Frothed by my Monster Espresso Beast: One girl. Unlimited steam. (Sweet Rise Bakery - A Kitchen Monster RomCom)

Frothed by My Monster Espresso Beast
Sweet Rise Bakery, Book 3
A Why-Choose Monster RomCom

Her stand mixer and rolling pin already turn into devastatingly hot immortal monsters. The espresso machine in the crate was not part of the plan.

Three sentient kitchen appliances. The Flour Council wants to harvest her.

Abby Dixon makes the best bread in Portland, eats her feelings in croissant form, and has, through no fault of her own, bonded with two supernatural kitchen tools who become unfairly sexy after hours. She had a system. The system was working.

Then a steaming, humming crate is delivered, and out comes Espressiano: a former three-cup Moka pot turned six feet of magnificent operatic copper, thrilled beyond reason to finally have steam wands and a great deal to say about all of it.

The trouble is, every new bond makes Abby louder, and the Flour Council, an ancient grain cult with a taste for "harvesting" women like her, is already listening.

There's a contract on her counter she can never satisfy. A clock she didn't start. A creepy regular who turns out to be her only way out, if he can hold a memory long enough to tell her how.

She's got fourteen days, a found family she'd burn the world for, three immortals who love her, and one impossible choice: keep her head down and lose everything slowly — or get loud, get powerful, and dare the people who want to take her to try.

Sourdough has never been this dangerous. Or this much fun.

What's inside

• Why-choose / reverse harem — she doesn't have to pick, and the boys have made their peace with the arithmetic
• Monster romance with actual monsters — chrome, oak, and copper, and yes, they have attachments
• Cozy small-town bakery vibes with a deeply uncozy supernatural threat
• Laugh-out-loud banter and a sharp, self-deprecating narrator who talks to her sourdough starter
• Steam that fogs the windows (and occasionally the ceiling)
• Found family that will catch you when you fall and then argue about whose fault it was
• Real recipes included — bake along, if you dare

This series is best read in order.

Start with Creamed by My Monster Stand Mixer (Book 1) and Pounded by My Monster Rolling Pin (Book 2). Each book continues Abby's story, so jumping in at Book 3 will spoil the fun (and the bonds) you've been building.
