There is absolutely zero hate going on here, I LOVED this book! Finn is a dream, well worthy of his cinnamon roll title, the sweetest and swoonest guy out there, how could you not love every single bit of him. I challenge any reader of this book not to fall in love with Finn!
Marci? Well she just needed some time to warm up and catch up, because, hello? Finn is more than enough to melt the cold black heart Marci has, and she knows it! Marci’s internal monologue had me in stitches, this is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a while, her sarcasm is so on point, very similar to myself, so I connected with her so easily. If you love verbal sparring and a good old HEA, this book is for you. It’s honestly going into my must re-read pile for sure!

This is the kind of book that wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater on a crisp autumn day—warm, comforting, and impossible to put down.

Marcella is convinced that being too nice is a red flag—especially when it comes to her charming billionaire boss, Finnegan Marsh. Determined to escape her job, she accidentally signs herself up to be his wife instead. What follows is a delightful mix of accidental commitments, contractual dating, and the kind of slow-burn romance that sneaks up on you like the first magical snowfall of the season.

Finnegan isn’t your typical brooding billionaire. He’s sweet, thoughtful. Watching him gently crack the walls Marcella has put up, one kind gesture at a time, is absolutely swoon-worthy. Their chemistry is electric, but it’s the soft, quiet moments, the lingering glances, the shared laughter, the vulnerability—that really steal the show.

This book is sprinkled with laugh-out-loud moments and witty banter, and just the right amount of swoony romance to make your heart flutter. Sweet, funny, and full of heart, this story will leave you with a warm cozy feeling and a smile on your face long after you've finished the last page.

I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I enjoyed this book and I loved the inside look to living like a billionaire! I really didn't connect with or enjoy the FMC that much but it didn't ruin how cute the book was. Excited to read more from this multi-author series!

I love the grumpy sunshine trope in this Fall themed romance! It was cozy, funny, steamy, and overall a great read! the FMC wasn't my favorite at all, but the MMC definitely made up for it!

This book was the perfect autumn romance read!

Finn was simply the most perfect book boyfriend - although I would’ve liked for the book to dive a bit more into his emotions - and Marcella was very adorable as well.

Together, they do form a pair that feels like they are soulmates and destined to be together forever.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love billionaire trope! And this one was no exception. Enjoyed every minute I read. It is apart of a multi author series so if you loved this I highly recommend reading the others as well!

The beginning of this book was very slow but then I got into it! I don’t necessarily love the title of this book. It feels a bit random. I liked the character development in this book.

I think this book was very sweet. And I loved the reverse grumpy vs sunshine. Finn and Marcella are just the perfect match. Billionaire romances never disappoint as we all get to live vicariously through them. Definitely a fan and look forward to reading many more from Camilla Evergreen. 4 ⭐️

The story is beautifully written, and I truly enjoyed its quirkiness and uniqueness. Finn and Marcella make the story perfect, and I like that it doesn’t get unnecessarily complicated and resolves conflict logically.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley.

This was a cute and different love story that I really enjoyed! Thank you for allowing me to read and review this ARC

This book was the perfect fluff read to break up a book slump.

I loved the writing and both characters; Marcella and Finnegan!

This was my first Camilla Evergreen book and I'm just not sure she's for me. I know she has some die-hard fans out there and I appreciate that she has a quirky and niche style within the romcom genre. I just don't think her writing style along with some darker elements and humor are my personal vibe. I did love ALL the fall things...pumpkin patch, Halloween town, apple picking, baking, etc. It did give me all the feels where those things were concerned. And Marcella and Finn had some really sweet moments (the wedding scene was perfection and made me cry). I just won't be rushing to read another of Camilla's books any time soon.

⭐⭐⭐.5 rounded down
🌶️

This was a perfect fall read! I laughed so much and loved all the characters. I loved the quick wit comebacks too! When you find your perfect soulmate they get you! Thanks to the author and #Netgalley for this oh so fun read!

Finn is a billionaire looking for a wife. Little did Marcella know when she was a bit drunk when she completed the application , that it was Mr. Marsh.
When Marcella goes I to work, her boss calls her into his office. YES, he is smiling... always smiling!
Mr. Marsh let's Marcella know he would like to marry her...
Marcella has many issues. She is very protective and has 2 friends, she dislikes most everything and is so poor.
Finn asks her to try being his girlfriend for 3 months. Marcella has conditions, Finn doesn't blink an eye.
What happens in 3 months is Finn is able to get Marcella to open up, accept life and fall for Finn.
Finn gets a wife, friends, family and the love of his life...never to be alone again.

I’m not sure this writing style is for me. Book was okay but didn’t pull me in due to the style of writing. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance but right now it’s just meh.

I read this book in one cozy start of autumn evening and it gave me all the cozy vibes. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it will not be my last, so talented with story weaving. Thanks to the author, NetGalley and publishers for the arc.

Marcella Keyes is struggling. Her debt from the loan she took out in college for her dad’s hospital treatment is only building up. She doesn’t even have a bed. On her birthday, she has had half a bottle of wine when she stumbles across an ad to marry a billionaire by Christmas. So, why not fill out the 200-question-form right?

Finn Marsh is trying to find companionship. That’s all he really requires. His mom isn’t expected to make it through December and once she’s gone, he’ll be completely alone. What he didn’t expect, was to fall head-over-heels for his assistant who claims that she didn’t mean to fill out his marriage questionnaire.

The first in a multi-author series (Cinnamon Rolls & Pumpkin Spice)!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️5/5

He's the roll, she's the spice...

Marci wants to quit being an assistant to her boss, Finn, because, get this, he's too nice. She's the grumpy spice. Finn really is a cinnamon roll, sunshine guy. He bends over backwards and isn't above using blackmail (or in this case, paying off a portion of her massive debt).
I really liked Finn.
No spicy times.

Hating the Cinnamon Roll CEO by Camilla Evergreen was a fun workplace enemies to lovers story.
It was the perfect start to the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series.
This was absolutely delightful. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The characters were charming and witty. I highly recommend this fun and quick read.
A fun romcom. And I enjoyed every second of it! A wonderful book to start my fall reads with!

Oh YES. This is such a fantastic read, and I always love finding a new-to-me author! What a delightful twist on the rich guy romance, and perfect vibes for fall!
