This was a slow start to me - Simone is kind of brusque in a way that she claims men get to be and get called "dedicated" or whatever but I think was actually just rude and elitist (which I guess doesn't necessarily disprove her point), but the whole thing unravels so sweetly that you can't help but overlook it. What a nice read, and a great addition to the growing list of NB-chef love interest romance novels.

Thank you Atria and NetGalley for the ARC!
