This book was just so wholesome, though it was quite steamy at times. This follows the competitors to lovers trope as Dahlia and London find themselves competing on a nationally televised cooking show. London, a cute and proudly queer romantic that I’m thankful for; I’ve read plenty of books from the perspective of cis and queer characters, but I’ve never found one that offered representation through a non-binary main character. Dahlia, likewise, serves as the prime example of how queer women can be overlooked and assumed to be cis because they’ve been with (in this case married to) a man. I loved that both of them just unapologetically enjoyed each other as they are, although they weren’t always able to accept themselves. London and Dahlia each face their own insecurities as they navigate the Chef’s Special’s competition and their relationship with the other contestants. With plenty of delicious food, a few adorable cows, and two people that want to proudly represent the queer community positively with their newfound media attention, this story will leave you giggling and dreaming about your own love life ❣️🍰
