A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic (Adenshire #1) by J. Penner
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Delightful tale of a young woman who lives to bake (and bakes to live) whose world is turned upside down when her adopted father orcs enter who into the famed Bake Off—the Langheim Baking Battle.
Arleta Starstone’s problem is that this is a magical baking competition. Only elves and persons imbued with magic can enter, can’t they? Arleta is human. Can she even compete?
Arleta’s baked delights are loved by all her taste them in her home town of Adenashire. She adds little touches of her human magic to the mix, a dash of thyme, or a touch of lavender, wild blueberries, bay leaves…
Before she’d been orphaned at sixteen Arleta’s greatest delight was to bake with her mother, herself an avid baker, who’d taught Arleta everything she knew from the time she could hold a mixing spoon.
Arleta is fetched to Langheim for the Baking Competition by a very handsome elf. She’ll make friends with some of the competitors—a warm hearted dwarf, and a somewhat shy and rebuffing fennex. She’ll run afoul of some of the judges and competitors who would have her ousted from the Competition.
But just maybe Arleta will find her true love.
A lively read complete with romance, intrigue and lasting friendship.
