Rival Secrets
by JD Carothers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this book! I went in blind and I’m so happy I did. I don’t normally listen to any kind of mystery or thriller books, but this romantic mystery had me hooked! I was absolutely obsessed with figuring out who the culprit was, and the chef game show mixed with a secret prince was such a unique idea for a book in my opinion.

Evan and Callie meet after Callie gets chosen as an alternate to compete as a chef. Evan is friends with the Athena hotel owner and comes to Las Vegas as an escape from his life as a prince. They have an instant attraction! Meanwhile, mysterious and dangerous things start happening during their time at the hotel, but you’ll have to read to find out what happens next!

I love how determined Callie was as a chef! I thought she was unique and I also absolutely adore chocolate so I felt like we would be besties. I loved her chemistry with Evan!
