Publisher Description

One of Amazon's Best Romances of December 
A December LibraryReads Pick

Sometimes two cooks in the kitchen are better than one in this swoony romantic comedy from the author of I’m So (Not) Over You.


Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He just got dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and to top it all off he's right back home in Harper's Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is to work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can’t delegate to save his life.
 
Logan O’Hare doesn’t understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him—he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn’t have many options besides Xavier.
 
Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they’ll have to decide if they can make their relationship work or if life has seasoned them too differently.

Slightly Smiling Face““i’m making this choice for myself, not for my resumé, not to prove anything to anyone else” … and then forgoes that entire string of linear reasoning one chapter later for (albeit it a bisexual one) a white man.”
“This book was just okay. Single dad and a chef on top of that? Hell yeah! Sign me up! It was just unfortunate that I found both the main characters to be just shy of annoying throughout the whole thing. I did really enjoy Anne, Logan's daughter, as a character. She was cute and funny and just the right amount of teenager to be endearing. But overall, I think I was just a bit bored. I'm not put off enough to not read Kosoko Jackson's other works, but maybe there was just not enough salt or pepper to make this book worth it.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“love this book! real and relatable characters, and overall a heartwarming and sweet romance! 🩷”
