From the hottest writers in Australia comes a scintillating new series. Enter the world of Sydney’s elite, and find out what goes on behind the doors of the most exclusive addresses in the country…

Meet the Housewives of Sydney. They are wealthy, elegant, poised, and constantly in the public eye. But what goes on behind closed doors, in the private homes and parties where the cameras and paparazzi aren’t welcome? Delve into the most personal details of their relationships, their friendships and their lives. The only question is: can you handle the heat?

Meagan knows food. In the kitchen, she’s confident, cool, and in charge. But when it comes to presenting next season’s dishes and delicacies to the owner of the exclusive restaurant where she is head chef, all of her insecurities boil to the surface.
She knows that she’s playing with fire with a special dessert that blows the restaurant’s budget, but maybe, with the help of some unorthodox persuasion techniques, she might just get what she wants – everything that she wants.

Ok, I’ll preface this review by saying it’s a tough review to write… Tough, because I really couldn’t find one single thing to fault whatsoever.

This was one of those reads that make you periodically stop along the way, simply to let the story wash over you.

So, where to start?

The characterisation was perfect.

The development and revealation of Meagan and Fraser’s relationship was perfect.

The build-up and anticipation was perfect.

The presentation of the story was simply flawless.

If this story doesn’t prompt you to immediately download Husk’s entire catalogue of work, I’d be surprised!

Meagan is one of the Sydney Housewives characters who has been lurking in the background for several books. She walked in on Jorja and Mud about to get down and dirty in Jorja’s story and it’s been mentioned she doesn’t really get on with another one of the Double D group. Even though I didn’t know much about her from these events, I liked Meagan straightaway. She’s feisty, works for a living (she’s a chef at a top restaurant) and isn’t supermodel perfect three minutes after giving birth. I was really looking forward to reading her story and Shona Husk does Meagan justice in this great steamy read.

The story takes place mainly at the restaurant where Meagan is preparing new dishes for her menu. She’s been sweating it out, trying to make the dishes innovative, delicious and come in under budget. Now it’s time for the owner to come in and sample each dish before he gives his approval. But Meagan’s got a problem – one of her dishes is a tiny bit over budget. She’s going to need to work hard to get it over the line. What follows is a sexy, forbidden episode involving food and a dalliance with Fraser, the CEO…

I loved this story – it was sexy yet elegant as if Meagan and Fraser were doing an exquisitely choreographed dance around each other. The addition of food made it extra spicy! I also loved the twist in this story – I was starting to wonder if I had read Meagan’s character wrongly, but the ending was just perfect. I think it has confirmed that Meagan is my favourite housewife. The story packs so much in a small space about Meagan (the characterisation is full) – I’d love to read a full length novel about her. I think she’d have plenty to say!

Thank you to Escape Publishing for the eARC.

Meagan is a well know Chef that has made a name for herself and her restaurant. When Meagan invites the owner of the restaurant to taste some new items that she wants to put on the menu for Autumn, she has to go to great lengths to get him to approve her new ideas. When you realize what is going on in to story, it gives you a warm feeling that this couple makes sure to make time for their relationship even if they do have to schedule meeting times. I think it is neat that they do this because sometimes people with great wealth often forget to take time for themselves and their marriage falls apart. This was a fun read!

I received a copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review.

Chocolate and sex, what more could you need? Meagan is so much more. The sex seems so sneaky, but Meagan and Fraser are more than they seem. It was a lovely twist in another good story.
