Review: A Disappointing Read That Could Have Been So Much More
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a m/m short story romance about a chef and food critic that do a dance of conflict back and forth that explodes into passion during a dinner service that the chef has invited the critic to. It was all right, but I had little interest in reading the subsequent books in the series, or even rereading this book. I think the reason I disliked it so was because the chef seemed to not care how much he used all the partners he had around him, nor was he concerned with sexual disease from having so many partners. Another problem I had with it was the fact that we never got in depth with the characters enough to warrant subsequent books, in my eyes.  It was a quick read, but in the end I was disappointed in the lack of connection with the characters and the lack of understanding as to why the characters were the way they were written.  Perhaps the history comes in the other novels in the series, but this reader was not hooked enough to care.
