This series tells the stories of 2 siblings and their groups of friends. Harry and Allison Bradley are 6 years apart in age but very close to each other and their parents. Mrs. B. being local, acts as Mom to all of them.
Allison and her friends, Elliana James and Savannah Martinez became "sisters" when they were college roommates. They forged an unbreakable bond despite their differences. Now Allison is a chemo nurse, EJ owns a romance book store and Savannah is a talented chef who works at one of her family's restaurants and manages the others.
Harry Bradley, Ed Cooper and Fritz O'Bryan became friends and "brothers" in the Army boot camp. They are combat hardened soldiers who opened a cupcake company when they left the Army. Ed is the baker, Harry keeps the company books and Fritz is the face of the company. Although Ed is the main baker, all of them can and do bake when necessary. Quite a sight to see 3 bearded tattooed brawny hunks baking cupcakes!
Together these three couples can face just about anything. The guys always have a plan. Not that the gals always appreciate said plans!
"Delicious" 5 ⭐s
Allison Bradley met Ed Cooper when he came home with her older brother, Harry, after they finished boot camp. She was 13 at the time and developed a huge crush on him.
Ed's mother was an addict who abandoned him and he has no idea who his father is. After bouncing around in multiple foster homes, he aged out of the system and enlisted in the Army.
Now Ed, Harry and their other buddy, Fritz O'Bryan, have returned to San Antonio and opened Camo and Cupcakes.
Allison fears Ed will never take her out of the "little sister" category. Is the man she thinks of as her Ginger Jesus ever going to put the moves on her? Or will she go after him...
"Luscious" 5 ⭐s
Harry has had a thing for EJ (Elliana) James since he first met her while visiting his sister, Allison, at the University of Texas. Little did he know, she also was crushing on him.
EJ believes in romance in the books she reads and sells. In real life, not so much. Men have a habit of walking away from the women in her family. Both her grandfather and father did. Her stepmother is only 4 years older than her. Her mother and grandmother, like her, are strong Southern women. Her gun toting grandmother is a hoot!
Harry wants to be there to help her but will she find the courage to accept it?
"Scrumptious" 5 ⭐s
Fritz O'Bryan is the manwhore of the 3 men. He loves women of all ages and sizes. He's always up front with his dates letting them know that he's not going to settle down anytime soon, he's just going to have fun. This was true until he met Savannah. It's taken him awhile to really notice her and decide there's more than something that meets the eye about her. She gives and gives of herself to her family and they always expect more from her.
Savannah has always tried to do everything asked of her by her family. However the more she gives the more they want, especially her mother. But until she's willing to stand up for herself, it will always be that way. Finally she has been pushed to her limit and refuses to back down. There's tons of drama and secrets in this family!
When Fritz is thrown out of his apartment for breaking the no pets clause, he has nowhere to go. So he and General McLovin, his Grannie's cat, move into Savannah's home. Of course the cat hates him but loves Savannah.
Will Fritz be there to have her back? Or will he let her down like all the other men in her life have?

Delicious
Allison has had a crush on Ed for awhile and she never thought he felt the same for her. Then one night everything changed between them. Harry told Ed he was going to cancel a date because his sister and her friends were having a girls night and that meant he would be needed to drive them home. Ed offered to fill in for him so Ed was surprised when he actually got the call to go pick up the girls. When he arrives at the restaurant Allison is pleasantly drunk and very open with Ed her Ginger Jesus. Ed only has to take her home thankfully but is worried about leaving her alone so plans to stay. However some of what she has said to him makes him think if she feels for him like he does for her. So the next morning when Alison wakes she has no memory of bringing anyone home with her but hears someone in her home and texts her girls before she realizes its Ed. Walking out in a t-shirt she watches as he is baking breakfast for her when he sees what she is wearing it blows his mind. Allison loves that she is tempting him into giving in to her and pushes him until he does what they both want. Yet later when her brother shows up will he cause things to end between her and Ed before they had a chance to really start?
Luscious
Harry and EJ had one date that EJ deemed The DFH. After those things ended between them until Harry seized his second chance when she approached him with a business proposition. EJ secretly likes Harry but doesn't want to admit it when they go together to the winery to work up another business deal things seem to click for them. They have a rocky start, but things start to go smoothly until Harry starts asking the serious questions about their relationship. With her family's history of failed marriages, she doesn't believe it would be any different for her. Can Harry convince her to give him a chance to prove her wrong?
Scrumptious
Savannah is the chef in her family's restaurant and she wants a week off because her friend is getting married. However her parents refuse so she offers a bargain to work sixteen days straight and then she'll get her time off. Yet when the time comes her mother refuses to hold her end of the deal making Savannah quit because of it. Fritz is losing his apartment because his landlord found out about him having a cat. He took in his grandmother's cat McLovin even though the cat hates him. When Savannah hears he needs a place she offers him a place at her home. Its big enough that they won't bother each other and his place was renovated for an older family member a long time ago. Sparks fly between them and soon Fritz wants to see how things could be with Savannah. What will Savannah do about the family business now that she knows the secret everyone was keeping from her? Can they make it work between them?
This is a great collection that will draw you in from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a collection that any book lover would enjoy.

