All Stirred Up by Brianne Moore
3.0

Chris and Susan were once a couple. Then she left and he doesn’t know why. Now they are both in Edinburgh making a go of their respective restaurants.

And they’re still on each other’s minds, a lot. After ten years. There is such a thing as moving on.

This story was more about how to get on in the restaurant business than a romance. There was very little romance in this story, considering it is supposed to be a romance.

There was the obligatory other guy. Who was a delight.

There were the two sister. Who, I am sure, I have already read about in another novel. Just couldn’t put my finger on it, but the haughty elder sister and the basket case younger sister seem like tropes, rather than characters.

I liked the story better when the sisters were in it less.

I pretty much struggled through the first half of the story. Liked it better in the second half. But the story didn’t sizzle and there wasn’t much of a bang - even though there was much cooking and even some actually fireworks.

I read an ARC through NetGalley.
