Quick read about a curvy baker and an alpha male. Tori and Keith were so good together. They met when he came into her bakery with his sister and it was love at first sight for them both. Great chemistry and attraction between with a little outside drama from another woman but nothing too serious. If you are looking for a quick escape, then this is the best way to go. You will not be disappointed.

Sweet Easter treat

This quick read was about Victoria (Tori) and Keith. It was another enjoyable OMYW story.

Victoria is a baker, and owns and runs The Slice Bakery. She is full of creativity and wonderfully delicious ideas, but her store is a in a crummy location.

Keith comes into her bakery and she’s instantly attracted to him. She likens him to a billionaire out of a steamy romance (nice thought). But, he arrives with a pretty woman, AND a child. So she immediately thinks he’s taken. What she doesn’t realise of course, is that he’s quite smitten with her straight away too – thinking that her bakery name is just perfect, because she looks like a slice of heaven – swoon… so sweet!

As it turns out, the woman is his sister Kathy, and the adorable little girl is his daughter Bella – that’s another part of the story too! She’s a recent addition to his family, as he had a one-night stand with a woman claiming that Bella was his. There are no physical similarities to him, so he’s quite certain she isn’t really his. Despite this, he’s very protective of her, and with her birth mother being manipulative and negligent, he’s taken on a guardianship role.

As he revisits her bakery, their chemistry only intensifies. Keith thinks about her day and night, and is planning to ask her out. He admits that he doesn’t ordinarily date, but he’s never been as interested in anybody as much as he is in her. And Tori sees him as a ray of sunlight amid her cloudy mornings. They sound like they’d be perfect together!

There’s also some drama, and many beautiful moments – including the PERFECT birthday present for Bella! I can’t recommend this book enough! But, I do wish it had’ve been longer! I wanted more! I needed more!

This was my first read from this author. And I will definitely be going back for more. Looking forward to it!

I liked this short story. It was entertaining and sweet. The characters were interesting. I do wish we found out what happened with Georgette, she needed some major comeuppance!

Keith is a successful businessman and a single father. He never dates because of problems in the past with women. When Keith takes his daughter into a new bakery, the curvy owner of the bakery has him thinking things he's never thought before. He has to make her his.

Victoria (Tori) has just opened her bakery. Her dream. But things aren't going how she thought. When he walks in, she's floored. Tori knows that he's out of her league, rich, hot, older, and he's a dad. That doesn't stop her from fantasizing about Keith. When they are close Tori can't stop thinking about what a future with Keith might look like.

Tori was awesome with her, I'll just look cause I can't have him. Keith was all-in immediately but just wasn't sure how to approach Tori which I thought was sweet. Bella was super sweet too and I loved how Keith was with her as well. Keith's sister and mom were also awesome. I loved Keith and Tori's happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

When Tori and Keith first meet, it's thanks to his daughter's insistence for something sweet. Finding The Slice, Tori's bakery, wasn't easy but once Keith did find it he kept going back. And it wasn't for the desserts. It's continued morning "dates" of Keith picking up cupcakes for his office that leads to an actual date that leads to forever together. That Keith is an amazing father to a daughter who clearly isn't his made him more endearing to Tori.

This story felt fast paced but read at a much slower one. Weird, right? I liked that Keith's sister called him out on him staring at Tori the day they met. It was hilarious that she told on him to their mom, who promptly invited herself on his morning run to the bakery to meet the woman of Keith's dreams. I adored his love and affection for the girl he called daughter even though she wasn't. A misunderstanding and a miracle rounded out the story to a happy ending everyone needed.

Honestly, a good story to read and enjoy, not just for the romance but for the raw honesty and emotion in it.

Easter chocolate and pink hair! This was a cute loving story. This is about Keith, Bella and Tori – well really about Tori and Keith. She runs a bakery that is not doing so well, but Keith’s sister recommends this to him, and he takes her and Bella to it. Bella is too cute in the story. The attraction is there for both Tori and Keith, but she doesn’t think he would look at a plus size when he looks like someone in a magazine. His mother is too much too, but very loving. The cool part of this story is that Keith is a father to a girl that really isn’t his due to infertility problem on his end, but he loves her either way. This has a happy ending like all of Erin’s book and not just for the couple but for the little girl as well.

Tori's bakery is a dream come true, if only it wasn't obstructed by a viaduct. One day, in walks Keith and his family. She immediately attracted to him, but know he's off limits, assuming he's married. When he returns her interest assuring her he's single but Bella is his daughter, chocolate cupcakes and Easter eggs won't be the only thing baking in her shop.

It's a very cute story with a happily ever after. For a quick read, the plot is developed, but I would've like a little more drama. Bella's mother walked away too easily, and I never learned if guardianship was resolved. It's very honorable that he choose to raise her knowing she's not biologically his. And Tori jumped right in to help. Good read.

Tori just opened her bakery but its not at a good spot so she doesn't get a good traffic flow of customers. Keith's sister tells him about the bakery so one day they go in with his daughter Bella. Keith is drawn to Tori and knows that he'll be back to the bakery until he can claim her for his own. Tori can't keep her eyes off of Keith even as she helps Bella pick her treat. Keith doesn't waste anytime getting Tori to agree to go out with him. However will someone from his past ruin their budding relationship before it has a chance to bloom?

