I received a copy of this book courtesy of Forever (Grand Central Publishing) in exchange for an honest review.  4 stars!No one really put two and two together when Jules Kilroy when was growing up and really determine that she couldn’t read, she had hid that little tidbit by muddling through school when younger and allowing her dates to order for her when she was older, and eventually by giving herself shamelessly to numerous men which helped to lead her to her current predicament, pregnant and alone.  So when she arrived at her big brothers doorstep broke and pregnant, her brother welcomed her with open arms.  She took the easy way out and moved in with him and his wife but it’s time to take charge.  Take charge of her life, take charge of her dating, something she’s put off since having a baby, and it’s time to take charge or what she wants to do in the kitchen but it’s not gonna be easy because taking charge means that she has to make a certain someone see her once and for all or move on all together even if it means that she will lose her best friend.Taddeo DeLuca came from a proud Irish family that was born to cook.  He used to love cooking with his mom but his dad had other plans for him, now Tad no longer cooks, he avoids it all cost but it’s not because his dad had other plans for him.  It’s because he’s lost a part of himself and there is only one person that makes him feel whole and that’s his best friend Jules.  Too bad he’s no good for her…but to him, neither is anyone else and the fact that she’s going to start dating again has really got his panties in a wad.I enjoyed this book immensely!  I loved the British references from Jules, I loved the quit witted comebacks between her and Tad and I loved the fact that the men in the book are the books.  Nothing is sexier than a hot man in the kitchen!Jules is a smart, fun loving and very independent women but the fact that she has dyslexia and can’t read has her second guessing herself a lot but she loves to cook and she’s not afraid to try new things when cooking which leads some amazing recipes.  I fell in love with Tad from the very beginning.  He was an amazing best friend and was always there for Jules when she needed him and always tried to make her see just how special she was even when she didn’t think so.  My heart broke for how hard he was on himself though for something that he had no control over and fact that he suffered ten years later believing that he wasn’t worthy of having a happily ever after.I didn’t realize going in that this was actually book 3 in the series and while you can tell from the beginning that you are missing part of the story, it didn’t take anything away from the plot or the story itself at least I didn’t believe so.  I will tell you that this book was good enough that I will be purchasing book 1 and 2 so that I can see what I missed.
