You can call me arrogant as much as you want. But when you’re the best at what you do and have the hottest restaurant on the west coast, with enough Michelin stars to make Gordon Ramsay’s head spin, you’ve earned the right to your confidence.
When I give an instruction in the kitchen, it’s not a suggestion–it’s an order. So when a new chef thinks she can do things her way, and dares to say so to my face, even her sharp wit and gorgeous pouty lips don’t make it okay.
But I have to admit, she’s got talent. She’s creative in the kitchen and not even that double-breasted chef jacket can hide her perfect body. As I get to know her, I can’t help wanting to know everything she thinks. I’ve never met a more talented chef. And I’ve never met a sassier and sexier woman in my life.
There’s only one way this push and pull can end.
With her in my bed, begging for more.
Cole Chambers is a renowned chef, owner of the hottest restaurant in L.A., with a TV show under his belt and celebrity dater extraordinaire. The man is hot, sexy and exudes confidence. A god among men.
Willow is his new line cook. A small-town girl with big dreams and immense passion for her craft. When Cole calls her out for a variation on one of his recipes, she won’t flinch or stand down and it’s that fire that will make him want to know more about the sassy new girl.
Willow is a spitfire, not willing to compromise her ideas just to satisfy Cole’s ego and I loved the fact that he could see her for what she is, an extremely talented chef, from early on. Cole on the other hand, is a man closed within himself, but Willow will bring the best out of him and one can’t help but to fall in love.
Sparks will fly and the heat will be off the charts in and out of the kitchen, but when opportunity comes knocking, will Willow choose love or career?
I really enjoyed this story, the main and secondary characters, the descriptions about the places, the food and the way it was all brought to life by the author. Mr. Hawkins related love and food in an exquisite manner and it was one of my favorite things about this book.
The writing is great, the story is fast paced with an easy flow and there’s no fluff or waste at any time. In addition to that, it has the right amount of sensuality that makes it as perfect as the most succulent dish.

EXCERPT:
She lets out a sigh of relief, but my cock hears something different in her gasping exhale. I bring my thumb slowly to a speck at the side of her mouth, fingers resting on the round perfection of her jawline. She stills under my touch and catches my gaze, time slowing with the deliberateness of my movements.
I brush the speck, but don’t pull away. Instead, I bring my thumb back across those ever-pouted lips, tracing their dip and fullness, letting her feel the texture of hands rough and scarred from a lifetime in kitchens, our eyes locked together in a moment of anticipation, emotions raging like an angry sea against the dam of the distance between us.
Her lips part slightly, I feel her shortening breath on my hand, and I push my thumb between those juicy, perfect lips, fingers pressing against the base of her ear. Her gentle gasp breaks the silence, before she closes those soft lips around my thumb, the sight of them pressing against my skin making my cock full against my pants. Her teeth gently squeezing my nail, tongue flickering as I push the finger inside the hot wetness of her mouth.
My other hand already on her waist, I pull her toward me, press her lithe body up against mine. Those magnificent hips swaying and rubbing against mine, her weight shifting onto me, breasts heaving, nipples so hard now I can feel them through that sweater dress.
“You’re fucking incredible,” I growl. Prelude to pulling her toward me, my finger in her mouth still, angling her head so I can taste the tenderness of her neck, run my sensitive tastebuds down the taut muscles, follow the path that leads me to the front of her chest. Quiet moans getting louder as I run my tongue down the softness of her cleavage, her dress my enemy now as I pull it down and bury my teeth in her breasts.
“Oh God…” she moans. “Cole…”
