I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Kyle needed to get back to cooking and away from women. After his stint with his ex he just wants some down time. Except the ranch he took the chef job for turns out the have the hottest woman he's ever seen. Problem is they think he's still married and there's a no fraternising with the guests or other staff rule. Jamie is mad as hell, her best friend was fired and now this guy shows up and takes her place. He may be hot but he's got to go.
There's a lot of angst in this book. I loved reading and getting to see how these two people fight their attraction for each other. The whole time I was wondering if they'd fail and realise there's something there. I got so drawn into the story, I couldn't help but to feel their emotions as the story went on. And have some envy that I didn't have a hot chef to cook me gourmet meals too hehehe.

I am in love with Somewhere, TX and Moonbound series, so when I saw a chance to find more about the witches that are mentioned but never really seen, I just had to read it. And it was pretty good!
You won't see the familiar faces, which was a little disappointing, but the world is still great. The Banfield family is a bit complicated and I wish I had understood more of the family dynamics at the beginning of the story. There were a few confusing parts when it came to who knew about magic and was able to actually do magic. I had lots of questions until I found out more near the end.
Kyle and Jamie are an unlikely but fun pair. I'm a sucker for a chef hero, and he is one heck of a chef. Jamie is a great character as well, although the whole hiding their (sort of) relationship was a little strange. They are both adults....so....I just didn't completely understand the reasons, and the one given didn't quite fill out the way it should have.
The story is a lot of fun and a good introduction to this part of the world, I'm hoping since we have a bit of it all built up the next book can really take off.

Hidden magic and matchmaking family members combine into a great story! Set in the Moondbound (Somewhere, Tx) world, this has a handsome helping of cowboys, magic and treacherous staff and friends!
Mattie is fed up with her older brother dictating the rules on the ranch. Yes, her friend was caught in a compromising position with their brother, but she was the only other female on the ranch to talk to apart from their mother. When he instigates a no fraternisation rule and married personnel only, she is left reeling.
Kyle is looking for a fresh start after his very recent divorce and loss of his renowned restaurant. But he feels an unusually strong pull towards the decidedly unfriendly Mattie! But when they are out on the trail of a matchmaking ride, interference from Mattie's mother and her magical herbs may lead them into hot water!
I did enjoy this story but Mattie was kind of hard to engage with at first. She was so wrapped up in her friends POV that she never seems to think that there could have been ulterior motives for her behaviour or that her loneliness was being taken advantage of. Kyle was a dream and any man who can cook up meals like that is my kind of guy!! Looking forward to more in the series as I really want to know what happened to Paul!
