Tory Baker is a mom of two teenagers and a dog mom to one wild and active Weimaraner, Remi. She lives in a small coastal town on the east coast of sunny Florida. Oftentimes you’ll find her outside soaking up the rays with at least three drinks surrounding her, a wandering imagination, and a notebook in hand where she’s jotting down a plot for her next story. She’s a lover of writing happily ever afters with Alpha heroes and sassy heroines.
Ms. Baker gives us another amazing read. Safe and insta-love at its finest. No mention of either past, no abuse, no angst or drama, no cheating, epilogues at 1 and 3 years. A great love story from meeting to babies and a HEA. We also get fainting goats named after the 3 Stooges. Freaking awesome.
Short novella from Tory and can be a standalone but has some characters who have their own books already. Little steam and much fluff.
Travis is finally home and finally going to make it up to his sister and her man (they have their own book) but before he can apologize be gets some bake goods to help his case, enter Raelynn the cute adorable baker he's already head over heels for, and he waste no time asking her out. Their date was different then most dates lol feeding her goats and a drive in movie (I WANT THAT!!) pretty much they have a slow-insta relationship.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary characters, sexy times, no virgins or manwhore
Recommend- yes/maybe Cover-⭐⭐⭐
Slowinsta Safe Masturbation No condom Hea Epilogue
i absolutely freaking LOVED Sticky Situations! Love at first sight with no real drama or danger just a super sweet love story. Ohh and I must not forget to mention the goats!!! I love goats and these guys are awesome!! A very happily ever after.
Completely safe and free of any kind of abuse or cheating. No ow/om drama. No others after meeting. No mention of previous relationships/partners.
Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read. I absolutely love it.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
We met Travis is his sister Taylor's book and what I saw of Travis truly intrigued me. He loved his sister and stopped at nothing to protect her when he was overseas and couldn't, but couldn't fully handle the fact that she was grown and fell in love with his friend/former-teammate. I knew Travis would have a hard row to hoe when he finally found his someone because of the faux pas he made with Taylor.
We see Travis, newly arrived home and out of the military rushing to makeup with Taylor before even taking the time to shower. He decides to stop into a local bakery to get some sweets to ease his way with Taylor when he meets the bakery owner, Raelynn. Raelynn is not only a world-class baker, she's as hot and sexy as a warm glazed doughnut. Travis is instantly drawn to Raelynn and Raelynn knows a good thing when it walks in her door and rings her bell (literally). The dynamic between Travis and Taylor/Slade and Raelynn is what family is all about--I love the fact that Raelynn's family is supportive of her and her menagerie of domestic animals. Raelynn knows who she is and isn't ashamed to put it all out there. She has a heart of gold and a spatula of sin. Slade's not-so-hidden laughter at Travis adapting to being a couple is icing on the cake, so to speak. I think the thing I love most about Tory's characters is that you can fall in love with the alphas so easily and connect with the heroines so effortlessly. I wanna be Raelynn. I wanna love like Travis gives her. I wanna live my life surrounded by life, love and happiness. If you need a break from real life but prefer to do it in a steamy book, pick up a Tory Baker novel and read it. You can get lost from your problems and close your kindle with a smile on your face with something good to dream about.

Loved Travis an Raelynn Sequel to Claiming her. Can be read as a stand alone. Travis Daniels returned to his military duties after his sister was safe, leaving her in the hands of one of his best friends, but not on a good note. He has completed his last deployment. Now retired from the SEALs. He is back in town and needs to make right with Taylor. The Cake N Bake is the place to start. Neither can resist a sweet treat. Travis likes what he sees in the 50s style bakery and blown away by the pin up girl owner. Raelynn Smith has made her dreams come true. She is owner of and baker at her own bakery. She even found her dream home, outside of town, with acreage, for her her other love, her fainting goats. Now she is going out with the hottest man she has ever met. The brother of her friend Taylor. Travis and Raelynn just click. Travis knows she is the one. Raelynn is not there yet, he is willing to wait. A sweet and steamy. Loved Travis and Raelynn. Great epilogues. Can't wait for Drake and Bridger's stories.
I just adored everything Tory Baker writes. Not only are her stories filled with amazing men and women and explosive chemistry, but at the center of every tale is heart. Families that are friends, friends that become family, loving and supportive extended families. Every story is filled with warmth and love. This story, in particular, is a new favorite of mine. First, I loved how this connected to the Nighthawk Security series. I was thrilled to learn that Travis was getting his own story! Second, Raelynn marches to her own beat. She's feisty and caring, loving and dedicated, but definitely does things her own way not matter what others may think. Third, Travis is just genuinely a good guy. He's changing his life, making amends with his sister, and is a protector to his core. While definitely an alpha, he's willing to be silly and sweet and vulnerable. I cannot say enough good things about this story. It is well worth your time and effort. I will most certainly be reading it again, and soon! Happy Reading!
