Beautifully Baked

Having read “Perfectly Played” before its companion, I liked how “Beautifully Baked” started off with Flora and Dean's non-weddings - but from M.K. and Clay's perspective, of course - and continued to show glimpses of already familiar events throughout the story.

I knew I already loved M.K. and Clay before I even started this story, so I was rooting for them from the get-go, even if it was no secret that they'd get their HEA.
But... all those near-misses in the beginning! Gah! :D And I particularly enjoyed the close friendships between M.K. and Flora, and Clay and Dean respectively.

An unexpected yet absolutely delightful crossover with Holly Kerr's Oceanic Dreams story “I Saw Him Standing There” added an extra layer of happy for me. (Perfectly played, Ms. Kerr, so to speak... ;) )

Now... how about Adam's story?
