Love on the Line was a very cute read and just what I needed to lift my spirits and make me smile on one of our lovely rainy winter weekends here in North Carolina. It had all of my favorite elements... lovable characters with a complicated connection, passion with just a bit of inner turmoil, humor, love and cooking!Kimberly's warnings to not read this one when you're hungry are spot on. OMG I drooled over all the yummy cooking and was kicking myself for not having anything delicious in the house to snack on while I read. So stock those pantries before you dive into this one. LOLViolet and Noah were excellent characters and perfect for each other despite the fact that he is extremely dedicated to his job as a police detective and she never wants to be with a man who puts his life on the line every time he goes into work. After he's injured on the job he needs someone to come in and help him at home and she's always in need of more clients now that she's a personal chef and so the two are smooshed together for a spell. Thank goodness.Violet is one of those heroines I pretty much instantly loved. She's passionate about cooking, is open and honest and really just puts it all out there on the table. And Noah? He's a bit grumpy but sexy as hell, fierce and has a bit of a vulnerable side going on. He was pretty damn delicious grumpiness and all in my opinion.One of the best things about these two was that they didn't play games with each other. They were who they were and they didn't try to change the other or manipulate them into doing what they wanted. They were just good together. Bits did get steamy and deliciously so but scenes aren't extremely detailed.There were some awkward moments with her coming over every evening to cook for him and them having to deal with his injury, the brewing passion between them and just life in general. My favorite moments were when they cooked together. There's something so sexy and intimate about spending time together creating something. It was fun seeing her spark his interest in cooking (and omg he totally cooked for her one time and it was so sweet!). It also added a whole lotta humor that thinking back still sends me into giggles.They really were just a cute couple. I liked how Kincaid handled Violets fear over Noah's safety on the job, how he slowly began to remember what really happened when he was injured and I loved how things ended between them. I would have liked a little more time with them though but I'm a greedy reader and that's just how I am. Novellas never quench my thirst completely but this one definitely put a smile on my face and left me wanting to pick up anything else Kincaid has to offer in the future. If you're looking for something sweet and light hearted that will give you a chuckle or two you need to grab a copy of this one.
