I opened “Hungry For More” looking for a change in tenor from my recent reading. Diana Holquist certainly provided that with a story about food and love…or food as love. Each chapter is headed with a food quote from the hero of the book comparing life’s lessons with food. Since I was hungry for something unusual, I dug right in.
James is a fabulous, but lonely chef. His food and his restaurant are his whole life. His famous dishes are each inspire...more

Hungry for More is the third and final book in the One True Love/Make Me a Match series (hint, Ms Holquist, hint). This one focuses on Amy, our antagonistic third Burns’ sibling. This one also bugged me the most with its continuity issues.
For instance, in this book out of nowhere Amy has a name and a backstory for her voice. Apparently the voice is a gypsy thing. And also apparently its contingent on not falling in love, o...more

This is actually my favorite of the One True Love series. Amy, the seeress who has lost her power to detect people's true loves and has to redefine her role in the world, is simultaneously tough and touching as she struggles to master basic skills while fighting her attraction to a chef who seems to be far more focused on his food than she thinks is necessary or appropriate. Like all Diana Holquist's books, this one is intelligent and entertaining, with a wry humor and a knack for catching the q...more
Amy Burns is a gypsy with a major skill - the ability to tell people their true love. Sure, sometimes it's felt more like a curse than anything but it's the one thing she's always done and she can't imagine herself doing anything else. The only thing is that as long as she has this gift, she can never know her true soulmate. One day, she loses the voice in her head that tells her people's soulmates. But she'll do anything to get voice back, she hasn't fallen in love so she thinks she has a chanc...more
Chef James LaChance is the owner of Les Fleurs, two-star French restaurant. James is desperately in need of some help. One of his best servers is gone. What James didn't know is that her name would be Amy. Amy Burns has lost something. She goes in search for it and ends up at the doorstep of Jame's restaurant. Amy is a gypsy, who has a magical gift. She can name anyone's true love. As long as Amy doesn't fall in love then her gift will never go away. That's easier said then done. From the moment...more
I read the first two novels in the series and I have to admit, Amy has always been my favourite character. This third novel "Hungry for More" didn't disappoint.
I loved Amy and James. They were broken but probably not as broken as I would have like. Still they were good characters who had great chemistry.

I was surprised. Hungry for More actually had a good love story. Amy was a little too self-centered for me, but James was lovable and caring. The idea of having the story take place in a restaurant was something I don't think I've ever read about before. If anything, I learned that I don't want to be a chef.
The romance was good and the lessons learned throughout the story were even better. It was good to see the main characters learn they were wrong and that they needed each other kinda thing. I...more

Four hundred pages of 'just not that good.'
Four hundred pages of 'just not that good.'
it was a little bit slow read for me.
Took me a bit to get into this story. I wasn't really relating to the heroine (even though she had my same name, which is fun) but ooh, that chef, he was smokin', so I kept reading. A few chapters in I got more into the story and breezed through the rest. I enjoyed it and may have to pick up the rest of this series. (because, of course, I read the last book first.)
loved it! this series is amazing.
Cute romance with a gypsy afraid of love because she'll lose her power - which has left her anyway.
An extremely pleasant surprise, since I'm picky about my romantic comedies.
Diana Holquist's novels are witty and utterly enjoyable!
3rd in sister series; good recovery from 2nd eh one

The Official Bio
I love to write. That’s pretty much all I do. Ask my family about the undone laundry, the un-bought groceries, and the fact that I rarely find time to get dressed in the morning. Actually, if you train your family right, they won’t notice any of these things. "Popcorn for dinner again, mom! Cool," say my filthy children. God bless them, they don’t know what panty hose are.
