Delicious (The Buchanans, Book 1)
*Starred Review* When Seattle's Waterfront restaurant, the flagship of the Buchanan family empire, begins to sink, Cal Buchanan is called in to save it. He knows that the only way to redeem the floundering establishment is to hire the finest chef possible. Unfortunately, that person happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jackson. The feisty Penny finally accepts his offer of complete control of the kitchen, neglecting to tell Cal that she's pregnant. Cal has a few secrets of his own, including the one that destroyed their marriage the first time around. Seasoned with humor, the start to Mallery's new Buchanan series has a wonderful cast of characters, from the truly evil family matriarch to the argumentative, stubborn, but close-knit Buchanan siblings. Glimpses into the everyday workings of a restaurant, from buying produce to selecting wines, add to the enjoyment. Readers who can't get enough of Nora Roberts' family series will latch on to Mallery's, which is sure to be a hit.Shelley MosleyCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
