The scenes between Anna and Max were among my favorite parts of the book "Perfect for You" (the first novel in the Laurel Heights series). I'm glad that Kate Perry took the time to let us know what happened to these characters.Anna and Max broke up because it was difficult for them to spend time together due to his grueling schedule as a chef and her workload in law school. Fast forward three years later and Anna has become an attorney while Max is the head chef in a popular restaurant. Anna has been so focused on work and becoming financially sound that she ended up losing the spark and spice that used to characterize her personality. She realizes the last time she was truly happy was when she was with Max. Anna finds out where he works and goes to see him in an attempt to reconnect. She quickly finds out that Max has a great opportunity to open his own restaurant in New York, so if she wants to get him back she needs to work fast.Even though Anna is older and has a successful career, she is still plotting and scheming in order to get what she wants. Sometimes Anna comes across as a bit immature and impulsive, but I still like her and think she is adorable. Max is passionate, smoldering, and well-balanced - qualities that make him a good match for Anna. I enjoy these characters so much that I wish the story was a bit longer. I think of Kate Perry books as a great meal that hits all of the right spots, but this novella was a delicious dessert that made me want to keep reading more stories by this author.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who liked Anna and Max in "Perfect for You." If you didn't particularly care for these characters, then don't bother. You can skip this one.
