If romanticizing things is illegal than lock me and James up. After reading this book I am ready to quit my 9-5 and start working at a restaurant. Naomi knocked it out of the park with this book. It felt real, it was hot, it healed things in me I did not know needed to be healed. A contemporary romance for those dark romance girlies.
After being cut off by her parents James navigates the complexities of an independent life which coincides with her personal growth that leads to an awakening about toxic relationships and a subsequent journey of personal healing.
Ozzy is a hot line cook with a history of being popular with the ladies who comes with a complex back story, but he doesn't let the hard life around him, harden him. He is sweet, caring, takes care of James, and just the right amount of sexually depraved that was sending me absolutely feral.
The tension and heat in the book was absolutely stunning, the payoff in the spicy scenes was chefs kiss, I was absolutely melting over Ozzy cooking for James, and the recipes at the end almost made me tear up a little. We love to see a FMC who becomes a self-assured woman who knows what she wants. Definitely check trigger warnings, but 5/5 would recommend.
