Setting up the restaurant in her grandmother's home (as per her request in her will), Sweet Home is in a residential part of Lincoln Park, Illinois. This location, unfortunately, isn't filling the tables, causing a lot of stress in Ashton. Her popular food critic father labeled her a failure long before now and she's not dealing with rude customers very well. After publicly confronting a customer in a less-than-customer-service-friendly way, she's approached by a woman from another table. The PR Agent for a reality cooking show, and if she participates and wins, will take home a prize that will save the restaurant. What Ashton doesn't count on is falling for Celebrity Chef, Ty Cates.It's no secret that Ty Cates can have any woman he wants. Ty doesn't want just any woman though; he wants one woman forever. His hectic schedule, multiple public engagements, and overwhelming popularity make this impossible. Plus, regulations forbid celebrity chef judges from becoming involved with contestants. When he first sets his eyes on Ashton Grey, he knows right away that staying away form her is going to simply impossible.Will Ashon and Ty risk everything - careers, reputations, friendships, and more?Some Like It Spicy is well written novel based in the wildly popular setting of a reality show.Ashton suffers from serious self-esteem issues due in part to a highly critical father and a mouse-like mother. Her thoughts and actions in this regard are spot on. It's hard to feel confident about much when nothing you do is ever good enough for the people whose opinions means the most. The fact that Ashton was still able to become a productive member of society and continue to fulfill her dream is amazing. She is written with depth, emotion, and realism.Ty is an extremely popular celebrity chef that no longer feels the excitement of the status. He misses his family in Georgia that run the restaurant he started. He can't do anything without the paparazzi in his face or his agent barking orders or instructions. He's at a point in his life where he wants to find a good woman and settle down but doesn't know how to make that happen. Being in the public eye has really started taking its toll. I can image most famous peopleWhen it came right down to it, this novel was written so well that I felt like I was starring in it.  I was emotionally invested in Some Like It Spicy from start to finish.  You know going in that there's no way they won't get caught but it's a fun and sexy romp anyway.**Contains Adult Scenes**Review Copy Courtesy Of:  Entangled Publishing, at no cost, in exchange for an honest review.
