Synopsis from Goodreads:
IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT . . .
Photographer Lili DeLuca spends all her time working at her family's Italian restaurant, instead of following her dream of getting an MFA. When famous British chef Jack Kilroy unexpectedly challenges her father to a cook-off, Lili decides she's tired of playing it safe and vows to seduce the tempting Brit. But once a video of her and Jack kissing goes viral and her luscious (if voluptuous) butt starts trending on Twitter, Lili fears she's cooked up a recipe for disaster . . .
Jack Kilroy's celebrity has left him feeling used and used up. While Lili's oh-so-sexy moans when she tastes his delicious creations turn him on, he's even more aroused by how this beautiful, funny woman is unimpressed by his fame. He knows they could be amazing together, if she could only see past his rabid, bitch-fork-wielding fan base. Now as he's about to start a new prime time TV cooking show, can Jack convince Lili to realize her own ambitions-and turn up the heat in his kitchen?
Rating: 2/5 Stars
My Review:
The plot was a bit scattered at the beginning and it took me a while to get into it. But one I hit the middle of it, it picked up and kept my attention until the end. I didn't mind the main character - she was a little more realistic than your usual "female" character, as she proud of her curvier and larger figure. Not many books portray women in that light, so it was refreshing in that sense. I'm not sure if I'll read the rest of the series though. I may change my mind later.
