Cooper Bailey Is A Cinnamon Roll by Jen Atkinson: Book Review

The Book

I’ve hated Cooper Bailey since high school. So why would a few years, a set of swoon-worthy forearms, and one shiny new law degree change anything?

Leah Bradford’s never been a fan of the spotlight—not years ago at her high school prom and definitely not now with the drama her ex-boyfriend is causing. Running her cinnamon roll shop is all she needs, thank you very much.

Cooper Bailey’s had it all—looks, brains, an ideal life. But one career-defining case gone wrong and that favored life is spiraling. He’s back home and determined to do better. He’ll be a helpful son, a dependable brother, and the best uncle ever, all while clawing his way back to a respectful place in his career.

Enter Leah. She’d rather run a marathon in high heels than be in the same room as Cooper Bailey. One problem–she’s broke with an idiot ex who happens to be suing her. Cooper is willing to take payment in sweet rolls–that is if he can convince her to take a chance on him.

Is Cooper still that cocky jock from high school or will he be Leah’s cinnamon roll hero?

Cooper Bailey is a Cinnamon Roll is a laugh out loud, kissing only, enemies to lovers romcom. It’s perfect for anyone who ever had a cute high school nemesis or anyone who secretly wanted one.

Book Review

Cooper Bailey Is a Cinnamon Roll is the fourth book in the Another Bailey Brother series. While you might have a better understanding of the family dynamics if you've read the previous books in the series, I do think this could be enjoyed just fine as a standalone as well. 

I have loved every single book in this series, but I don't know that any of them has made me smile quite as much as this one. This book was just such a fun read! Right from the start, I found myself literally laughing out loud with the story of how Cooper ruined Leah's prom and senior year of high school.... the first of many moments that had me giggling. (The boat wedding? Alice? I loved it all.) The banter between Cooper and Leah was fantastic and the chemistry even better. I loved how persistent Cooper was in trying to make up for his past mistakes. It was impossible not to love him...as Leah quickly figures out as he helps her with some legal issues with her ex. This was such a fun addition to the series, and one you absolutely don't want to miss! 

Cooper Bailey Is a Cinnamon Roll is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
