Mama Mia...where can I get my own Taddeo?? This is the third story in a Foodie-Romance series set in Chicago. Though I haven't read the first two stories, now I can't wait to go back and read them! This story features, Tad, our Italian, bad-boy winebar owner and Jules, our cheeky Londoner, who is also a new Mom. Jules and Tad connect as friends the second she blows into his life to reunite with her brother, who just happens to be married to Tad's cousin, Lili. He's there for her during her pregnancy and to support her while she adjusts to her new life in Chicago. Every one knows they're perfect for each other except for the two of them. But once Jules decides it's time to start dating, the jealousy flares and the sparks start flying. Watching these two dance around each other was immensely entertaining. This author has a gift for creating clever and amusing dialogue and endearing characters. Though this story is essentially a friends to lovers romance, it was so much more. There is a strong sense of family and forgiveness and finding your inner strength to do what's right and overcoming fear to grab your happiness. And let's not forget that the connection between Jules and Tad was HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I think I've got a new go-to author for when I need a well-written story that will satisfy the craving for a happily ever after. Bring on more Chicago, foodie romance!I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
