A Taste of Home by Anna James

4.0

After working as head chef in a Paris eatery, Layla returns to her hometown. Running the family restaurant she bought from her grandfather, she's having trouble adapting to small-town tastes. She seeks help from financial expert Shane, who just happens to be her high school crush. Can the two make a success of her business—and their budding romance?

This started a little slow for me, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The pace picks up when Layla and Shane start working together. Layla is a little clueless and self-absorbed in the beginning when it comes to her restaurant. But she proves willing to do whatever it takes to turn things around. Shane is smart, caring, and generous with his time. Layla is kind, helpful, and a good leader. Their chemistry is strong, making this a fun and heartwarming romance.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
