This audio is narrated in dual by Chris Chambers & Meg Sylva.
Tropes:
Workplace Romance (with major The Bear energy)
Disowned Rich Girl / Poor Boy
He Falls First (and hard)
Curvy, insecure FMC
Emotional healing through food and smex (yes, in that order)
Content Warnings:
Drugs use, Gaslighting, emotional abuse, rape (off-page but impactful), panic attacks, and toxic family dynamics
This was a reading I never know I needed.
The story is not just spicy (because it clearly is) — it’s deeply emotional, sometimes uncomfortable, and often romantic (“I am telling you I love you with food” level of romance).
Ozzy is the sweetest yet a broken guy that you didn’t know you wanted. Trust me.

I love a found family story! Having spent a decent amount of my young adult life in the food service business, a lot of this rings true. Not exactly the chef with the heart of gold, but the trauma bonding, late nights after closing, and the slutty line cook certainly do.

I initially thought I was going to hate James, I thought she was going to be a whiney, rich spoiled, entitled brat…. I loved James she was none of the above and she proved she was just trying to find love and make her way in life. Ozzy was everything, the dirtier the better….

If we avoid the Snickers incident - this was pretty okay. I felt the ending was a little rushed. We spent most of the book focusing on Jamie’s demons and Ozzy was so supportive and amazing
But then he’s going through his own trials and he won’t tell her about it until we’re almost done?
It also felt like neither of their issues were resolved - did Jamie go no contact with her family? What about Ozzy’s dad?
I just felt the ending could’ve been better flushed out.
But I enjoyed the characters and the spice.

I was swept away by these characters especially Ozzy. It was really a lovely, funny, sweet, heartfelt ride.
