false<![CDATA[Luscious Lemon]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174501664m/408239.jpg4082391She's finally seeing the fruits of her labors. Chef Ellie "Lemon" Manelli's hip East Village bistro is suddenly all the rage; Lemon and her staff of wildly talented friends plucked from New York City's finest eateries can barely keep pace. Good thing she has her loyal, doting, bankrolling Georgia peach of a boyfriend, Eddie, to lean on -- not to mention a gaggle of loving relations over the river in Brooklyn. In fact, Lemon's life is turning out exactly as she planned -- except for the fact that she's late. As in late. Nobody said anything about, you know, labor. Having a baby right now would jeopardize everything Lemon has worked so hard to accomplish, so the pregnancy test results leave her feeling a little sour. Eddie, bless his heart, wants to just go ahead and get married, but Lemon's not sure the timing's right. She's about to learn a lesson or two about love and loss, though. And in the end she'll discover that there's a reason things work out the way they do -- and that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade, or lemon tarts, or lemon meringue pie. Or, you can just be a plain ole Lemon, if that's what you were meant to be.3975445102004Luscious Lemontotal:51|5:10|4:13|3:20|2:7|1:1|511771031111falsefalseSat Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008Sun Sep 28 13:59:42 -0700 2008Thu Feb 26 20:39:42 -0800 200920falsefalseMon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008Tue Jan 06 07:52:37 -0800 2009Tue Jan 06 07:52:37 -0800 200930falsefalseMon Jan 28 18:57:56 -0800 2008Tue Jan 29 19:31:24 -0800 2008

Luscious Lemon is far more serious than the chick lit perky yellow cover indicates. It was a bonus for me that Lemon was a chef because I always enjoy books where food is featured. Overall a good book on a topic that I don't think is cover...more...]]>
