______________________
Sam set out to spend the summer resurrecting her career as a chef but instead, has to chaperone her half-brother to a robotics competition at the local library.
And naturally, because the universe hates her, the library's interim director, Ben, turns out to be the Hot Reader Guy whose book she accidentally destroyed on the ferry to the island.
Sam doesn't do reading. Ben doesn't do romantic relationships.
But when Ben inspires Sam to create the cookbook she's always dreamed about, they discover there might be more than just a creative spark between them.
Will this summer be a recipe for disaster... Or love?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKinlay's charming latest (after It Happened One Christmas Eve) opens with a meet-cute no reader will forget and blooms into a multifaceted story replete with lovable characters, mouthwatering descriptions of food, and a vicarious vacation to Martha's Vineyard. After up-and-coming Boston chef Samantha Gale is passed over for promotion by a boss who seems more concerned about her gender and her dyslexia than her qualifications, she quits her restaurant job and heads to her family's summer home to spend a month licking her wounds while chaperoning her teenage half-brother. She's not looking for romance, but when she meets Ben Reynolds, she can't ignore their attraction. But Ben is the town's new library director and books are his life, while Sam's severe dyslexia has left her with a lifelong hatred of reading. She's initially worried that this difference will make them incompatible, but Ben's enthusiasm proves infectious, and he soon encourages her to write a cookbook of her own. McKinlay handles Sam's dyslexia with sensitivity and heart, and all editions of the book will be published in "a dyslexic friendly font." The well-developed emotional growth between the protagonists makes their connection feel real. This is a keeper.
