Cinnamon Roll Set Up by Genny Carrick: Book Review

The Book

Give me a book boyfriend over a real guy any day

After the way my parents destroyed their marriage, I prefer my romance fictional—for myself, anyway. When my best friend, Miles, needs a date to an awards ceremony, I'm more than willing to set him up. I’m his ideal matchmaker because I know the shy bookstore owner better than anyone, and I'm completely impartial.

He agrees on one condition—if my setups don’t work out, I’ll be his date to the gala. No problem. Finding him the perfect match will be easy. He’s the kind of low-key hot cinnamon roll that makes bookish girls everywhere swoon. Who wouldn’t fall for Miles?

But I start to suspect he’s sabotaging his dates so I’ll have to go to the gala with him. And I might not be as eager to set him up as I thought I was.

Because it turns out, I’m not impartial at all. I’m very, very partial to Miles. He's better than any imaginary book boyfriend I could dream up.

But if our not-so fictional romance falls apart? I’m not ready for the very real heartache.

Cinnamon Roll Set Up is a matchmaking gone wrong, friends to more romcom with sizzling kisses but no spice.

Book Review

Cinnamon Roll Set Up is the sixth book in the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series. This is a multi-author series and all books can be enjoyed as standalones or in any order. This book does also take place in Magnolia Ridge (the same world as the author's previous series of the same name) and we see some familiar characters, but you can definitely enjoy this one without having read those too. 

Simply put, I absolutely ADORED this book. The pining and the letters!? Oh my goodness! I always love a good 'he falls first' story, and Miles certainly did just that. So, when she decides that she's going to do some matchmaking and find the perfect woman for him!? Well, things certainly get interesting! She has some reservations about real life romance, but I loved seeing her coming around to realize that she might just be the perfect woman for him after all. Miles was such a wonderful character--- I loved all the different sides to him... and when he goes protective of her!? Yes, please. (There were definitely some 'touch her and die' vibes with this one and I was here for it!) This was friends to more done right, with a perfectly slow burn (on her side anyway) and all the fall feels... and I could not get enough! 

Cinnamon Roll Set Up is a closed-door romance with kisses only. It does have a bit of innuendo and minimal minor language.