Brilliantly written. Travis is home after leaving the navy he needs to visit his sister and make up with her after the way left last time. Travis drops into a bakery his sister has a sweet tooth when he sees the owner wow this is the person to spend the rest of his life with and the family they would have now to make her his. Raelynn has for forgot to put the closed sign up on her door however she is pleased this time after talking to Travis he invites her out for a meal that night. Travis and Raelynn are hardly apart except when he works nights after getting the job of town sheriff. One morning when Raelynn turns up to work Travis is there but with a young boy who had been trying to break into her shop. Once Travis tells Raelynn Max’s story they know each other that well it has only one outcome he goes home with them and do everything they can so he can stay.
Short novella that tells the coming back of a NAVY Seal to ordinary life. Travis has retired and, before meeting his sister and telling her the news he decides to stop by a bakery (news are better delivered with sweet treats!) There he meets Raelynn and an immediate attraction develops.
Raelynn is no ordinary girl. She is determined and independent, she owns the bakery and has a soft spot for rescuing animals (she has five goats! So cool!).
As it is a short story (less than 100 words) there is no much depth in the relationship and many things are dealt with superficially, but their interactions are really sweet. It would have been great to have had more “book” to learn more about the characters because they are really good people with great hearts and feelings.
There are two epilogues which are fantastic and help you really envision the characters and their future. HEA guaranteed!
Read before “Craving More” (Nighthawk Security Book 2)
You should read this AFTER “Claiming Her” (Nighthawk Security Book 1) and before “Craving More” (Nighthawk Security Book 2). I really liked “Claiming More” and bought it after I read it thru Kindle Unlimited. Thankfully I also read this thru KU because I would not want to buy this, sorry. 😕 I was reading "Craving More" and they kept talking about Travis and Raelynn so I stopped reading that and researched where I could find Travis's story. If you have KU and you want to read Nighthawk series I say read this but I wouldn't buy it. It really wasn't that s;) e;) x) y;) and completely bypassed their first time together 😠 They are at her bakery getting all hot and then driving home to get it on... And next chapter is "One Month Later"!!!! Not cool! Lol
First things first; I like the cover of this book! Sticky situations is book three in the ‘’American heroes’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. After retiring from the military Travis is back home. Whilst visiting his little sister, he meets local bakery owner, Raelynn. The chemistry between Travis and Raelynn is clear to see and I liked them together. I really liked the introduction of Max to the story. I loved how instantly Raelynn and Travis bonded with Max. I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.
Travis Daniels is back home, well what he considers home anyways. After his last trip home to help save his sister and leaving with a heavy burden of how his life was turning out, he decided it was time to leave his service life and embark on a new beginning. What he didn’t expect was everything to fall in place when he stopped at the local bakery and saw Raelynn Smith. One look at this sweet treat and Travis knew she was everything he wanted to make his life complete. And lucky for him, Raelynn felt the same longing. They fell effortlessly and deeply, completing the other.
This was such a sweet and romantic couple. And it was perfect timing for a military Hero and his adorable little pinup sweetie. Baker gives us all the feels with a helping of gratitude.
I’m obsessed with Tory’s books and this one was no exception. Travis comes home not only to make amends with his sister but to start over after retiring from the Navy. His first day back he meets Raelynn and realizes he’s got a whole new reason to stay in town.
Their love was fast and full of smoking chemistry. Just like I’ve come to know and love about Tory’s writing. Travis is all alpha and has no problem showing his love for Raelynn while still maintaining control in the bedroom.
I loved that there was a back story and how on the same page they were about Max and what to do with the adorable 8 year old. It was clear as day that Travis and Raelynn were soulmates who just hadn’t met yet.
I was so excited when I heard that Ms Baker was writing Travis' story next. He was a bit of a jerk in his sister's book but it came from a place of love. He has finally left the military behind, ready to have a life stateside and build his relationship with his sister. He walks into Raelynn's bakery and he is hooked. Raelynn is quirky and adorable. She rescued goats, how awesome is that?! Their attraction is immediate and there is no question that this is very real. Another fun, not to mention sweet romance from the lovely Tory Baker. Do yourself a favor and pick up this adorable escape from reality.
Awww I love Travis! He's your absolute definition of a Alpha hero! He decided after years of being away from home, to retire from the service ( military) and try to make things right with his sister Taylor. In the meantime he meets Raelynn ( at her bakery) and boom Sparks fly. I love Tory's story's because they're refreshing to read. You get hot alpha males and sassy sexy female leads, who just know deep down the they're the ones for each other! It's nice to read a story about love and compassion without all the drama. Such a fantastic read, I really enjoyed it! Definitely looking forward to the next story! Great characters, awesome story line! YAY!!!
Wow, I did not expect this book to be sweet and funny. Steam level mild Sweetness over the top. Travis is Taylor's brother from Claiming Her. Rea is super funny and delightful. She owns a bakery and bought a large farm and land to house her rescue animals. Travis is no where near the grumpy sniper we met. Their is no action or suspense just a true love story. Some fainting goats to add some flare to the story. Nighthawk Security characters are present and accounted for. We are graced with a new character eight year old Max. Travis after all his time fighting for his country settles down in a small town as the sheriff and claims the women of his dreams.
