Third Degree is the fifth book in the Diamond Brides series, but can be read as a stand alone.I so loved Ashley and Josh's story! Ashley is a line cook who dreams of having her own restaurant. Josh plays third base for the Rockets, but he also wants to open his own restaurant. A local TV show's culinary competition, and it's grand prize of $100,000 is their ticket to realizing their dream. Josh had a bad marriage and Ashley has her own history which makes her gun-shy about getting too close or being exposed. Their chemistry is off the charts and this novel is my favorite so far in the series. The food and cooking descriptions show that the author took a lot of time with research (or happens to be an expert chef herself!). The secondary characters are so well done and their interactions with the hero and heroine added wonderful layers to the story.
