Book Description:
Cal Buchanan needs a top-flight chef to take over his failing Seattle restaurant, The Waterfront. He can afford to hire the best in town--the only problem is that the best happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jackson.
Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance--she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on...and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil!
The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth--or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.

I felt this book started off slow, but then it became really interesting. Everyone seems to have so many secrets and it keeps you wanting to read more and more to find out how everything will play out.
There are a lot of characters in this book and each you come to know a little about each one. I'm excited to read the other books in this series to know more about all the characters in this family.

I actually really liked this book. Not just the story line and the romance, but I loved the characters as well. Susan Mallery did a great job of letting the reader get to know the characters, my favorite, was of course, Penny. And, Naomi. They were the two female chefs that ran the kitchen in the story, and they were a real inspiration to me because their job really touches home to me. Great book if you like to read a little romance mixed with the life of a Chef and food! I look forward to reading the other two of Mallery's Buchanan books.

Book 1 of a series...she writes 'real' characters. I really enjoy reading them.

I loved this book. The protagonists were great and I really enjoyed their relationship as well as the secondary characters....except for the grandmother. She was a little over the top and I hope they give an explanation of why she is the way she is in one of the upcoming books.

Light and fun. It won't stay with me, but I enjoyed it while I was reading it.

Lori S. (I seem to be the lone crank here, but I didn't find this book to be all that delicious. I appreciate the fact that many warned that it was light reading, I found it to be a bit too light.
This was an excellent book. I love it but I also love Susan Mallery!!
Cindy W. (This (audio) book was pretty good- it's Cal and Penny's story. HOWEVER, I do think that some parts were unnecessary, and you could really tell that the writer was setting up a series. I think that if I had not heard the audio this book would have received a 3, but since I did hear the audio, and got to hear the characters through the reader, I am giving it a 4. This is the first book in the series, and I will probably listen to the rest of the series. Brothers Walker and Reid and sister Dani get their own stories. Those who love reunited stories or second chances, this one will work for you!
FANTASTIC! First in the series and I cannot wait to read the other two!
Dawn T. (Book cover is different. First book in a series. Great reading.
