When Alice woke up this morning, she never expected to end up in a reality television competition where the contestants are terrible bakers. She’s been ambushed and now she’s expected to make a cake that actually tastes good? While the cameras roll?
Just when Alice thinks the situation couldn’t get any worse, the man she’s always loved from afar, British celebrity baker Sebastian Cove, is introduced as one of the judges. Sebastian has a reputation for being ruthless when judging desserts, but his glacial blue eyes soften the moment they land on sweet, flustered Alice. He wants a lot more than a pinch of her sugar and he’ll move heaven and earth to get it…
Well tickle me pink, because Jessa Kane just served up my dream. This is the 'Great British Bake Off' for rejects meets my daddy fantasy all presented with frilly panties!
When Alice finds herself on a television baking show as a prank for worst bakers she is beyond mortified. But when British celebrity judge Sebastian Cove offers her silent moral support, hightailing it isn’t an option. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the fact that Alice can’t bake to save her life and there’s no hiding from the humiliation.
"Sebastian lifts a hand and cups the side of my face. Oh God, he’s so warm. So steady.
I whimper and lean in, the inner walls of my femininity contracting wildly.
“Shhh, Alice. It’s only one cake.”"
This story was enchanting, and Sebastian was divine. Especially when he realises that Alice’s fantasies sway towards a man like himself capable of fulfilling her ‘particular’ desires. Trust me you need to read this book just for the baking lesson alone……
"There’s a reason I never get physical with the men I date. I’m afraid of being told I’m a freak."
I will admit I loved A Pinch of Sugar, and this is the first book in Lights Camera Insta-love Series, so I'm completely stoked. This book was seriously kinky, adorable and fucking hot. For DD/LG lovers you will want to read this immediately!
"He’s the silver fox of my dreams and I’m the little girl who’s going to obey him, because I need to. Because I want to."

"Every thirty seconds, she wipes her hands on the back of her skirt, leaving white handprints and by God, I think I’m jealous over the fact that she gets to touch herself."
When I picked this up it was because I needed a good quick read before bed. I didn't realize it was a Daddy kink book so I was more than pleasantly surprised. In fact, this is quite honestly the most well done daddy kink book that I have personally ever read.
“Are there frilly, little girl panties under this skirt, Alice?”
Alice is a fully formed character. An actual, successful, woman! Not a 10 year old trapped in a woman's body. I really don't enjoy those DD/Lg books. This is something different. She acts like and is an adult but their preferred sexual style is Daddy kink. That is the way to do it! Be young, vulnerable, and role play in the bedroom. Be an actual person in your daily life! Jessa Kane got this 100% right for me.
"How freeing is that? Leaving the night in his hands, knowing he’ll take care of everything, including me?"
Sebastian. Ugh. What can I say, he's amazing and I want him to be my daddy too. He doesn't even realize he is into this kind of roleplay until he meets Alice. I also like that he hasn't had a string of woman he's played Daddy too. This is special and between both of them.
"I don’t know where these new instincts are coming from, either, but I know with dead certainty that spanking her and walking away was a huge mistake. She needed soothing and it was my duty to provide."
Besides the sexy and steamy roleplay, the love story is just good and fun. Their meet cute is amazing and I love Sebastian's inner dialogue about his feelings for her. This book was definitly swoonworthy! It's on my re-read shelf for sure. Check out my many highlights for more excerpts from this book.
Alice is sorta ambushed to be on a reality cooking tv show by her boyfriend.. well ex boyfriend since she only dated him few weeks and he pulls this stunt. Shes already ready to walk off this show but is star struck by guest World famous cook Sebastian.. love Is already floating between them two even when shes embarrased that her cooking is crap.
But like all couples they have some misunderstandings few times.. he has to be back in London for his restaurants and she wonders if she can leave everything if he ask.. but like before another misunderstanding happens.
I really didnt enjoy the daddy/little girl age play.. I'm okay with some daddy kink.. just not that.
No ow/om drama, no cheating,Tiny drama, sexy times, virgin gal no manwhore

Reread this to get me out of a slump and now I'm going to have to reread the whole series! __ Jessa Kane has done it again! Her novellas never fail to put a smile on my face and fix my insta-love cravings. This was quick, super hot, and even gave me some daddy kink.
Sebastian and Alice had so many sparks and were so good together. I love reading about their romance and relationship being formed. I’m so glad to learn that this is a series and have already borrowed the second book from KU!
