Ok this one was really good y’all! I’m a sucker for foodie fiction and while I’ve read plenty of books that center on food I don’t think I’ve read one featuring a reality cooking show with amateur home cooks. It was also my first romance with a nonbinary lead too and I really appreciated getting some insights into the struggles London faced. Anymore when I read a romance I want the usual spice, humor and depth but what really makes a romance stand out for me is when the characters are authentic, relatable and messy. I may not be a queer reality show contestant but I still found myself relating to Dahlia as I’m a bit of a hot mess myself. Both Dahlia and London’s issues and struggles were really well drawn and I was rooting so hard for them both as a couple and separately. This one brings the humor, the heat and the heart, lots of tender and sweet moments and plenty of sexiness as well. Definitely recommended by me, especially if you like food and adorable couples who make you a little swoony.
