Whisked Away at Christmas gives you everything you want in a Christmas tale, and a whole lot more you didn’t realise you needed.
Set during a bakery competition in Vienna, The Golden Whisks, Nick and Gina have a history that might get in the way of their ambitions.
With mouth-watering descriptions of cake, a formidable and flawed female protagonist, Gina, and a handsome, yet insecure, chef in Nick, Whisked You Away at Christmas is fun and exciting.
It’s original and whisks (sorry, had to) you away to a world you don’t want to leave. I couldn’t love it more. Christmassy perfection.
Love. Success. Baking. Some things are all about timing.
Set against a backdrop of glamorous balls and designer fashion in beautiful, fairy-tale-like Vienna, the Golden Whisk competition promises everything for Gina Rajasinghe: it’s her big break, a chance to prove herself and win international recognition in the culinary world. The opulent concert halls and charming Christmas markets are a far cry from her humble café in Hackney, where she’s been working hard to perfect her baking skills. If only she could relax and enjoy herself, instead of worrying about her application, and the one or two tiny lies on there. Such as the professional training she never had.
And then there’s Nick Barradine to worry about, fellow competitor and media darling who seems to have it all: money, success, and his own patisserie cafés that have been heralded on both sides of the Atlantic. Oh, and he used to work with Gina. In fact, they used to be close: Nick helped train Gina at his family’s prestigious Barradine’s café back in London, until she disappeared three years ago without an explanation.
It seems they must learn how to work together again, but more than sparks fly when Nick confronts Gina about their shared past. And now there’s a video of the two of them on social media…
Whisked Away at Christmas is the perfect festive romance for listeners with a sweet tooth: a must-listen for fans of Jasmine Guillory or Jessica Redland.