A scrumdiddlyumptious box set of stories!
Delicious – I couldn’t put this book down! What’s not to love about Allison and Ed who have each wanted the other for far too long, to finally get their chance for a happily ever after! I love how Allison’s friends prod Allison along with stories of how Ed looks at Allison when she is not aware. I chuckle at the frustration that Ed goes through with Allison being his buddy’s little sister. What happens when the best is yet to come? You have to read to find out and hope that Ed doesn’t get pounded by Allison’s brother!
Luscious - Will Harry ever win Elliana’s heart
I love the first person anguish between Harry and Elliana after Elliana called their date, The Date From Hell! Elliana asks Harry to work with her to do some events in her store with their bakery products. Harry starts to break down the wall around Elliana’s heart the more time they spend together. What will Elliana do when faced with Harry’s heart on a platter? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down as you root for Harry to win!
Scrumptious - Fritz and Savannah are perfect together!
The final segment of the Camos and Cupcakes series had my emotions all over the place from anger at Savannah’s family to tears over Fritz’s care of his Grannie Pam to love over Fritz and Savannah’s hard earned story. Fritz was the manwhore until he gets to know Savannah more when she rents him a spare room in her house. Savannah is a workaholic at her family’s restaurant business who seems to always gets the short end of the stick with extra work days, until she says no to a change in her work schedule to attend her friend’s wedding. Will Fritz and Savannah be able to figure out how to have a relationship amongst their meddling friends and family? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down!

This is an anthology of three cute, funny stories about three former Army buddies who opened and run a cupcake bakery store in San Antonio Texas and the women who caught each's attention. In the first story Delicious, we meet the head baker Ed who has been enamored with his buddy Harry's younger sister since they opened the store. Allison is a nurse who has been in love with Ed since her older brother brought him to their family home while on leave...but could a girl's night out with friends be enough for Ed and Allison to get together???...Then comes Lucious where Harry is smitten by Eliana, known as EJ by her friends, the owner of the bookstore across from Camos and Cupcakes...these two had one previous date which didn't go well, bicker and snipe at each other, although the attraction is always there, but when Eliana needs Harry's expertise with a new idea for increasing business for both stores, will working closely together lead to more???...Which brings us to the final book in this anthology, Scrumptious featuring Fritz, the media guy behind Camos and Cupcakes, the one who can charm any woman, finds he needs to move as he has to take his grandmother's cat which is against his apartment lease. Savannah, who works as chef in one of her family's many restaurants offers to let him stay in her home as there is in-law suite not being used...but she works an unbelievable number of hours that never seems to satisfy her relatives...Can Fritz and his cat give her the support needed to stop allowing her family to walk over her??...I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Three great stories in one place. Each of these stories give the reader a wonderful couple who find their way to love. Three men, a bakery and three independent women, what a mixture. There is no telling what will happen between them all. Love is in the air and no one is immune.
Each of these stories is a fun and engaging read. Allison and Ed have known each other since childhood but both are hiding feelings for the other. When that one kiss happens their world changes forever. The two are a good couple and it was nice to see them find their way.
EJ and Harry’s story has its ups and downs. Their story is a sweet one and I enjoyed seeing the two work for what they truly want. The author does a nice job with these two and you will be rooting for love to find them.
Fritz and Savannah fight hard for their happiness. He is more than ready to show Savannah that he will be there for her and that he loves her. Theirs is a slow burn that pulls at your heart.
I enjoyed each of these couples and seeing how hard they worked to get what they wanted. In each story we get a nice romance between the main couple with the supporting characters shining as well. These three books are full of emotion and fun. I was drawn into this world and its characters right from the start and was engaged all the way to the end.

