I won this book from a Goodreads first-reads giveaway.

When In Doubt, Add Butter is the story about a personal chef, Gemma Craig (not to be confused with Jenny Craig!) and the quirky people who she cooks for. When Gemma was 12 years old, she was told by a fortune teller to never marry because she would be miserable for the rest of her life. The fortune teller ended up being a disgruntled teacher dressed up, but when the story opens, Gemma is 37 years old and has never been married. She works for a different person or family Monday through Friday while doing the occasional catering event on the weekends, but has never been able to save any money. The people she works for range from fame whore wanna-bes, to a questionable Russian family to a bachelor she has never met, but who loves her cooking and leaves her quirky notes.

One night, Gemma and her friend Lynn go to a bar and Gemma meets a very handsome man playing pool. She ends up spending the night with him and her whole world changes.

This was an entertaining book and a very quick read. The characters were likable and although the book was very predictable, the ending tied up nicely.
