Publisher Description
Sometimes the secret ingredient is right under your nose…
Executive Chef Sloan Leary just received the invitation of a lifetime to create signature holiday dishes for a premier meal delivery service. If she wins the contract, she can finally expand her restaurant to Paris, fulfilling a promise to her late grandmother. But first she’ll need to complete her annual two-week culinary exchange. Sloan is shocked when she’s sent to a small-town diner in Brooks Bend, Connecticut. If that weren’t enough, she learns her audition is to create dog food for pampered pooches—she’s never even had a pet.
Ex-military handyman Alex Edwards knows plenty about dogs—his beloved labradoodle is also his emotional support companion. So he’s happy to help newcomer Sloan create a Thanksgiving meal fit for canine cravings. When Sloan encourages him to go all in with his carpentry business, Alex pulls back. He stopped taking risks a long time ago and is happy with his slower life…right?
As they work to find the right seasonings, can Alex and Sloan rewrite the meal plans for their futures…with each other?

An Autumn to Remember
I loved this one by Robyn, the second in her Brooks Bend series. Sloan is a hard working chef who’s dream of opening a restaurant in Paris is inching ever closer. Life takes an interesting turn when she discovers that she’s creating signature holiday dishes for a premier meal delivery service. For dogs! Yes a signature thanksgiving dinner for dogs is her audition. She’s then thrown further out of her depth when her exchange is in a small-town diner in Brooks Bend, Connecticut. Coming to her rescue is ex military turned handyman Alex and his beloved labradoodle who is also his emotional support companion. I thoroughly enjoyed these two and revisiting the small town of Brooks Bend. Sloan slowly warms up to the town and the locals who have a hard time accepting her and her suitcase of spices! I loved the traditions in the town and the food, the ex of Alex’s who threatens to derail the budding relationship between Alex and Sloan and just how warm and fuzzy it makes you feel. I hope we get to see more of the town, I can see at least a couple of characters who deserve their own stories. Thanks to Tule publishing for sharing this wonderful book with me early.
