I wanted to like this book so bad. I love cooking competitions and I was very excited to read a book with a non binary main lead.
But the book was... boring? I hate to say it, but I was not very entertained.
I wanted to love the food competition, but there wasn't enough of it to have any tension or anything really cool about it. It was there solely as a setting and a convenient excuse for a third act break. I wanted that part to be cooler.
And personally I'm not a fan of insta-love. I don't need a total slow burn, but something instant is unbelievable to me and doesn't work. I needed to see the romance build more. (Also, toe sucking will never work for me. *shudders*)
I struggled with my rating for this, as I really appreciate the individual struggles and the queer representation. But the rest just didn't work that well for me, unfortunately.

I have a big doofy grin on my face and it won't go away. The only issue I had with this story was the amorousness when mic'd. London, dearest, you are a audio engineer you should know better than anyone else that your mic could be hot between takes.
I liked the intimacy of their relationship. It made the explicit scenes seem more intimate than spicy, which is something that I quite liked.
2.25
Boring. The Characters were barely explored, the cooking competition aspect was barely explored, the romance was just another bland instalove story with no real depth. However, it was a quick read, even if it was wholly forgetable.
