If You Can't Stand the Heat is the first book I've read by Taryn Kincaid and I enjoyed it for the most part. This was a cute story and a quick read. I really liked the dynamic between Lu and Derek. She wasn't afraid to stand up for herself when he comes into her restaurant after writing a review that was making the place go under, and he was willing to stand there and take what she was dishing in order to talk with her. Both characters had strong personalities, but they blended well as a couple. I wanted to like this story more than I did tho. Unfortunately there was a lot of telling instead of showing in this story. I found myself wanting to see events play out instead of being told how they played out between various characters. If that had happened this book would have received 4.5 stars from me. The way it is, I can only give it 3 stars, but still recommend reading it because the story was good. *Note: A complimentary copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fabulously fun contemporary romance. Boy’s review hastens decline of the family restaurant. Girl with business degree is trying to save said restaurant but is not the chef her father is. Biy is a a point where he wants to change his life and do what he studied for and follow his passion. They meet and marry to save the restaurant but what about their hearts? The back and forth is riveting fun. This book flew by so fast I totally recommend it.
