A divorced woman. A nonbinary. A cooking competition. And the love story begins.
Dahlia feels so lost after her divorce- cooking saved her, giving her purpose and energy to face the day.
London bonded with their nanny over food- cooking a way to build a lasting bond.
Dahlia literally runs into London her first time on the set. London is assinged the station behind Dahlia, her hair lending them courage.
While winning competitions, Dahlia and London build a friendship.
I loved these characters, their honesty and vulnerability.

Sweet, I really liked both main characters, but I'm not sure I was totally sold on the chemistry between them. I also wished there had been more scenes on the cooking set!
emotional hopeful medium-paced

Great plot. Very believable. Fast paced read. Spicy scenes were also believable between f/nb characters.

This is a sexy, hilarious, and touching romance book. I love the characters, and the plot of being on a food competition show was fun. We love a non-binary representation! 

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title. Queer romance is quickly becoming my favorite genre, and this one was fantastic! As a nonbinary person, I loved reading about a nonbinary protagonist, and thought the author did a wonderful job representing that experience. Even if not for the romance, I loved the storyline and was anxious to find out what happened in the cooking competition around which the book is centered.
