Your date with Parisian-trained chef Ryan Henderson promises you’ll get the best meal of your life cooked especially for you. His Red Velvet cheesecake is to die for – but we know he has even better desserts up his sleeve…

How to win a girl in ten cakes…

When Dr. Rachel Cassidy comes back to Marietta with a broken heart and a divorce under her belt, going to a Bachelor Auction fund-raiser doesn’t sound like her idea of a good time – and when her sister and friends “buy” her a dinner date with sexy Parisian-trained pastry chefRyan Henderson, that sounds even worse.

Ryan doesn’t have time for dating – he’s put his dreams to one side and come back to Marietta to look after his sick grandmother. But when he agrees to help a charity fundraiser by offering to cook a special meal to one lucky bidder, he gets more than he bargains for and discovers a woman he might just dare to let himself fall in love with.

Then tragedy strikes, just when Rachel and Ryan think they might have a future, opening up old scars and pushing them apart.

And if they’re to stand a chance of getting back together, then Ryan’s going to have to be seriously inventive. Can he win the love of his life with ten cakes?

My Review  3 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Tule publishing for an honest review**

This book happens in the same timeline as the previous book in the series, however they can be read as a stand alone book.

This is a slow burn read and the story happens slowly, however the ending feels far too rushed for me.  It was almost as if the writer had used up her word allowance, then suddenly realised that she needed to finish the book.

Rachel is a community doctor who was bought a fancy dinner with a local chef who trained in paris and is known locally for his better than sex deserts.  Both have been burned by past relationships and are not looking for anything, however the attraction is there from the beginning.

Ryan came back home to look after his ailing grandmother who looked after him when his parents died.  Cajoled into getting into the bachelor auction by Lily Taylor, he is constantly reminded of his ex and how she labeled him as selfish for going back home to look after his grandmother.

Its a good story, i'm just upset that the ending seemed rushed giving me whiplash.