Such a sweet story! Of all the DD/lg books I’ve ever read this one was just PERFECT. The two main characters took to it effortlessly, they both found something they didn’t even know they needed, and truly made me feel their love for each other. It was a beautiful relationship from the start and the epilogue made me so happy that years later they still had that aspect of their relationship that made them both so happy finally.
Jessa Kane is the cure to reading slumps. I had fun with this one, it was unbelievable and over the top but in a smutty novella i don't need anything more than chemistry and a great time so it didn't bother me too much.
"A Pinch of Sugar" is the story of Alice and Sebastian.
A OTT sweet yet smutty insta love romance, with dd-lg roleplay, dirty talk, kinky lovemaking, some drama and an adorable HEA- which a popular pastry chef H and a terrible cook h.
This can work for other people, but it just didn’t for me.
It’s an interesting concept, but it was just boring, and so were the kinks included. The hero is also English or something and his dialogue was very bad since I’m sure Jessa Kane is American or just not good at writing non-American characters. The power dynamics between the hero and heroine were not equal either. There’s just something weird about always writing the same virgin innocent heroine in every book you have, especially when this time she’s paired off with a sort of playboy hero. The sex scenes weren’t good either, which is essential to these types of novellas.
Warning: The literal daddy kink of my nightmares filled with so many things I can't handle but had to persevere through because I wanted to see a happily ever after. That's it. That's my review. What a nightmare. This was worse than all other daddy kink books (INCLUDING PREACHER MAN so that clearly says something) I've (mostly accidently) read, combined. But I love Jessa Kane and I love her writing so sighhhhhhh
I love love love this author she has it all in her books. This was deliciously kinky and fun to read.
The last thing Alice was expecting when her boyfriend Clyde said he had a surprise for her was to be blindfolded and entered into a baking reality show. She is the worst baker she knows and is humiliated beyond belief, it’s the end of her relationship and just when she is about to walk out the door her idol Sebastian Cove is announced as a guest judge and with one look offers her the support she was never expecting, so leaving is no longer an option, but when her baking literally falls flat will the man who has starred in her illicit fantasy’s still be interested in her and could she really be about to live out her most secret desires?
Sebastian Cove is a world renowned chef and three star chef, he has no idea why he is guest judge on this ridiculous reality baking show but once he sets eyes on the delectable curves od Alice he knows this is why he is there she was waiting for him but when she disappears he will stop at nothing to find her and make her his. But after a miscommunication it looks like he has lost her forever can he show her that she is different and that they are meant to be?
This is an alpha man and a young woman with daddy issues and Jessa Kane certainly knows how to write these books to perfection. Highly recommended read. 4.5*
A delicious combination of kinky and sweet. It was a short story, so everything was happening way too fast, but I loved the characters and it was hot... So yeah, a good one.
Alice woke up that morning thinking she was going on a tour of a movie studio with her boyfriend, Clyde, but little did she know that he was setting her up to be on a reality tv baking show. Because although she is the manager of the restaurant Landmark in Manhatten, New York, she sucks at baking. She tried baking for Clyde's church on their first date and let's just say that the pumpkin pie was disastrous. After breaking up with Clyde on television and telling the host that she's not doing the show, she goes to remove her apron but one of the judges (aka Sebastian) catches her eye. Making her go against her decision to leave.
Honestly, I don't think I know how to feel about this. I thought I wouldn't like the daddy/little girl kink, but I have mix feelings about it. Like... I got an unexpected lady boner from it. It was unexpected, but I'm not mad at it. Overall, I liked it. It was sweet, a little funny and a lot hot.
I liked both characters in A Pinch of Sugar, they had great chemistry. But I wasn’t a fan of the baking-show introduction, which only served as a place where all characters from the series could be put in, therefore you could substitute it with a park, cinema, gym… basically everything your mind can come up with.
This is pure smut with the little plotline and with daddy kink. Alice got in a baking competition on suprise by her boyfriend. Excuse me by her ex-boyfriend now because she broke up with him. Like what kind of boyfriend you are. Put her in a baking competition knowing she is bad. Anyway, she wanted to left but wait there is the judge who she is having her sex fantasies. So she stayed like why you know you are bad why humility self just because of him. I don't get it. The story is quick. They meet at the baking competition have sex and bum he wants to marry her. They are soo in love. Like I said there is daddy kink. It just happened like how from her being a virgin to saving for someone special to having sex with an older stranger who is a celebrity and has daddy little girl foreplay and sex. Got to tell you I didn't like it. I know it's a short book and erotica but again I didn't feel it.
