About this listen

Joe Arden and Narrator Hall of Fame inductee Andi Arndt deliver a perfectly layered performance in Cake, a romance about finding love and redemption in unexpected places.

Quiet and aloof rock star Jake McKallister and outspoken, vivacious college student Casey Caldwell are polar opposites: Casey is bubbly and talkative; Jake is reclusive. Casey enjoyed a picturesque childhood; Jake’s childhood could only be described as a well-publicized nightmare. Jake’s life revolves around music, and Casey can’t carry a tune.

Music saved Jake, yet he lacks the outgoing personality expected of a famous performer. After surviving an unspeakable crime as a young teen, he becomes a guarded workaholic who desperately attempts to forget the past. Career success comes easily for Jake, but he struggles to make personal connections.

Despite their differences, Casey’s light harmonizes with Jake’s darkness, a balance embodied in the unexpectedly warm and humorous dual performance. Can the sweetness of true love overcome Jake’s tragic past?

This is the first book in the Cake series, a collection of contemporary romance novels focusing on the lives of a famous family.

I wasn't sure if I would like this or not, but I was really so very pleasantly surprised. There is so much more to Jake than meets the eye. He has been through a lot, but can still love fiercely. I enjoyed the insight to his softer and more down to earth side. He had me laughing and he made me cry. I want a Jake!!!
Casey, what a strong and independent and level headed woman. I fell in love with how amazing Casey's character is. She is funny and loveable and heck I am in love with her.

The whole story was beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed listening, that epilogue, had me ugly crying.... don't skip the epilogue, not that you could with that ending anyways!!!

Adored the narrators, they brought Casey and Jake to life, they gave them the most amazing personalities.

You HAVE to read Cake...it will have you laughing, it will have you crying, it will have you rooting for the girl next door, and swooning over the lovable singer. Just wait for the families, they are a hoot!!!

As sweet as Cake!!

Cake is a wonderful story of love overcoming tragedy. It's both fun and sad at times, with a plethora of great characters especially Jake and Casey. I highly recommend it! Great narrators too!