Delicious
Ed and Allison have been in love with each other for years, but neither of them know it. One night with tequila and lowered inhibitors, and the next morning - woooo-wheeee! This story has great banter and spicy times on the bathroom (and the kitchen!) - I loved their declarations to each other, so romance yet giggle-able. A fun read.
Luscious
Harry and EJ had that one ‘Date From Hell’ and that was that. Except… Harry is in love with EJ, and EJ is still in incredibly attracted to Harry. From this auspicious start, EJ and Harry fall into bed together and slowly build a relationship build on shared control and respect, along with heaps of sizzling hot chemistry. I just loved how EJ and Harry’s monologues broke the third wall, with backtalk and humour. An amazing and emotional story.
Scrumptious
This time, it’s Savannah and Fritz’s turn. After reading the previous two books, I had no idea how Savannah and Fritz were going to work together, but they really do! Savannah has a lot of BS to deal with with her family (much of which I did NOT see coming) and Fritz starts off as a great friend… then, they develop feelings! Steamy, deviant feelings! Such a great story full of wonderful families, spicy times and a wedding !

Great 3 in one romance collection. Three gorgeous ex-military men, who now run a bakery, find their ‘one and onlys’. I loved that several of the classic romantic ‘tropes’ are featured here. In the first story, Allison has had a longstanding crush on her older brother’s friend, Ed – little realising it is reciprocated. I enjoyed the way Ed fights his attraction for his best friend's little sister, eventually giving in with lots of steam leading to a sweet HEA. Next sassy EJ (Allison’s friend) meets her match in Allison’s brother, Henry, in a classic enemies-to lovers tale; which heats up very quickly. Finally, Fritz & Savannah, the quintessentially odd couple of the group realise they’re made for each other in a room mates/forced proximity situation, in addition to a ‘virgin heroine’ trope thrown in for good measure. Theirs was my favourite of the trio and I read it in practically one sitting! Throughout the three novels the stories are told from dual pov which makes these engaging reads –especially as the characters break the ‘fourth wall’ on many occasions to direct a comment at the reader. Highly recommended read.

You are going to fall in love with these stories. I guarantee it!!
In DELICIOUS we have Allison and Ed with feelings for each other, but each thinks the other isn’t interested. But it just takes one drunken kiss to show them they are so right for each other. This is a quick, delightfully fun read that you are not going to want to put down.
LUCIOUS shows us how perfect for each other Harry and EJ are. Although their journey is a bumpy one, as with anything that’s worth having, their HEA is well worth the ride. Theirs is a deliciously charming friends-to-lovers tale that you are not going to want to miss.
SCRUMPTIOUS saves the best for last (IMHO). Fritz and Savannah may not seem like an obvious fit, but just give them time to see beneath the surface and the sparks will fly. Their story is sure to draw you in and keep you thoroughly involved from start to finish.
This is a collection in which you will become easily immersed with characters that will seem like friends and storylines that weave a delightful tale that will leave you happy yet wanting more.

Three delicious intertwined romances to eat up. It starts with Delicious - Ed and Allison, who have both been fantasizing about each other, but Allison is the sister of his best friend Harry. Will they cross the line? What will Harry think? I loved Ed who is a baker with treats to tempt Allison and seems to be such a sweet man.
Next up is Luscious - Harry and EJ have a bit of a frenemy relationship, where Harry likes to rile EJ up, and she certainly holds her own. Are they going to sort themselves out and get along? I loved the sassy EJ and Harry who is up for the challenge of her. I loved EJ's mother and grandmother.
Scrumptious - Savannah and Fritz, where Savannah has lacked much of a life outside her Chef position and her family depend on her to keep things running. Can Fritz help Savannah when she needs it the most? I loved Savannah who has great spirit, Fritz Grannie's cat name, but I didn't like Savannah's mother.

