The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett
5.0
The Romance Recipe was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it was worth the wait.
There is so much tension between our two MCs, Sophie and Amy, it’s delicious (see what I did there). Amy is a restaurant owner who hires Sophie, a former reality-show finalist, to be the restaurant's head chef to help with her ailing restaurant.
The book starts with our two MCs butting heads; Sophie wants the freedom to do her job (run the kitchen and create the menu) but Amy, who is a little of a control freak, does not make it easy. Now I love a good enemy-to-lovers story, especially when both MCs have crushes on each other, but are too clueless to realize their feelings are reciprocated, so let’s just say I enjoyed the back and forth between Sophie and Amy, especially since the book is written from both characters POV.
Are there tons of miscommunication between Sophie and Amy? Duh. Did I want to bang their heads together to knock some sense into them? Of course I did. Would I yell about this book for the rest of my life? Obviously. The Romance Recipe is worth it. It shows you that you’re never too old to find yourself, that it is okay to open up, and to trust other people to be there to help when needed. Plus it’s super steamy!
5/5 stars.
