A Tasty Dish by Kelly Cain
3.0
3.25 ⭐
Kasi is a filmmaker who is trying to get out from under her famous father's thumb. She wants to make a documentary about different cuisines throughout the world. There is only one problem ~ funding. Although she has a trust fund and a father with multiple connections, this is something she wants to do on her own. She has a strong personality and you'll definitely see her stubbornness in full force. She's actually quite a bit unlikable at times.
Declan is a chef working in his father, Flynn's, Michelin star restaurant. One night, he meets Kasi and he's intrigued by the documentary. A contract is set up with Flynn investing and Declan being a co-producer.
As they start working closely together their feelings for each other grow. Soon, Declan is realizing maybe he likes being in front of the camera more than the life he's always wanted and what's expected of him ~ to be a chef.
This one was a little slow going for me. I really wish I had read book 1 more recently as it coincides with the cooking competition. I did like reading about it from this side of the competition, so that was nice. However, I do wish some chapters were written from Declan's pov, since the series is called The Everheart Brothers of Texas, so we could have seen all that went on with his father.
Side note ~ they seem to order takeaway quite often ~ is Declan just too pooped to whip anything up for them to eat?
The author has a way with words and I found myself chuckling quite a few times with their banter. I enjoyed the friendship between Kasi, Joy and Tariq too.
Although, I didn't love it as much as the first book I will read the next book that, I assume, will follow Weston.
