For fans of Tessa Bailey and Mia Sosa, highly acclaimed author Letizia Lorini brings a deliciously sexy, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny rom-com set in the culinary world.
One year ago, Amelie had it all. Nearly engaged to her high school sweetheart, close to her childhood best friend, and cooking at her dad’s restaurant, her life was exactly what she’d ordered. Until Ian, an opinionated wedding-hater, sat beside her at a wedding and proved she might like something off-menu.
Now, Amelie is unemployed, single, and taking a break from her best friend. On top of it all, she’s lost all contact with Ian. When she visits his hometown to teach at a weeklong cooking conference, she hopes for a fateful meet-cute. But their reunion is explosive when Amelie discovers Ian is the son of her father’s business rival.
Even bigger fiasco? He only wants to be her friend. Amelie has one week to change his mind, and if the truth of why her whole life fell apart remains hidden, their love story might even end with a wedding.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Friends become lovers in Lorini's steamy and hilarious second Love & Other Recipes romance (after Dessert for Stressed People). Chef Amelie Preston has her wedding to her high school sweetheart, Frank, planned to the last detail, never mind the fact that he hasn't proposed yet. Then she meets sexy, opinionated Ian Roberts at a friend's wedding and the pair spends all night talking, with Ian making her question her carefully organized life—before she realizes he comes from her family's long-standing rivals. Still, they agree to keep in touch via text. A year later, Amelie's life is in shambles: she's unemployed, her fairy tale ending with Frank will never happen, and her relationship with her best friend is at a breaking point. When she unexpectedly meets Ian again at the weeklong International Cooking and Culture Expo in Ian's hometown, old feelings come rushing back—but family business secrets threaten to wreck the happy reunion. Lorini toggles between past and present to slowly untangle how Amelie's life fell apart and tease the slow build of emotion between her leads. The characters are easy to love, and readers will have no trouble rooting for them to find their happily ever after.
