Dishing Up Desire is another wonderful addition to the Entangled Publishing Indulgence line.  I love these shorter novels, they really seem to fit in my summer so far and provide me with wonderful stories to get lost in for a couple of hours.Character Development:Kirin and Blake, two very interesting characters with somewhat mysterious pasts.  Both have a drive in the present to make something of themselves.  Kirin really just wants to get her life and career back on track.  Blake has something to prove by changing public opinion of Kirin and then he will have the company of his dreams.  But along the way of course there is romance.  But first I enjoyed getting to know Kirin and Blake.  Kirin was a little hard to like at first, but as I got to know her through the book, I really began to enjoy her and see a little bit of the everyday woman in her.  Blake is flat out hot and a good man when you really dig into who he is.  I liked him, liked how he falls for Kirin and like how he grows in the book.  Both characters have growth and are well-developed for a short book.  Also the romance is not instantaneous if that is one of the things that bothers you about a shorter book.  The attraction is there, but the romance develops a little slower.Plot:The plot is built around Kirin and Blake, first in the restoration of her image and second in their romance.  It's a fast read and kept me engaged through the entire book.  I wanted to turn each page and see how the plot would unfold and how Kirin and Blake would develop.Final Thoughts:If you are looking for a short read to jump-start your reading and satisfy your taste for romance, then Dishing Up Desire is just the book for you.  With interesting characters and a different plot, it was one of the books that has started me back on a reading binge.  These Indulgence titles are just the right pace and length for these busy summer days!My Rating: 4.5/5.0
