This story was hard to get into for the first few chapters, but after that I couldn't put the book down. I found myself laughing so hard at the antics of Lina's roommate, Joy. What a wild character she was. Both of these woman shared a apartment together, and both of them have been divorced for years. Their personalities were different as night and day too. Where Joy was out going and wild, Lina was laid back and a more serious type. Joy was more of a man eater, where as Lina didn't date at all.Lina has to do a review on a local restaurant for the magazine she writes for and Joy sort of tags along, since she was the one who told Lina about the great restaurant in the first place. Lina first experience with the food and service at the restaurant wasn't good at all. In fact it was down right horrible, and she even ended up taking her frustrations out on Chef Reid in front of all his customers that night. Joy lays into her immediately afterward, telling Lina just how rude and obnoxious she was. She tells her to put herself in his shoes and see how she would feel,if someone would have acted that way towards her.When they found out the all the reasons behind the things that had gone so wrong from the maitrede, Lina felt like a complete fool. She decides to go to the kitchen an apologize to the Chef, which she does, but she ends up running out of the restaurant mad as hell, when she thinks the Chef was coming on to her.From there the story takes off like a sprinter in the race of his life. The strong attraction between Reid and Lani grows until it can no longer be denied, no matter how much they try. Oh and the roommate Joy? Let's just say she'll find ways to make you laugh so hard, you'll think your sides will split.Would I recommend this book? Heck yeah, you bet I would.
