If you are after a well-written romantic read that is filled with sexual tension, wit and humour, has wonderful characters and a great storyline, then this ticks all the boxes. It was a pleasure to read. Whilst there wasn't a vast amount of steamy content, when it did happen it was worth it.I absolutely loved Jill and Chet. They were both strong individuals with characters traits that weren't unrealistic. Jill, a chef, is honest, open, witty and determined. Her life goals are to run a successful business, marry and have children. Only it's not's going to plan. Chet, a wealthy businessman is down to earth, very sexy, intelligent, funny and a commitment-phobe with trust issues. A kiss between strangers, a blind-date and a proposition later, Jill has agreed to be Chet's live-in chef. 8 weeks for her to kick-start her business, 8 weeks for him to get her out of his system. What is it they say? If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen...?With sexy and playful banter, laugh-out loud humour and touching moments along with those that tugged on the heartstrings, it was a book that I struggled to put down. Plus there was a twist to the story that I didn't exactly see coming. The only thing that was missing for me was an epilogue; I just feel it ended a little suddenly, as such wonderful characters they deserved one and it would have finished their story off perfectly, but nevertheless, this most definitely a book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and is one that I will read again.(One last thing. The cover. They say you should never judge a book by it, but judging by the attention my husband gave it after spotting it and his subsequent questions, I believe this cover does the book justice).I received this book as an ARC from the publisher for an honest and unbiased opinion.
