Cocktails and Dreams by A.L. Michael

4.0

I love foodie books, but I was not prepared for how much I would like this book. The scenes and dialogue was well written and I liked Savvy, she’s a very relatable main character. I really connected with her, she’s a lot like me. “I’m too calm, I’m too reserved. I’m, quite frankly, a cold fish. And that hurts, but it’s who I am.”

I like how the fact that she's a culinary genius in the beginning but it gets tempered by the scene with Ricardo showing her the things she doesn't realize that she needs to know, ie, how many people she needs in the kitchen or how to calculate how much food for a large group. It gives a much more believable feel.

Goodreads has part of the title as: (Martini Club #1). If the series continues, I would love to read them!
