I quit life. Or at least my new job.
My new, fancy, head chef position at one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the city is not turning out like I’d hoped. I’m a mess. Totally out of my element and underqualified, I’ve been thrown into a fiery kitchen and I’m not sure I can handle the heat.
On top of that, my personal life is falling apart. And to make matters worse, my best friend's brother keeps popping up at all my worst moments to save the day.
I’ve never claimed to have it together, but I certainly don’t need a man to rescue me every time I get my heel stuck in a sewer grate. Except that’s what keeps happening.
Vann Delane is pushy and stuck up and thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything. And for whatever reason, he keeps saving me.
Not that he’s happy about it. He’s made it clear what he thinks about my money and dream job and the designer shoes he saved last weekend. He’s not impressed with me and my penchant for disaster.
I’ve decided to stay away from him. I’ve got too many other fires to put out to worry about the something between us that doesn’t have a name.
So, he can give his knight in shining armor kindness to someone else. And he can save those intense glances and butterfly-inducing smiles for the nice girl he’s looking for. And he can deny it all he wants, but I know he likes me.
He says I drive him crazy. But I know there’s something about me that he can’t deny.
MY REVIEW
I adore Rachel's words and so enjoyed getting lost in this book! I liked how this book was so different from anything else I've read lately! I know nothing about chefs apart from a cooking show here and there. So it was fun feeling like you were in this world. Dillon has an interesting past that has made her into a chameleon. I enjoyed the way Rachel lets the reader know what demons her past has that she still fights. And I ADORED the strong, caring woman she is! She might not realize it, but she's spectacular. She has a great group of friends but felt like something was missing. As she and Vann get to know each other, the less he annoys her and he gets under her skin. I liked that he was different and I LOVED the way he was with Dillon. He got her and he was her champion. I loved watching her come out of her shell and really figure out who she was! While this is the last book in the series, I hadn't read any of the others yet (even though I have bought all of them) and I didn't feel lost. Rachel allowed me to get to know these characters and while I knew I had missed the intimate details of the others, I was able to keep up and enjoy this book. HOWEVER, I'm looking forward to starting with the first book in this series! If you're ready for a fresh, sweet, powerful read then this is the book for you! Be sure to grab your copy today!
Teaser:
“We need you, Chef,” Blaze said. It was the first time he had addressed me as Chef and I was immediately floored by the weightiness of hearing that one word. Oh, my god, I was the boss. This was my restaurant. And damn did it feel good to hear someone call me Chef. “I’ll be right there,” I told Blaze. To Vann, I said, “Duty calls.” “Let me know if you fire anyone else today,” he teased. I laughed, unable to help myself. Who was this guy? “You’ll be the first to know.” “Bye, Dillon,” he murmured. My stomach flipped at the familiar way he said my name. “Bye, Vann.” I hung up the phone and dropped it inside my desk drawer. I had a kitchen to run. I couldn’t be thinking about Vann Delane and his surprisingly good advice. Or his shockingly cute butt. Slapping a hand over my mouth to hide my smile, I walked back to the kitchen, pushed up my sleeves and got to work.
