needing installments 4 and 5 immediately.

Read it on a whim
I am very impatiently waiting for the next book. To my great surprise, I absolutely love this series and its characters. Wish there were 20 more books.

Delightful surprise!
What a fun trilogy! I wasn't expecting the writing to be so good!
I'm a kitchen person. I get giddy about appliances.
These has such a great storyline, and the characters are all integral. There were quite a few spots where I just cracked up.
While the reverse harem or poly vibe isn't my taste, the characters and story are very enjoyable.
The food descriptions are sweet torture (food allergies).
Really hope a 4th or 5th are going to be considered...

This one was not a fun as the last ones however it did add to the story which I greatly appreciated. I did like the further world building and although the general issue was starting to get a bit confusing, I think in the next book it will tie in the loose ends that I wasn't completely understanding.

Was it as good as the first books? No. Was it a funny silly goofy time? Deff.

I live these books
These are so funny - the banter will keep you laughing - they are spicy - and the story developing as the story progresses has me wanting to find out how this will end!
