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.
Teaser
“I like you a lot, Baptiste.” His words were said in the richest, warmest tone. They shot straight to my heart and spiraled all the way down to my toes. “I like you a lot too, Delane.” “It’s different though, isn’t it?” “What?” “Us,” he said simply. I held his gaze, but didn’t know what to make of his thoughts. “What do you mean?” “Has it ever been like this for you? I mean, in a relationship?” I hadn’t ever really been in a relationship before, so I wasn’t sure what to say. “No,” seemed like an honest-enough answer. “I’ve never felt like this about anybody before.” One side of his mouth kicked up in a half-smile. “There’s something here,” he murmured, his eyes a stormy tempest of truth and raw honesty. “There’s something between us.”
My Review 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Every time i read a book by this author, the books seem to be getting better and better and this book is no exception.
This is the last book in the series and focuses on Dillion, Ezras sister and Vann Delane, Vera's sister. Both are characters that we have seen in previous books and gotten to know a little bit, but now felt for the characters, especially Dillion as we see just how much of a survivor and how strong she really is.
Vann really comes out of his shell and we see more that a sarcastic man, he shows lots of sides of himself, especially around Dillon.
Dillon is still sweet, but we see her struggle as she finally feels comfortable in her skin as who she is now, even if she never really knew who she was before. Dillon carves a name for herself within a kitchen and with a job that really becomes her. She finds a strength in herself to get the job done, and done well.
I really enjoyed this book and the sensitive topic that is woven through right until the end where she finally opens up to Vann.
I was also very happy to get more on the previous books characters as they forge together as a group of friends and become more and more like a large family.
I cannot recommend this series enough.
