Welcome to Litsy!

It was ok but I just wasn‘t that into it. I ended up skimming the last quarter of it tbh

About half way in and so far I‘m feeling meh. Maybe it‘ll get better or maybe it won‘t be for me. Idk yet

Loved this contemporary romance. The story is sweet and hot. The audiobook was excellent.

I didn‘t make it very far into THE ROMANCE RECIPE before bed last night, but the opening gave me all the culinary drama vibes I could wish for. Hopefully I‘ll be able to get really stuck into it today.

Casey would like you to know these toys are all VERY IMPORTANT, which is why he needs all three of them spread out on his rug. Thank you.

Amy hired Sophie to be the head chef at her restaurant bc she‘s qualified & she‘s gorgeous. now as her boss, Amy can‘t go there, also Sophie is straight so it‘s fine. Sophie is not straight &recently single since her fiancé didn‘t take the bisexual bomb well. Amy needs Sophie to help save the struggling restaurant &Sophie needs help getting her confidence back. &they may do some unsanitary things in the kitchen while they‘re at it. loved this book

Best book of August!

This wasn't quite the romance for me, but I think overall it did what it set out to do very well. It's about a celebrity chef and her restaurant owner, both of whom are already pining for each other when the book begins. This romance set up doesn't interest me much. But the chef, Sophie, is a newly out bi woman at age 30 and the depiction of her later in life coming out and encountering biphobia, was excellent. Also steamy sapphic sex scenes!

Okay this might be an unforgivable mistake for an audiobook voice actor to mispronounce "poutine" when it's supposed to be a Montrealer saying it! The other character even remarks on how she pronounces it!! (The actor says "poutin" instead of "pouteen"). ????

4.5 stars, sweet sapphic romance with an a-hole verbally abusive father, I did really enjoy this, the dad was a lot like my own, a bully, but overall it was a funny, sweet book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I wish they'd gotten into the mom more though. I'm glad they didn't really try to redeem the dad and give him so excuse. The narrators were great but I wish they'd had more distinctive voices, it was a bit confusing at parts who's POV.

I want these two ladies and their restaurant to suceed so bad!

Also I discovered by happy surprise that this author is Canadian. Sophie the chef character is also Canadian, from Montreal!

While I enjoyed this book and the sex scenes were certainly numerous and spicy, I did feel that there wasn't enough in the plot to make it memorable for me. I also think I just prefer rom-coms as I really enjoy the witty banter and humour, whereas this was more serious romance. That being said I will watch for more from this fairly new author (it is only her second novel) and enjoyed the glimpse into the restaurant business. I gave it 3.5/5.
