Full disclosure that I love a story that involves a hero who’s involved with cooking and delicious food. This one involves an ex-hockey player who happens to both cook well and be a pastry chef. He wins over the heroine by not only being handsome and gruff, but also by showing her love through food. I liked the book and characters very much and found the happy ending to be sweet (in every way). I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Delicious!
This book is delicious for soooo many reasons. Emma and Lucian are both lovable and broken, their friends to lovers stories is sweet and sensual. However, the sugared carbs that Lucian made told a story. They were their own character. Lucian used these kitchen creations to secretly woo and communicate his feelings for Emma. It was it's own love story. I want to find the nearest French pastry shop and buy ALL THE THINGS. Seriously, the deserts were so decadent and described in such detail my mouth was watering! Not from Lucian's hotness - which is a thing - but from his baked goods!
The story that unfolded between Emma and Lucian was slow but beautiful. It is a slow burn friends to lovers and these two beat up broken souls slowly healing and getting to know each other was a dream to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt like Emma & Lucian complimented each other so well, it never felt forced. They just sort of fit together perfectly—LOVED IT.
