All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes Lib/E by Betsy St. AmantMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Though I did feel like I have read a similar plot before, I enjoyed the audiobook a lot.
This was my first book by this author, and I enjoyed her characters and the banter and connection between the two friends.
Their non-communication was sometimes frustrating, but being friends for so long, I can understand why both held back on taking a risk on saying how they feel. Rather stay friends than lose the friendship after an awkward conversation – though the readers had the privilege to see the internal thoughts and feelings of both.
I loved how Lucas pushed Kat to follow her dreams and how he protected her against unfair treatment.
If you enjoy light romance and friends to more stories, this story should be on your TBR.

About the book:
She's written a recipe for her future, but does it include love?
Katherine 'Kat' Varland is a small town girl, born and raised---and every day, her dreams of owning her own bakery get further away. She has no money, and the cupcake shop she bakes for, Sweetie Pies, seems to get smaller and smaller. Kat might be the sweetheart of Bayou Bend, Louisiana, but she longs to make a name for herself where she can flourish as Kat---not as the girl baking someone else's recipes.
As head coach for the Bayou Bend championship high school football team, Lucas Brannen is used to winning---everything except his best friend's heart. He finally gathers the courage to make a gesture and show Kat his feelings by signing her up for the popular reality TV show Cupcake Combat. But his plan backfires after he realizes the cash prize for the winner also includes a one-year baking contract at one of New York City's most famous pastry houses.
The situation grows sticky when Kat enlists Lucas's help as her baking assistant for the show. Lucas is torn between helping Kat live her dream and selfishly wanting to keep her in town. His plan has always been a dozen acres of land and a farmhouse in Bayou Bend---but Kat is blinded by the stars in her eyes.
Will Lucas and Kat risk their chance at love in order to achieve their individual dreams? Or will they find that sometimes the most delicious happily-ever-afters begin and end in the same place?
