This is an immature, badly written and quite dull book. Not dreadful, but not something I would read again. If you want a typical and not very imaginative romance with very few sparks, lots of clichés then this is the book for you.
After reading Hot Stuff which has plenty of more mature, intelligent and witty dialogue between the characters I was shocked by the unimaginative and very predictable interaction between the characters in this book. And the authors depiction of a posh “Bri...more

An easy to read contemporary story about Roxanne wanting to move on from her past as a model and not be that "person" anymore, to prove she can do something more than live on her looks. Of course, there's the "almost" bet between her restaurant bartender, Steve, and his best friend, and you can see the train wreck coming from the gate on that. And that is just the beginning of some pretty strong moments that show Miss Roxanne to have a real temper. There are a lot of (incorre...more
I Really Loved this book! although not a learning experience or anything it was fun and i just loved the characters, Roxanne is one of those people you just can't hate even though she is Gorgeous and smart and funny in her own way and Steve is the ultimate hunk-a man with hidden depths and great personality, it did drive me crazy the way Roxanne just doesn't seem to see some really obvious things but I think it kind of just adds to the book... Also I really want to know the story behind Skip... ...more
Fluffy romance that takes place between the owner of a newly opened French restaurant and the bartender. Most of the plot was based on the assumptions the characters made with each other. I got a little bored with it about 3/4 of the way through which is why I don't read this genre too often, althought it was entertaining at first.
This was a good read. Besides the obvious budding romance, there was also a mystery. Steve Serrano is also a historian who is interested in the history of the restaurant's location. Cute read. 3/5 stars.
Bit of a slow start and I didn't think that I would end up reading it all. Ended up finishing it within a day and did enjoy it. The characters were quirky and a little bit of mystery thrown in with the romance.
This story is kinda salivating. haha! Every chapter is entitled, of course, with the specialty of the day. The story flowed nicely but it's kinda boring, nothing to be fascinated about.
I always love Elaines's books and this one was as wonderful as the rest.
