Dishing Up Love by K.D. Robichaux



Release Date: 07.23.2020


Synopsis:

One hot chef
One beautiful woman
One chance encounter
Mix and dish up some love

Erin Bazzara is living life to the fullest as a single woman in New Orleans and making a name for herself as one of the top psychologists in the state of Louisiana. Years ago, she swore off men after receiving devastating news, news that proved her fiancé didn’t care about the rule “in sickness and in health.” It also proved he didn’t really care about her.
Good riddance, who needs a man anyway? Not her. Not ever again.
Or so she thought, until she literally runs into a certain world-renowned chef who looks at her like she might be his next four-course meal.

Chef Curtis Rockwell, host of the award-winning Chef To Go, never knows who the next participant on his show will be. State to state, city to city, he scours grocery store aisles each episode, looking for the perfect stranger to go home with so he can teach them how to cook a gourmet meal. It’s always been just a part of his job, a job he loves but still a job…
Then he spots her. The perfect participant. The perfect woman. A woman not even his dreams could have conjured up.
Now, all he has to do is prove the heat between them won’t just sizzle out like yesterday’s flambé.


Review:
Curtis is a famous chef who hosts a cooking show on the road with a new participant for every city.
He meets Erin, a psychologist, in New Orleans and they feel phisical attraction at first sight. While Chef Curtis teaches Erin to cook something easy for a single person with a lot of work to do and a very little time to eat healtly they easily find a nice companionship and a good connection.
Will they give themselves some time to figure out what is going on between them? Or will they drift apart because they have too much different lifestyles?

“What’s the point of living in a party place like New Orleans if you’re not going to party?”

I’ve never heard of this author before but as soon as I’ve discovered this story was set in New Orleans I had to go and start to read it.
K.D. Robichaux describes so well the atmosphere and true heart of New Orleans that I’m even more curious to get to visit it now, she also dwells on telling some of this city’s scary stories.

Dishing Up Love is a good rom com and most of the book is filled with funny scenes but there is also a minor drama in the life of the heroine who someone could find triggering

      Synopsis:     All this single dad wants is a quiet Christmas, but he’s in for a sweet surprise… Charlotte Kendrick is thrilled when her best friend invites her to run the family ice cream shop in small-town Sugarville Grove. She’s had a rough year with a bad break-up and a terrible loss. But Charlotte isn’t going to let that dampen her spirits. She’s determined to have fun, finish the things she starts, and avoid falling for another guy – especially her best friend’s grumpy, gorgeous older brother. Tag Lawrence has buried himself in his work on the family dairy farm and his fierce love for his kids ever since losing his wife years ago.
