I’m a big fan of JJ Arias. I think she writes tension, chemistry, and steam really well. Unfortunately this one missed the mark for me. I liked all the characters and loved the descriptions of food - I wish this came with the recipes! Everything was really creative - it felt like a chef had written it. Unfortunately, I didn’t connect with the romance, and their conflict and the timeline felt forced. It wasn’t for me, but the author will still be an autobuy!

Short summary: When Chef Slade is handed a cushy job catering to four women on an exclusive retreat, she never expects one of them to light a fire in her heart hotter than the heat of her kitchen.
