Rating: 4 out of 5

A Cut Above the Rest is the first book in the trilogy Appetite. As the first book turns out to be a slow introduction to the romance between Nik and Alex. This book served more as an introduction to their life in a fine dining restaurant's kitchen. You will get a lot of details about the meals they prepare and the work they do.There's not a whole lot of romance on this book. Just some UST between Nik and Alex. They both have been attracted to each other since they met on their first day at the Culinary Institute of Arts. But Nik decided to ignore that attraction. Now, two years later, Alex is working under Nik and the attraction, and also rivalry, continues.We get to know Alex better than Nik. Alex is actually a great guy. I loved that he is not a slut, not sleeping around at all. He is dedicated to his job and passion. Nik is a bit more of a mystery but you learn that he is very smart and shy when it comes to relationships.Like I said this book has a bit of slow pace when it comes to the romance aspect of it. But if you are a foodie, or interested in food, you get lots of cool details that may keep you entertained. I look forward to the last two installments of this trilogy.
