I liked this book--it gripped me right up until the end, although I felt a little dissatisfied at the conclusion. I expected a little bit more since the entire book is leading up to the cook-off competition and then doesn't deliver anything in that area. The book is mostly about the hot romance between the two main characters though. I liked Jackson Delacroix, who spends most of the time hiding his secrets before coming clean. I felt there was maybe a little too much story-telling on his part as he told Marilyn about his past and his family. Those parts lost me a little bit, but the action managed to drag me back in. There are comedic moments to this book that fit in well with the tone. Each chapter starts off with a recipe, which I liked. A couple of them are funny as well. The sex scenes are hot and well written, although the characters seemed to move their relationship along a little fast for only knowing each other a week.]]>
