A transparent, gender-bent Bon Appetite fanfiction.
If you can overlook that, or are into that, it’s solid.

adorable! grumpy type A chef x sunshine extrovert kitchen manager was a very cute pairing and i found this book very readable and entertaining even though there was very little smut (until the end) . always impressed when a romance novel can stand on its own without smut.
it could be a little cheesy at times, and the transphobia got a little intense. but overall pretty good representation of trans stuff and good examples of how cis people should (& shouldn’t!) manage their emotions. the food all sounded delicious and i loved lisette and simone and ray :)

This was a cute rom-com that I devoured in one sitting. The author seamlessly wove in vital character details in a delicate way that helped me feel immediately attached to their story. Simone and Ray have such a sweet relationship and I liked the cooking element.

Such a cute story but the romance was so forced. And the ending? That ending was rushed, out of place, and so weird.