This is an amazing story that will hook you from the first chapter until the last one. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Brilliant last book of the series Victoria loves baking and has saved all her money and bought her self a shop but not many people come in as another road was built to close. Keith enters the cake shop with his daughter Bella and one look at Tori and he has to have her for the rest of his life after not dating he knows what he wants and needs. Tori can’t believe how things are moving so fast but all feels right until she finds Bella’s mum in Keith’s bed. Tori runs from the apartment to her cake shop where she starts baking or she will fall apart only for Bella and Keith to walk in as she forgot to lock the door one look at Bella is telling Tori about not believing what her mother said and one look at Keith’s face she knows this is true her heart belongs to him as much as his belongs to her.

It’s too funny that sometimes you do not realize things until after you have read something. I did not realize until I was writing this review that this is an age gap romance. Erin Havoc does not really focus on Keith and Victoria’s age difference in His Curvy Easter (2020).

Havoc focuses on the relationship between Keith, Victoria, and Bella in the short story - the important people in the relationship. The chemistry between Keith and Victoria is undeniable. Havoc is slick in how she brings in other people to view the relationship. Kudos for those ideas.

I enjoyed this quick story for not only its happily-ever-after, but also for the sweet journey Havoc takes us on to get there. Now I need a chocolate cupcake...with sprinkles.

Victoria aka Tori owns a bakery she has put everything into the shop but she gets no customers because a viaduct has been built in front of her shop so no one can see it. One day Tori’s doorbell chimes she’s so excited because she finally has a customer and when she see’s the man he’s the most gorgeous man that she has ever seen and Tori’s heart starts to pound but then it stops when she see’s him with a beautiful woman and a little girl Tori is very disappointed he’s married and she will never be the other woman. That’s all I’m going to give you guys at the end of this book there are a couple of epilogues which I loved and there is also a link to a free book how great is that?. This is a fantastic Easter story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

[Heather Collins · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this sweet, funny, and spicy insta-love story between Tori, the curvy pink haired baker that's been just a bit down on her luck and Keith the older hot single dad who runs his own finance company.

I absolutely go ga-ga for insta-love stories with intensely sweet and obsessive MMCs and this little novella did not disappoint; the spice was as delicious as Tori's cupcakes. 😜🧁 3🌶️

I did feel like it needed more editing though, especially for it only being 60 something pages.

Favorite quotes:

"But none of the women I’ve ever had was anything like this one. None of them ignited this possessive need inside me. This hunger, this ache."

"This woman. I have to have this woman. She’s mine. She just doesn’t know it yet."

This is Keith and Victoria (Tori) story. Tori is a baker whose new shop is near a viaduct. She does online advertising in order to help her bakery. One day, Keith and his daughter Bella walk into the shop based on what Kathy, Keith sister, told him about the shop. Instant attraction, crazy baby momma drama, misunderstandings, and Bella love for chocolate help to make this a quick, quirky read just in time for Easter. Good characters. Love Keith mom is wanting to meet Tori so that she can the woman who has captured her son and granddaughter heart.

Tori is working hard to make her bakery a success. She loves to bake and is currently working on some Easter treats. She is unfortunately not very busy because of the location but she still continues to work hard with new recipes, social media, and marketing. Keith gets dragged to this little bakery and is left speechless by the stunning beauty behind the counter. He can't help returning to get treats for his staff. Will he ever work up the nerve to ask her out? The characters are genuine, relatable, and determined. The storyline is sweet, passionate, and emotional. Great read!

I loved Keith and Tori's story. It was the perfect blend of sweet and steamy. Tori is struggling to keep her bakery open when Keith comes in at the insistence of his daughter Bella. Keith becomes instantly obsessed with the young pink-haired beauty. Tori cannot stop smiling after her first date with Keith. Keith is the most handsome man she has ever seen and she is quickly falling in love. There is some drama with Bella's mother but Keith will not allow her come between them.

Keith gets dragged into a bakery. Problem is he's not a sweet eater but he sure wants the baker. Tori (Victoria) opened her bakery but business has been really crummy since the built the viaduct and sorta blocked her in. She's losing her dream to bankruptcy. But things look up when Keith finally asks her out. Insta love and so steamy. Keith finally gets his dream. Read the story to find out what that dream is.

This is an easter delight that everyone needs to read.

When Keith comes in to Tory Bakery he was shocked his sister found this delightful shop, but the shock was the baker herself Tory makes his heart skip a beat.

Tory is down on her luck and the customers are thin... but the minute she sees Keith and his daughter everything changes.

This book is a delight to read.

Keith can't believe the beautiful curvy woman behind the bakery counter. He's fascinated by how she interacts with his daughter and how kind she is. Something about her makes him want to settle down. Will she feel the same?

Fascinating quick read capturing the magnetism of love at first sight. Havoc has a remarkable skill of creating diverse and appealing characters that definitely fit the opposites attract theory. The main characters definitely have chemistry between them. This book is well written with great dialog and descriptive scenes. Perfect read to curl up with on a damp, cold, and rainy day.
