This one was just okay. I wanted to like it, but had an especially hard time warming up to the hero. "Smug" describes him very well. He had a real attitude for much of the book and didn't much care who knew it, so it was hard for me to buy into his "conversion" at the end. Dixie's character was more likable, but she got a bit wishy-washy toward the end, which bothered me. The writing was pretty basic--not a lot of depth to it. I believe it was an early work of the author, so perhaps later books will have more to them--I'd be willing to give them a try. Parts of this one were cute and I did like the heroine for the most part (and some of her recipes sounded fantastic!), so there is some promise here even though this effort didn't quite do it for me.I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
