A Tasty Dish by Kelly Cain
3.0
This was my first book by Kelly Cain. I was really intrigued by the premise of a woman trying to secure financing for her dream documentary project and the Michelin starred Chef's son she falls in lust with and is then forced to work with. Sparks fly instantly when Kasi and Declan Everheart meet at an Austin film conference. I gotta say I was a little surprised by just how STEAMY this open door romance was. If you like the steam level high this book is definitely going to deliver!
What didn't work well for me was how much I felt the story dragged a little in the middle. I didn't fall in love with these characters. They felt a bit one-dimensional. Each was trying to find their own path out of the shadows of their famous fathers. Their relationship was really rocky for me too. One minute they were tearing their clothes off and then the next she was cutting him out of her life completely.
That said I'm still interested in reading the first book in the Everheart brothers of Texas series. Recommended for fans of On location by Sarah Echavarre Smith or Sonali Dev's Rajes series. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my advance review copy! This was a good listen narrated by Deanna Anthony.
