“I love, love, love Lizzy Dent.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Olive Stone is about to spend four weeks in Italy with the most beautiful man she’s ever hated.
When Olive Stone and her Italian pseudo-celebrity chef father fell out fourteen years ago, annoyingly handsome Leo Ricci slipped right in as his surrogate son and sous-chef. No one is more surprised than Olive when her father wills her his beloved (and now failing) restaurant. Or that his dying wish was for Olive and Leo to complete his cookbook…together.
She’s determined to sell the restaurant. Leo is determined to convince her not to. As they embark on four weeks in Italy, traveling from Sicily to Tuscany to Liguria, they’ll test each other as often as they test recipes. But the more time Olive and Leo spend together, the more undeniable their attraction grows. Olive finds herself wondering whether selling the restaurant might be running away, and what it might be like to try Just One Taste of Leo Ricci. Because he isn’t who she expected, and this trip might reveal more about who Olive is than she’s ready for.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman unexpectedly inherits her father's restaurant in Dent's delicious latest (after The Summer Job). London food critic Olive blames her parents' divorce on her father, who prioritized his business over his family, and hasn't seen the man in 15 years. So she's shocked when he suddenly dies, leaving her his restaurant—with the condition that she must collaborate with his annoyingly hot sous chef Leo Ricci to finish the cookbook he was writing when he died. Olive is less than thrilled to spend time with Leo, whom she resents for his close relationship with her father, and Leo's upset to learn Olive intends to sell the restaurant. It makes for an awkward start to their trip through Sicily, Tuscany, and Liguria collecting recipes for the book. The gorgeous sights and tasty bites enhance the romance as Leo and Olive slowly go from enemies to lovers—until a shocking revelation about her parents' relationship leaves Olive newly afraid of commitment. In vivid prose, Dent brings the Italian countryside to life while building a simmering attraction between her leads. Hopeless romantics looking for an armchair vacation will want to check this out.
