As always, I’ve been reading lots of awesome books, though. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.How is it October already? Just last week (in August), I was thinking to myself: “You need to do another reading post.” I made a note in my planner and… turned the page. I can't express how much I enjoyed this delightful book. If you enjoy a book with a great HEA, this is the romance for you. If you love seeing two people fall in love under difficult circumstances, this is the romance for you. For those who complain about instalove, you will really enjoy this one.If you are a foodie or a cook or even a chef, this is the romance for you. Secondly, the characters and relationships are developed page by page over the 300-plus pages, so you have time to get to know them and watch them grow, which is such a treat.

First of all, you won't believe she isn't a seasoned author without an extensive backlist. Under the Knife by Laurin Kelly is a debut novel unlike any other romance book I've ever read, and I say that in the best way possible. Kelly takes a refreshingly matter-of-fact approach to the widely diverse supporting characters, who are well developed as individuals without ever stealing the spotlight. The story is a touch uneven in places, with long time gaps and slightly stilted characterization, but there's real charm in the loving and detailed descriptions of both the romance and the food. As the weeks tick down to the finale, the two men grow closer both in the kitchen and in the hidden nooks where the camera can't find them.

One of the other chefs, Zachary, is both competition and temptation-a handsome young restaurant owner with big plans, an impressive culinary pedigree, and an even larger ego. Nate has spent years working his way up through the ranks of the culinary world, and now he has the chance to build a secure future thanks to a spot in a nationally broadcast cooking contest.

under the blazing lights of reality television. Kelly's delectable debut explores romance in present-day L.A.
