# Sweets For Love (a steamy Christmas in July Baking Rom-Com) by Elodie Now
Ready to meet your next book boyfriend in this steamy rom-com from author Elodie Now? “#Sweets For Love” is a delicious mix of a grumpy former bodyguard and a stubborn single mom, caught in the sugar whirlwind of a Christmas in July baking show.
My small-town bakery could find its recipe for success on the Happily Ever After channel’s baking competition. And a dash of toe-curling passion could be just the secret ingredient for warmth that lasts years. But love? That’s not on my menu. Or is it?
Alessandro Torre, my very own tattooed Thor, returns into my life with those familiar broad shoulders, alluring half-grin, and smoldering-dark eyes that once melted me like butter. I thought I had taken my last bite of him. Yet, as fate would have it, we’re stuck together, just like our best sugar glue recipe.
Once a grumpy bodyguard, now he’s the head of security of Sweets For Love – the very show I must win to save my bakery. I will keep my oven mitts off him. Well, perhaps, except for one sinful night. Just one. Right?
No one else can know about this secret recipe of ours. Because if they do, we might lose everything.

Frequently Asked Questions – # Sweets For Love
- Do I need to read the other Love in Swans Cove books before # Sweets For Love?
Nope! Sweets For Love stands completely on its own. One sweet bonus for series readers: Aisling is sister to Sorcha from The Leftover Bride, so if you’ve met the O’Connor sisters already, this is their next chapter, and if you haven’t, you’ll fall right in with zero homework. - Do I need to read the Love in Swans Cove books in order?
Not at all. Every Swans Cove book is a standalone with its own couple and its own happily-ever-after. Reading in order just means more cameos and familiar faces.
Suggested order if you want it:
– Once Upon a Christmas Eve (prequel)
– Most Eligible Scrooge
– The Leftover Bride
– Sweets For Love

Yes. It’s Aisling and Alessandro’s complete story, start to finish, HEA guaranteed. No cliffhangers (still not that kind of author). - How steamy is Sweets For Love?

Aisling’s a single mom and her daughter is part of her world, but this is firmly a warm, funny, swoony romance with a guaranteed happy ending. heart, not heavy but still emotional. - What does “Christmas in July” actually mean here?
It’s a festive baking competition for the Happily Ever After channel that celebrates Christmas in the middle of summer… all the cozy holiday magic, none of the snow.
