Simmer Down
by Sarah Echavarre Smith, Sarah Smith
New food truck owner, Callum, has parked in the same spot Nikki has been parking for months, against the unwritten code of conduct that all Maui food truck owners follow. But not Callum... when Nikki tries to clue him in, he gives her the brush off and stays put, starting the biggest island food truck rivalry the foodies have ever experienced! And now that their rivalry is being broadcast all over social media, both businesses are booming. But who will win the Maui Food Festival and the right to stay at the beach parking spot? And can they protect their hearts in the process?
I loved this enemies-to-lovers turned friends with benefits romcom! Nikki's character development was nicely done... her grief, which bled over into ALL of her relationships, was both a trigger and comforting. Some of the things that Callum said to Nikki were things that I was glad to hear, having dealt with a very similar loss. Callum's character arc did feel a little less developed, but it was forgivable since it was a first person POV of Nikki's account.
I give this one 4.5 stars, with a round up to 5 because I absolutely couldn't put it down. I finished in just 2 days, and read over 80% of book on the second. It's definitely worth a read for any romcom lover looking for a Happily Ever After.
