The Alpha and the Baker by Roxie Ray

I went in expecting cute bakery vibes and maybe a hint of wolf-ish flirtation and instead got full-body FOUND FAMILY euphoria and an MMC so soft, stressed, and stupidly kind he made my heart short-circuit.

This man is a cinnamon-roll alpha leading a whole pack with love, anxiety, and one spectacularly dumb hit-it-and-quit-it moment born purely from fear-induced brain rot.

Did I forgive him instantly?

Obviously. My standards are a joke.

And the FMC??

She goes from orphaned nobody to “surprise, you now belong to an entire PACK who would die for you.”

It’s emotional whiplash in the best way.

Meanwhile she also:

  • outsmarts a flock of arrogant faeries cosplaying as corporate executives

  • shatters “unbreakable” magic contracts with RED VELVET CUPCAKES like she’s running a pastry-powered rebellion

  • after intentionally dosing them with lethal pastries to win a bake-off because subtlety is for cowards

Contains:

  • soft alpha chaos

  • found family that punches you in the feelings

  • magical girlboss pastry warfare

  • pack loyalty that hits harder than caffeine

I inhaled this book like a feral creature in a bakery dumpster.

Five stars because the vibes were immaculate and I clearly have no standards when the emotional comfort hits.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
