Recipe for Attraction by Gina Gordon is an original, action-oriented emotional romance that I liked very much.  The novel centers around smart and sexy architect Carson Kelly, and her client, wealthy chef and restaurant owner Neil Harrison.  Carson works for her father's small architectural firm, and is in charge of designing and constructing Madewood Farm, Neil's state-of-the art banquet facility which includes a five-star restaurant, rustic reception space and a unique family picnic area that incorporates farm animals and hayrides.  This huge project has necessitated a special professional relationship between Carson and Neil.  Although they are like oil and water, they find each other extremely attractive and a slow, simmering burn is ready to explode.Illegal street racing has become Neil's pastime of choice in order to muzzle his strangling thoughts and demons that are constantly taking up space in his mind.  Carson's previous experience with this extremely dangerous sport causes her to step in and offer Neil a sexual outlet for his need for danger.  Overtime, their hot, sexual relationship evolves into much more.This novel is an exciting roller coaster ride that will keep you engaged from beginning to end.  Carson and Neil are real and their sexual chemistry is off the charts.  With the exception of Martin Connelly, Carson's nemesis, the secondary characters are likeable, interesting, and have their own stories which are just waiting to be told.  Ms. Gordon does a nice job of creating an unconventional romance with a traditional ending.
