Okay so I went into this book with very low expectations as some of my mutuals on goodreads had already given this book a really low rating but I enjoyed this a lot. And I mean a lot!

This follows Dahlia (queer mc) & London (non binary mc) and their journey on a cooking competition show similar to master chef. They both had a not so great start with each other and they were giving off a grumpy/sunshine vibe which I loved. But they both soon realised that it had just been initial nerves and they started up a great friendship and alliance for the competition.

I really enjoyed the story about the cooking competition as I haven’t read a book with this sort of plot and I surprisingly loved it (I don’t really watch cooking shows in real life lol!)

I also loved the chemistry between Dahlia and London. They were both secretly crushing on each other, so there was mutual pining and they also had such a great friendship so I enjoyed seeing this develop into a more romantic relationship.

One last thing I want to comment on, was how great the spicy scenes were. Not just because of the spice but because of how sex positive it was. I just really liked the way both characters communicated and were honest with each other during these moments.

Overall this was a super cute, and surprisingly spicy, book and I would definitely recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
