This boxset includes:
Cake: A Love Story
Cake: The Newlyweds

From the bestselling novels, Cake: A Love Story and Cake: The Newlyweds, comes a smoldering-romance-meets-survivor’s-tale, laced with mystery, heartbreak, and love. CAKE: The Story of Us is a character driven two-book boxset that packs an emotional punch, while still retaining the light heart of a modern fairytale.

Casey Caldwell has never had grand plans for her life. She’s perfectly happy with the idea of meeting some nice everyday guy after college and settling down near her family. But life doesn’t always go according to plan. Casey discovers that the day she meets Jake, a famous rock star. Suddenly she can’t remember why she ever wanted a simple life. Jake is beautiful and talented and haunted. And he sees her. Whisked away into a world of music, tour buses, and movie-worthy shopping sprees, Casey is introduced to a life she could only have dreamed of. But every fairytale has a villain… and theirs lives inside Jake’s head.

Ten years have passed since Jake took on a killer and lived. He now finds himself on top of the world, a singer famous for the music that helped him heal. He thinks he’s put his past behind him. He thinks he’s okay. It isn’t until he meets the sweet, quirky Casey at his brother’s wedding that he realizes all he’s been missing out on in life.

Together, he and Casey fight to keep their love alive, while battling the physical and emotional scars of Jake’s abduction.





Book One - Cake: A Love Story

'He wants to be known for his music but the world only sees him for his past.'

A 2018 Audie Award Finalist in Romance
A Top Ten Kindle Unlimited Bestseller
A #8 Overall Amazon Bestseller

-A reclusive rock star going through the motions-

Jake McKallister might have been a rock star, but he was no ordinary one. Surviving an unspeakable crime as a young teen had shaped him into a guarded workaholic, and he now lived his life trying to forget. If it hadn’t been for music and the redemption he found through it, he might not have survived. Career success came easily for him. Personal connections did not.

A vivacious college student embracing life-

When outspoken and fun-loving Casey Caldwell was paired with the famously reserved musician for a friend’s wedding, she was prepared for the worst. What could they possibly have in common? She was a bubbly talker; he was a media-shy loner. His life was filled with music; she couldn’t carry a tune. She’d enjoyed a happy childhood; his was a well-publicized nightmare.

-Their worlds are about to collide-

Despite their obvious differences, Jake and Casey found each other, and her light balanced out his darkness. Would their love be strong enough to survive the weight of his tragic past?


Book Two - Cake: The Newlyweds

Winner for Best New Adult Romance of 2018 (Audible)
Voted Best Celebrity Couple (Audible)

You thought their story was over… but a love like theirs has no end.

Fate doesn’t own Jake McKallister. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Life is better than ever. He’s at the top of his game, performing to sold-out crowds the world over. He has his health and a solid, fun-loving family to keep him grounded. And he got the girl - the beautiful, quirky girl he’s just made his wife. Yes, life is good. If only fate would stop screaming in his ear.

Lucky is the best word for Casey McKallister. She has an awesome support system, a nerd’s dream job at a prestigious accounting firm, and best of all, she’s married to the hottest rock star to ever roam the earth. Yes, life is perfect… until it all comes crashing down around her.

They say love conquers all. That’s what Jake and Casey are counting on.

The Cake Series is so enjoyable! The dialogue is second to none. I actually laughed out loud so many times and I don’t usually laugh at too many books. In addition to the plot, the pacing, the dialogue, and the humor, I was so impressed with the uniqueness of each character. I do want to mention that despite the humor this was not a rom-com. There are some very serious situations that occur. I fell in love with them all (almost). I’ll let another reviewer delve more into the details.

I highly recommend this series, in fact, when I finished I downloaded the next book in the series which was also terrific and I’m about to read the third.

Excellent Reading Material

1. Cake: A Love Story

This was such a gut-wrenching novel to read - - so much anguish, pain and sorrow, but love, oh so much love blanketed the characters in its enduring warmth. Familial support of the characters is the backbone by which all faced their life challenges.

2.. Cake: The Newlyweds

Well, if I thought book one was a highly emotional read, book two of the set (and book four of the series) was an uber emotional read that cut right to the quick. As with the first novel in this series, book four also included so much anguish, pain and lay-you-out sorrow. Again though, the enduring, strength and compassion of unwavering familial love and support, was the abiding backbone that saw the characters through exceedingly troubled times.

I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this two-book box setl from Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.

Cake the boxset is a good set of stories that tell us the story of Jake and Casey with a lot of emotion. I felt invested in their journey and I liked this somewhat unlikely couple. I am glad there are other books in this series.

Sarcastic, accounting geek girl meets literal rock star. Love, lust, ghosts from the past and hopes & fears for the future haunt them.

A kidnap victim as a young teen, Jake has many scars that are more than skin deep

Irreverent and touching story