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy of this book.
Delicious has to be my favourite book just because of Ed's nickname for Allison: Sunshine. I love it when the guy calls his girl that; it just melts my cold, dead heart. I loved that Ed was a baker and was damn good at his job too. I loved his interactions with his best friends just as much as I loved his hot chemistry with Allison, his best friend's sister.
Luscious, on the other hand, used the trope of 'sister's best friend' and was great too. Harry's banter with EJ reminded me a lot of Josh and Jules from Twisted Hate. What I loved most about this book was Harry's unexpectedly filthy mouth.
Scrumptious had a good plot too, but it was my least favourite because we don't get to see Fritz and Savannah a lot in the previous two books. If the author had created a stronger connection between the readers and Fritz and Savannah, it would have had a bigger impact on us.

What could be better than three sweet treats - how 'bout getting them all together?!? This is a collection of the first three Camos and Cupcakes series which includes: Delicious, Luscious, and Scrumptious and yes, the titles are totally accurate. While each of these books can be read as standalones - the stories follow two sets of three friends. We have our Camo's - former military men - Ed, Harry and Fritz who meet the loves of their lives - Allison, EJ and Savannah - who all happen to be best friends. Each book will five updates on the previous couple so it's good to read in series order if you can. Each book has it's own main characters and storylines. All are well written with a great balance of sweet, heat and some laughs to go along too. I love the bonds these friends have and some of these secondary characters are just priceless. Overall I'd say that Schroeder has a new fan for life and I can't wait to read more!

This is box set of Camos and Cupcakes
Delicious starring Ed and Allison. This one is complicated and spicy. I loved how these two are just friends but both want the other, I loved the drama and the romance in this story. I could not stop turning the pages to see what happened next for these two.
Luscious starring EJ and Harry. OMG these two will have your head spinning from the tennis match of hate to love to hot and heavy to scared and hiding to just right. The drama these two mix up will have you laugh and crying. I loved this emotional roller coaster love story.
Scrumptious starring Savannah and Fritz. So I hated Savannah’s parents and the way her brothers treated her but having the playboy come into her live helps safe her and helps Fritz find a love he would do anything for. I loved the grandmothers and can not wait for the next book.

This boxset contains books 1-3 of the Camos & Cupcakes series. It has some incredible characters and storylines. Below are my individual reviews of the books included. Together their rating rounds up to five stars. I highly recommend grabbing this boxset!
Delicious
I devoured this book. It is romantic, sweet, witty, funny and mixed with the right point of sexy. This is a great feel good read.
Luscious
Fun, sexy and sweet. This is a fantastic read with great characters. If you enjoyed "Delicious" you will definitely enjoy "Luscious". Harry and Ej are great solid characters, that are likable, separately but together they have chemistry that is smoking hot.
Scrumptious
This is the best in the Camos and Cupcakes series. I thoroughly enjoyed this friends to lovers romantic comedy. The passion between Fritz and Savannah. I love the incorporation of the secondary characters; they made that story dynamic.

Melissa Schroeder has bundled all 3 novels in her fabulous Camos and Cupcakes series in one place, and it is a can't-miss collection. Each book in the series is an enjoyable rom-com on its own, but all interconnected through the heroes in the stories - all ex-military current-bakers. Yummy!
Delicious - Ed and Allisons fabulous friends-to-lovers romance.
Luscious - Harry and EJ's opposites attract romance.
Scrumptious - Fritz and Savannah's friends-to-lovers romance.
An awesome supporting cast; sweet, swoony heroes and sassy heroines; and well-written stories with three-dimensional, engaging leads make this a must-read series.

This collection contains book 1-3 in the Camos & Cupcakes series, Delicious, Luscious, and Scrumptious. If I could I would give this collection more stars. Ed, Harry, and Fritz are best friends who open up a bakery together. Ed is so sweet, big burly guy who does all the baking. Harry is the accountant who seems straight laced but is a dirty talker in the bedroom. Finally there is Fritz the face of the company and definitely a playboy. Lots of laughs, friendship, plenty of heat, and a coupled grannies that will have you giggling. This is my first book by the author but definitely not the last. I've already picked up the rest of the books that fit in the Camos and Cupcakes world.

