Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He just got dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and to top it all off he's right back home in Harper's Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is to work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can’t delegate to save his life. Logan O’Hare doesn’t understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him—he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn’t have many options besides Xavier. Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they’ll have to decide if they can make their relationship work or if life has seasoned them too differently.

"This book did a whole lot of tell don’t show through the MC internal monologue. I also wasn’t convinced of the couple’s chemistry. Idk maybe age gap isn’t for me but having the older guy give the younger long lectures and then the younger internally say “well at least he’s being honest and giving me a choice” didn’t scream sexy or sensual. The audiobook was also OK. Wish the narrator had distinguished between the main voices a bit more and between the internal and external dialogue. There were many times I wasn’t sure something was being said out loud or not."
"DNF<br/><br/>Was not into the writing style at all, read like wattpad fan fiction but not the good kind"
