Publisher’s Blurb:

With his special cupcakes and paranormal abilities, Ethan Gallagher was able to attract the man of his dreams.

Baking is Ethan’s passion and he’s renown for his tasty and seemingly magical cupcakes. His dreams become reality when he’s called upon to cater his sweets to a science fiction convention his brother is running.

Callum MacLaughlin is one of the panelists his brother has contracted with for the convention and incidentally also the one Ethan’s been in love and lust with for the last four years. Ethan figures he’s well overdue to let the astrophysicist know just how deep his feelings go, and the con is the ideal setting for it.

His dreams aren’t the only ones coming true with his special sweets – he’s made sure to spread a little of that magic around to his brother and best girl bud as well.

Review:

I’ve never read anything by T. A. Chase, but Ninja Cupcakes was a perfect introduction. I’m not going to lie; initially the title caught my eye and I thought, “I love cupcakes and I think ninjas are cool.” How could I NOT at least give this book a go? I was thrilled with what I found! Smartly written, Cupcakes introduces us to Ethan, a baker with a little secret ingredient of his own. He came across as warm, compassionate and goofy (at times) but utterly sincere in his patient pursuit of Callum, his crush of four years. I thoroughly enjoyed the build-up between the two characters and even more so how they truly seemed to care for one another beyond the heat of passion.

Even though this is a short story I didn’t feel the least bit cheated by its length. Sure, I wanted more; but that’s because I was emotionally invested from page one and wanted to see how the two of them made out further down the line. Heck, I even enjoyed the secondary characters almost as much as Callum and Ethan; to me that’s a quality piece.

If you’re a fan of male/male romance, or even romance in general I would highly recommend Ninja Cupcakes by T. A. Chase. It will satisfy your cravings for something sweet and sexy for sure!
