Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth -- or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.</p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Menu</strong>    <p><strong>Appetizer</strong><br/>  Cal Buchanan needs a top-flight chef to take over his failing Seattle restaurant, The Waterfront. He can afford to hire the best in town -- the only problem is that the best happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jordan.    <p><strong>Entree</strong><br/>  Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance -- she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on . . . and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil!    <p><strong>Dessert</strong><br/>  The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth -- or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Menu</strong>    <p><strong>Appetizer</strong><br/>  Cal Buchanan needs a top-flight chef to take over his failing Seattle restaurant, The Waterfront. He can afford to hire the best in town -- the only problem is that the best happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jordan.    <p><strong>Entree</strong><br/>  Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance -- she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on . . . and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil!    <p><strong>Dessert</strong><br/>  The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth -- or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.</p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Silly and easy and cheesy.  The woman in charge of the romance department at the bookstore is a big fan of this series, and was so excited to pass it on - I think most of the female staff ended up reading it.  Nothing impressive, but nothing offensive.]]></body>
