I had a fun time reading Love on the Line by Kimberly Kincaid. It was certainly a good break from my other longer and darker reads.Violet is asked by her brother Josh to be a caregiver for Noah, his police detective partner, while Noah recovers from a gunshot wound. Having shared a steamy kiss with Noah two years ago on New Year's Eve, Violet is reluctant to her brother's request, but agrees. Weeks together sharing meals, cooking, and talking proves that their feelings goes beyond just being acquaintances.Soon their relationship moves from the kitchen into the bedroom. But, Violet has reserves about being with a man like Noah, someone who puts his life in danger every day due to his career. Her father, who was also a cop, was shot and killed seven years earlier. She's not sure she can withstand the pain of losing someone she loves again.Love on the Line provided me with a cute, sweet, and sassy story that also made me hungry with all the delicious food talk! It was an enjoyable read and I especially found the characters very likeable. I rooted for them from the start. I also liked the gradual buildup of their relationship which felt realistic. They didn't jump into bed within the first five minutes of the story. The attraction between the two was nicely written out as well and the author made it obvious that they were made for each other.Simply put, Love on the Line was a delicious read. Filled with a fun storyline, sweet characters, and delicious descriptions of food that will make you go hungry, I devoured Love on the Line in one sitting. I'd recommend this short story to any romance readers looking for a light, sassy, and fun read without the unnecessary drawn out drama or angst.Love on the Line makes for the perfect beach read or just a fun romantic escape. Also, Kimberly Kincaid was kind enough to provide her readers a recipe of Violet's Chicken and Dumpling Stew at the end of the story! YUM!
