review 1: OMG YES. I finished this book with a huge grin on my face. I just love the way Louisa Edwards writes food, and working with food. And Rosemary was a huge geek, which is always cute, and the romance was so, so satisfying, but my favorite thing, my very favorite thing, is that this book has one of my all-time favorite tropes:the con artist dad. The one who really does love you, who doesn't understand why you aren't more grateful for the wonderful training they gave you in childhood, who you haven't heard from in months and then breezes into town, fucks up your life and your emotions, and then hits you up for a couple hundred bucks on the way out the door. Cf. original Battlestar Starbuck, Van from Fastlane, Mac from Once a Thief, Cassel from the Curse Workers trilogy, etc. I... more love it every single time and it was so well done here.
review 2: I thought this one was alright. For some reason I had a hard time starting this. And it wasn't one I just couldn't put down. I like the story line, and the cast of characters at the Market Resturant were very colorful, and likable. I could feel the attraction between Wes & Rosemary at times, but I want to say Edwards really played up Rosemary's smarts, so it seemed like she wouldn't/didn't respond like a 'woman' would. I mean really, what would you do, if you did the wild thing with a guy on the lab floor, then he ships off to an intership with out a word to you, the very next day? Logic says a woman would flip out, and straighten this guy up, but she doesn't she waits, 6m. later he decides he's not coming back to the school, and she chooses then to waltz into his work place and demand to see him, about their previous research.These two were going to research Aphrodesiacs. I thought that would have worked well, into a romantic story for these two. But no, it didn'tAny way, I'd say this was a good fiction, but only a fair romance for Wes & Rosemary. Yes, they got the HEA, but so did Frankie & Jess, and I felt a bit more in touch with their delema then Wes & Rosie. less
