This book is a combination of so many things that I love in books–humor, romance, and food! Turner makes the reading experience so totally enjoyable. This is her third book, following The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck and Wooing Cadie McCaffrey (which I also recommend you check out!)
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links, see disclosures for more detail.
About the Book:
Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanaugh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel’s other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.
When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum, he’s sent packing to get his life in order. When he returns, career in shambles, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public’s good graces is to work alongside Hadley.
As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along, but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love. In the meantime, hide the knives.
My Thoughts:
I gave this book 4/5 stars
Bethany Turner is really making a name for herself within the romantic comedy genre. Her humor is spot on and her characters always have great interplay. This book is no exception–the chemistry between Hadley and Max is delightful and their back-and-forth banter never failed to bring a smile to my face.
Even the deeper issues of the story are handled with grace, and made me care about the characters even more. Plus…it features cooking shows! If you’re a devotee of the Food Network and other such shows, you will certainly feel right at home reading this book (and more than a little hungry as well).
There is so much to adore about this novel, go order it right now!
