Product Description:

Another delicious treat full of Southern sass, wit, and charm from the New York Times bestselling author of Savannah Breeze and Hissy Fit

Chef extraordinaire Gina Foxton doesn't expect anything to be handed to her on a platter. After years of hard work, the former runner-up Miss Teen Vidalia Onion is now the host of her own local Georgia public television show called Fresh Start, and she's dating the show's producer.

But when her show gets canceled—and she catches her boyfriend in flagrante delicto with the boss's wife—Gina realizes that she's meant for bigger and better things. Namely, a gig on national television.

The Cooking Channel is looking for its next big star, and Gina is certain that she fits the bill. Trouble is, the execs also have their eyes on Mr. 'Kill It and Grill It' Tate Moody, the star of a hunting, fishing, and cooking show named Vittles. Tate is the ultimate man's man, with a dog named Moonpie and a penchant for flannel shirts. He's also a tasty side of beef with a swooning female fan base. All Gina has on her side are a free-spirited, college-dropout sister and a mother who calls every single day.

Little does Gina know, though, that she and Tate are soon to embark on the cook-off of their lives, spiced up by a little ingredient called love.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Light and easy reading
Another one of those light beach books, gives you a chuckle, but borders on silly. Still there are times when we need light-hearted books. I did notice a few discrepancies along the way but if you're looking for something light (and forgettable) this is a good choice.

Rating:

- A little bit of everything -
This novel incorporated all the best elements of a good romantic comedy movie and put them onto the page. The plotline was fresh - especially in this age of reality TV and the phenomenon of the Food Network - and the characters were rich and entertaining. There were several exchanges that had me laughing out loud.

I'm not giving the novel 5 stars because I would have liked to see a little more of the romance between the two main characters, Tate and Gina, starting earlier in the book. The beginning section, setting up the action that would come later, was also a little on the slow side.

But, once this story got rolling, there was no stopping it. I read the second two thirds of the novel in an hour and a half! All in all, it was a really fun read!

Rating:

- Took me forever to read
I have enjoyed all other books by MKA - Savannah Breeze is my favorite!

That said, I had such a hard time getting through this one! Too many discrepancies and bad editing contributed to my confusion throughout. Careless and rushed is how I would sum up this effort.

Rating:

- Not half-baked
Having read all of Mary Kay's books, I was a little disappointed in this one, but I thought it was a cute look at competing chefs with plenty of sexual tension.
