Started off really good, but the ending fell a little flat for me. Overall 3.5/4 stars

The cook going into the kitchen walk-in fridge when she was stressed gave me life.

Who doesn't love a great queer foodie romance?? I am so here for all the reality food show romances we've been getting lately and this newest from Canadian author Ruby Barrett did not disappoint!
The story is set around Amy, a restaurant owner and Sophie, her celebrity head chef who has recently come out as bisexual. This grumpy/sunshine, dual POV love story had such HEAT both in the kitchen and out! With her restaurant in trouble Amy begs Sophie to help her compete in a reality competition on a show Sophie's ex is producing.
I loved seeing rhe relationship evolve between these two as Amy helps awaken Sophie's sexual appetites and Sophie shows Amy support she's never had before. Perfect for fans of Chef's kiss, Love & other disasters or Astrid Parker doesn't fail and great on audio narrated by Natalie Naudus and Chelsea Stephens.
Bonus: Sophie is French Canadian and there's a great poutine scene, although I'm not too sure what I think about her seafood poutine special! Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

ive hit the point in my life where romances are not fun to read anymore. they just remind me of how alone i am and how i don't have a hot chef to make out with in the kitchen as soon as the workers aren't looking.
