#80 - "On the Steamy Side" by Louisa Edwards


Summary:

She’s Never Met A Man So Mouth-Watering

When Lilah Jane Tunkle fled her dull life in Virginia for the bright lights of New York City, she didn’t expect to wind up a nanny to a gorgeous celebrity chef’s ten-year-old son. Working for the delectable Devon Sparks is a sure-fire recipe for disaster, especially after Lilah gets a tantalizing taste of his perfectly seasoned kisses . . .

And He Can’t Resist Her Down-Home Spice

Devon’s not sure he can handle one more surprise ingredient in his life—he left his popular TV show, his culinary reputation is on the line, and now the son he barely knows is back for seconds. Lilah’s Southern sass is supposed to keep the boy in line, but soon enough she’s teaching Devon a thing or two about homespun food . . . and turning up the heat. 

My thoughts on the book:
I liked it a lot! It was really fun! Almost all the characters of Can't Stand the Heat are here! There's more of Devon, Frankie, Jess, etc & I liked them all a lot! Can't wait to read the next one Just One Taste, which will be about Wes & probably there'll be more about Frankie & Jess & I'm hoping about Grant, too. Definitely Louisa Edwards is becoming one of my favorite authors

#28 - "Can't Stand the Heat" by Louisa Edwards

Summary:
For sharp-tongued food critic Miranda Wake, the chance to spend a month in Adam Temple's kitchen to write an exposé is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Miranda can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once she learns what really goes on at his trendy Manhattan restaurant. But she never expected Adam to find out her most embarrassing secret: she has no idea how to cook.

Adam's not about to have his reputation burned by a critic who doesn't even know the difference between poaching and paring. He'll just have to give the tempting redhead a few private lessons of his own - teaching her what it means to cook with passion, and doing more with his hands than simply preparing sumptuous food.

My thoughts on the book:
I really enjoyed this book. It was really fun read. All I can say is, if you like books with cooking like I do, than this is a book for you. Also, I can't wait to get my hands on the second book "On the Steamy Side". That's all...
