A Tasty Dish by Kelly Cain
fast-paced
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and author Kelly Cain for the advanced listener’s copy of A Tasty Dish. This review is left voluntarily and contains my own thoughts and opinions.
This is apparently the second book in a series. in the Everheart Brothers of Texas series. I actually had no idea and came into this book at book 2. I don't think you need the first book to follow this plot and these two characters but I'm guessing there are lots of Easter-eggs I missed out on!
I'm all for the black love in this story. The book is told entirely from Kasi Blythewood's POV, our female protagonist, who "has spent most of her life in the shadow of her famous film-producer father who’s deliberately kept her under his thumb with tough love." Her love interest is one of the Everheart brothers, Declan, is the son of a Michelin-star chef, a family of chefs, but isn't entirely happy with his current role.
Both characters come from different families but have dad issues. The sexual tension is palatable. But there are a few too many plots and characters. I really wanted more form the family (which now makes sense because this is one book in a larger series). I do appreciate the growth from both characters but wish we had more scenes where they were on set. If you're someone who wants a constant location, you won't get one, cause we're always on the move!
If you like:
✅ Two strong, driven main characters
✅ Lots of food descriptions
✅ Really complicated family issues