I liked this story a lot. It was entertaining and had tons of feels. The characters were interesting and likable. There is so much about this story that is over the top wonderful I'm not sure where to start! The way Raelynn and Travis hit it off when they met was sweet. Travis deciding to do things that not only help Raelynn but make her happy was amazing. Raelynn being supportive of the decisions that Travis made me super happy. I loved how important family was to both of them and not just blood family, but their extended family that included their friends. Raelynn and Travis had an absolutely gorgeous happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.
I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because you’re all over the place with your books. Instead of making them all part of one series which would make so much more sense I literally had to search out each one and several were read out of order which really bothers me to the point where I don’t read the next book if the characters are mentioned in the previous one because they were out of order. This book was in a completely different series with different authors even though it should’ve been in the nighthawk series along with Eastons book. But besides the hunt for each book the stories are awesome!
I was so looking forward to Travis's story and I was not disappointed! For the most part anyways. Travis has left the military and is in town to make amends with his baby sister. And that's when he meets the bakery owner Raelynn. He immediately knows she is special and asked her out. Its a great plot with likeable characters and red hot romance, however it just felt....to perfect. Like all the boxes were ticked off without effort. Everything happened so easily.... Anyway, if you like a easy and sweet romance with some hot zbd sexy scenes this is for you. Highly recommended
Romance genre: instalove Series: American Heroes Length: 96 pages
Plot: Travis is finally out of the military, and he stops to pick up some treats at a bakery on the way to visit his sister. When he sees the owner of the bakery, he decides he'd like to pick her up instead. He quickly starts a relationship with Raelynn, getting to know her and spending time out at her farm while also getting a job as sheriff.
Character development: The main characters meshed with each other right away. This was very low-drama. Maybe no-drama. Honestly, there wasn't a lot of action. It was "we like each other, we get to know each other, we spend more time with each other." Technically well-written. Satisfying epilogues.
**I received an arc in exchange for an honest review** I am loving the Nighthawk Security Series and this book was just as good as the first two. We met Travis in the last book and it was great to get to see him have his HEA. Also, fun to see Taylor and Slade a bit. Raelynn is a bakery owner and she meets Travis when he first comes back to town and stops to get a sweet treat to bring as a peace offering for his little sister Taylor. As soon as they see each other sparks fly! This was a quick fun read.
A retired military man and a baker/bakery shop owner?!?!? It's like Tory had me in mind when she wrote this book, those are two of my top favorites!
Absolutely adored this short, sweet and steamy read. Travis and Raelynn really just fit together well, their relationship may have moved quickly timeline wise but while reading nothing felt rushed, it really flowed organically.
Leave it to Tory to find a way to also add in some laugh worthy moments and a big swoony moment too (and that wasn't even romance related. Ha, that's all the teaser you are getting!)
I really did enjoy this one and makes me want to read more by this amazing author!!
A super hot love story! Travis and Raelynn had such chemistry and led to some pretty steamy scenes. The storyline was short but cute and also sweet too. It was a great short story to read! I really did enjoy this one and makes me want to read more by this amazing author. Definitely want to really Travis sisters story, so going to be one clicking soon. This is perfect read for your lunch break or just before bed. Happy reading everyone!!
This one is a cute and to the point novella. From what I understand, Travis' sister has a book that is separate from the American Heroes series. I have to say I was curious for her story, so I did pick that book up. Raelynn is an adorable character. I loved that she had her bakery that she loved owning and working with kids. Then going home she has a soft heart for animals that need shelter. She had adopted 5 goats and was readily open to adopting more animals. Raelynn is the soft and tender that Travis needs after going through a military career that has in a way hardened him.
2.6 stars for me. I liked the characters, and I thought the story was cute. But there were definitely moments where the dialogue made me cringe inside. And the plot made some random turns that kind of seemed like they were just picked out of a hat. Not bad turns in my opinion. They just weren’t infixed into the storyline enough to make it feel natural to me. And the sex. It was ok. There could’ve more. It could’ve been hotter. I will say I think it fit the characters. I just enjoy when the straight laced characters add a little spice to their life, ya know?
Travis is back in his home town after serving in the Navy for what seems like a lifetime, after coming home earlier to save his sister he took off again without a word but now he’s back and is looking for forgiveness from his best friend Slade and his sister Taylor. Looking for a way to sweeten his sister up before showing up at her door unexpectedly Travis comes face to face what can only be described as his saving grace, his one. He’s all in to woo his little pin up baker girl, and it’s a good thing Raelynn wants the same thing ... it grows into a sweet love story with a side of naught goats for a cute laugh to little Max that warms our hearts during these tough times! As usual Tory knocks it outside of the park again with so many feel good moments!❤️
Travis is a retired seal and Raelynn owns a bakery in town, first time seeing Raelynn Travis realizes she is the one. Raelynn is a little crazy meaning she has five goats she reduced and she lives an hour away from town. Travis is also Taylor brother who is in the nighthawk series, you get to see what happens with their relations as well. While this is a quick read, it is filled with a lot of adventure and love
