this was alright! i’d say 3.5 stars, i liked the story but i didn’t love ….. most of it. i didn’t love the main characters. the plot was okay, kept the plot moving, but i didn’t love the way the characters were simply lusting after each other for no reason other than they were attracted to each other. the food sex scene i could have….. done without to say the least (as well as the toe sucking. no thank you). i liked when other characters from the nashville series were mentioned!! definitely the least strongest book of the series. helpful for world building for the other books, but not a strongly written book in general.

London’s weird flirting technique of criticism over Dahlia’s drink choice and then saying “I definitely listen to indie rock bands that you don’t listen to” like please, respectfully, shut up.

Light and fluffy and fun to read. LOVE the Canon enby and queer representation
This cooking competition brings the heat in this new queer romance from Anita Kelly! Dahlia's life is a bit of a hot mess-- she just quit her job, got divorced and gave everything up to compete on this cooking show, with no training. On the other hand, London has little to lose, they are independently wealthy and want the prize money to do good in their community. However, they are the first non binary contestant and their dad is not accepting of their identity. Despite getting off on the wrong foot, London and Dahlia quickly become allies in this game but are hesitant to evolve into more, despite their obvious chemistry. Can this shomance last after one of them inevitably wins the competition and the other loses? Read this steamy romance to learn more about this fun couple and get lots and lots of recipe inspiration :)
Bonus points for non binary rep and for cooking show presence, but story itself was just so-so and the steamy bits felt forced
