When Tessa Markham’s bookstore gets bought out, she is forced to face an uncertain future. After her best friend challenges her to start baking, she accepts—even if the last time she baked wasn’t what she would call a delicious success.

After a small kitchen fire, Tessa’s life begins to change. She finds encouragement from a sexy fireman, agrees to a questionable ruse to help another business owner with a complicated situation, and needs to be there for her best friend now more than ever.

Can a delicious disaster lead to a new future and a successful baking career?

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019
I really enjoyed Isabella Louise Anderson's previous novel, Cards From Khloe's Flower Shop, so I was excited to hear that she had a new one out and added it to my TBR as soon as I received it. The premise sounded like it would be fun, so I knew I'd be in for a treat.

The story is enjoyable for the most part. I liked the characters and the plot kept me turning the pages, as I wanted to know what would happen for Tessa. Isabella's descriptions made it easy to visualize people and places. I really liked her friend C.C. a lot and want her to have her own spin-off story. She almost "stole the show" from Tessa in some ways. And Brye seemed too good to be true. I'm sure readers will want him as their book boyfriend.

I'm really hoping that I had an advanced reader's copy as opposed to a final print because some polishing was needed in terms of structure and continuity. I also had a hard time believing that someone who almost burned her house down while baking a cake from a mix could suddenly turn into this fabulous cake decorating professional. Even so, it was interesting to learn about the process of decorating a cake and different ways to work with icing.

Overall, the story lived up to its premise and it inspired me to follow one of my dreams!

Movie casting suggestions:
Tessa: Laura Haddock
C.C.: Tessa Thompson
Jake: Matt Lanter
Brye: Ryan Paevey
Javier: Jay Hernandez

3.0 out of 5 stars Tessa was better for person for all the trials she went through...
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019
In Delicious Disasters, I liked the message that even after you think your life has ended that there is always hope for a new normal. It was great to see that Tessa struggled with her new venture. She was not some kind of magical baking guru that baked one cake and became an amazing success. She failed, sometimes epically, and had to sit down and commit to learning what she could the good old-fashioned way. She developed a passion for baking and it was her passion along with her friends supporting her that helped her develop her baking skills but even then, Tessa was realistic about what she was capable of. Great messages!

There was another aspect to this story that was comical in a way but I can’t say I loved it. At the start of this story Tessa’s life was at an all-time low because her dream of owning a bookstore had fizzled. Another aspect of her life that was lacking was her love life but not for long. Shortly after selling her business and being caught up in what to do next with her life Tessa met two men, Jake & Brye. Not sure what either man was looking for, she spent time getting to know both of them and Tessa managed to get herself caught up in a whole lot of drama. She made some choices for the wrong reasons, which did not go well for her, and she managed to create a bunch of losses in her life. Entertaining for those who enjoy that sort of thing.

In the beginning of Delicious Disasters, Tessa was quite self-absorbed and all her choices and feelings reflected that but to give her credit, she had also just been through quite a loss. Reeling from the professional loss, Tessa wasn’t truly thinking straight and with her poor choices came hurtful situations. It wasn’t until she started to really take a hard look at what she was doing that Tessa started to grow as a character. I am always a huge fan of character growth and can say that this is the kind of story that you have to stick through until the end to truly appreciate. I definitely rolled my eyes at the situations that Tessa got herself into and I am not really the biggest fan of drama but by the end of Delicious Disasters I was glad to see that Tessa’s life had run a whole new course and that she was a better character for all her trials.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delicous Disasters
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020
Delicious Disasters is a cute story about trying to find what makes you happy. After losing her bookstore and needing to find a new focus in life, Tessa turns toward baking after the encouragement from her best friend. Plenty of disasters occur – including a kitchen fire that sparks a connection in her love life – but I enjoyed seeing that Tessa didn’t give up on learning something new. Because I am a fellow undomestic goddess with plenty of kitchen fails under my belt, it was a little hard to fathom Tessa going from starting fires to being an amazing baker with very intricate cakes, but it was fun to imagine. There are a lot of layers to this book – from the friendship angle to Tessa’s tangled love life and more – and while sometimes the dialogue and inner thoughts didn’t come across smoothly, I was still interested in Tessa’s journey and see how the story would wrap up.

3.0 out of 5 stars She goes from book lady to cake lady. Writing was pretty good.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019
After a long time, Tessa finally decided to give up the bookstore that had been in her family for years. “Like with life, they say when one door closes, another one opens. For Tessa, she wasn’t only closing a chapter, but she was also closing a book, and she didn’t have the slightest idea of what to read next.” (9)

Now battling boredom, Tessa desperately wanted to get her career back on track. The question was: What should she do? How could she start her life over when her whole life was books? With her love of cooking, how about becoming a baker?

So that’s how she goes from book lady to cake lady.

Story has a leisurely pace—slow and steady. Writing was pretty good. Although I liked Tessa’s excitement for a new venture, I was also saddened when she left her book world behind. Instead the reader follows her journey as a baker, which can be kind of fun but also tedious at times. I’m not much of a baker, so I don’t find the process to be particularly interesting. I was really more into the “disaster” portion of the story, which really wasn’t as comical as I had hoped. But I think readers would enjoy the enthusiastic camaraderie as well as relate to her follow-through on a whole new chapter of life—or, in this case, a whole new slice of life.

3.0 out of 5 stars A light, easy read story of a woman changing her career and rediscovering her herself.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019
An okay read for me. A few lags here and there. I got more interested in the story about the halfway point on. Nothing wrong with the story, I just wasn’t feeling the main character, though she redeemed herself later on. A light, easy read story of a woman changing her career and rediscovering her herself.
