Format: Hardcover
ISBN: 978-0312599096

As far as Gemma Craig is concerned, her days of dating are over.  In fact, it’s her job to cater to other peoples’ dates, and that’s just fine by her.  At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her life feels full and secure.  She’s got six steady clients that keep her hands full.

For Gemma, cooking is predictable.  Recipes are certain.  Use good ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success.  Life, on the other hand, is full of variables.  So when Gemma’s takes an unexpected turn on a road she always thought was straight and narrow, she must face her past and move on in ways she never would have imagined.

My Thoughts
The characters are engaging and well developed and the story flows well.  Although the book is an easy read with some predictable plot points, there are enough interesting twists to keep you turning pages.  This book is an overall entertaining read.  There are serious parts intertwined with laugh out loud moments.  It was light hearted, yet realistic.  Beth Harbison always knows how to create characters varying and bursting with personality.

The reviews made here are my personal opinion. I’m not being paid to review any of these books. I am by no means a professional book reviewer or editor.  I do this for the love of books.
