***2 Stars***
UGH…
I really, REALLY, wanted to like this book ~ and for all intents and purposes I should have ~ the books I’ve read by this author I’ve thoroughly enjoyed (The Friend Zone has been re read more times than I can count), I love an enemies to lovers trope AND the food ~ OMG the FOOD ~ BUT ~ yes, the dreaded “BUT” ~ it ended up being just an okay read for me.
Macon and Delilah ~ I honestly liked Delilah. She has a good heart ~ even if it gets her into situations it shouldn’t ~ and I loved her passion for cooking and making it her career. Macon. He isn’t a bad guy, but I just needed more from him. So to say their journey to their HEA didn’t work for me isn’t a surprise and it isn’t that I didn’t like them together, I just thought Delilah deserved so much more.
I know all too well that not every book by authors one loves will end up being fav’s, but it still hurts to have to put it out into the world that this one just didn’t do it for me. The pacing dragged for me and outside of Delilah the rest of the characters just didn’t do it for me. So, I’m figuring this is just a one off and am looking forward to diving into her next book.

As kids, they hated each other. Macon Saint was beautiful, but despite his name, Delilah knew he was the devil. That he dated her slightly evil sister, Samantha, was no picnic either. When they broke up, it was a dream come true: Delilah never had to see him again.
Ten years later, her old enemy sends a text.
Delilah’s sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town.
Sparks still sizzle between Macon and Delilah, only this heat feels alarmingly like unwanted attraction. But Delilah is desperate to keep her weak-hearted mother from learning of her sister’s theft. So she proposes a deal: she’ll pay off the debt by being Macon’s personal chef and assistant.
It’s a recipe for disaster, but Macon can’t stop himself from accepting. Even though Delilah clearly hates him, there’s something about her that feels like home. Besides, they’re no longer kids, and what once was a bitter rivalry has the potential to be something sweeter. Something like forever.
Release Date: March 31st, 2020