This box set includes three books Delicious, Luscious and Scrumptious in The Camos and Cupcakes series. Each book is about a different couple and everything that they will have to go through and achieve to find that one special person to love and get a the happy ending that they deserve. There will be ups and downs along with great characters, challenges, strong chemistry that sizzles, and a storyline that takes you in and keeps your attention throughout and I definitely recommend you read this box set and you will not be disappointed.

I more than loved thoses books !!
They all have one thing (maybe a bit more loll) in common: the storyline is wonderfully written, easy to follow, consuming from start to finish, with touches of drama and nice doses of steam; it also made me smile, laugh and swoon a lot. :)
The characters are funny, strong, very relatable and passionate; in both their respective work and personal lives.
Highly recommended read; will read it again for sure !

A cute box set..great reading. Three books. The first is a shorter story and the third includes references to the other two. Three couples. Three lovely, independent, different women. Three hot, manly men. The girls are close group of friends and the men share a close friendship having served in the military together. A bakery, a bar, drunken nights and spoken thoughts. Sexy, humorous, disaster date, friends to lovers, romantic as they each pair off for their happily ever after.

Melissa is a literary genius, she is one of the few who will do a series and each story will still find a way to be unique. I wanted to read Fritz and Sam's story when they featured in Juniper Spring: Book 3, and I am glad I got to read it. Camos and Cupcakes follow the love story of 3 friends and business partners. It's intriguing, steamy and romantic. Believe me when I say it started hot and ended hot, it's a page turner and one you don't want to miss out on, no time wasting (especially with Ed and Allison).

Three utterly edible stories full of emotion, steam, and humour.
Hunky, ex-military ‘brothers’ who run a bakery and independent college roommate ‘sisters’ navigating their way through the ups and downs of relationships to find their very own HEA.
Some laughs and some tension and characters and plots that captivated me.
Stories include a best friend’s sister, a playboy changing his ways and close proximity tropes.

Delightful 5 stars. - Three male best friends who run the cupcake shop fell in love with three female best friends. Ed is the baker and he’s been in love with his best friend’s sister, Allison. Allison feels the same and when she found the opportunity, she went for it! EJ and Harry had the date from hell but Harry doesn’t believe that they have no chemistry. With Harry’s persistence, true love wins! Fritz and Savannah are an unlikely couple but a situation throws them together. Of the three stories, this one has a twist! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it.

What a brilliant boxset consisting of books 1-3 in the Camos & Cupcakes series. The characters and storylines are just so very well written and believable.
The books in this set are as follows:
Delicious: What's in a kiss? This is Ed and Allison's story.
Luscious: Do opposites attract? This is Harry and EJ's story.
Scrumptious: When your world goes pear shaped, who can fix it? This is Savannah and Fritz's story.
So sit back and thoroughly enjoy this set of books, you won't regret it..

Big, strong men laser focused to the point of being tongue tied to their women. What's not to like about this beautiful, unput downable trilogy.
Melissa writes amazing stories with depth, pace and charismatic characters. I can quite honestly say that I haven't read a single book of hers that I haven't been completely immersed in and this trilogy is no different.

This is a great collection of entertaining stories. The author brings three hot couples each with their own story to tell. She adds in drama, steam and a ton of emotions as she brings each couple together. They are well written, move fluidly and are terrific reads. Loved each book and would recommend reading.

Do you have a favourite couple?
What a fantastic collection. In Delicious you have Ed & Allison. In Luscious you have Harry & EJ. In Scrumptious you have Fritz & Savannah. Each couple brings both hilarity & tenderness. Will there be a HEA for them all?
This is a great read to enjoy whilst having a relaxing cuppa.

The story started in Delicious with three couple and we follow them in this box set. Stories are engaging and entertaining.

It was sexy, sweet and fun to read.
I love sets, don’t have to wait and easily can go few chapters back to find something I forget or get confused..

I had saved these on my TBR list individually so when I saw the box set, I thought why not check it out as one book? I'm glad I did, it was great to just jump into the next characters story. My favorite out of the bunch was Ed and Allison's story Delicious. I think the other two were fun to read but Ed and Allison's build up was the most enjoyable for me. Very enjoyable reads!.
