Dolce and Diana by Cassidy Kent
Dolce and Diana by Cassidy
Phaze
Diana Radford isn’t really looking forward to the arrival of Chance Kohler and his game show entourage, but the publicity that she can garner for Dolce, her restaurant, and Cease and Sekkle, her resort, is supposed to be worth it. Chance has a reputation with the ladies and was, apparently, killer in the kitchen as well. Competing against him on his game show makes her nervous but all Diana wants to do is prove her skills in the kitchen because, win or lose, all press is good press.
Chance Kohler was the latest and hottest celebrity chef. He had taught himself skills that were envied by others and had brought himself to his current fame with hard work and dedication. On his show he had faced off against some of the best chefs around and always come out on top. Of course, the last show had seen him embroiled in a hot scandal but in reality he tried to play things low key. The only place he ramped it up was in the kitchen. That was the place he knew he was the best and some new chef wasn’t going to get him kicked off his own show. After he saw her cooking in designer duds and fancy shoes Chance knew there was no way Diana was going to best him.
Things get hot in the kitchen, and then even hotter elsewhere, as Diana and Chance come face to face and the laws of attraction and good food are combined.
This book is a winner. Combine good food, a hot couple and some nasty exes and how can it not be. Add to that a tropical locale and I’m wishin’ I was there. I have no idea how Diana cooked in those heels, I wouldn’t attempt it, but to each their own. The only thing that surprised me was how fast that Chance became proprietary over Diana but it wasn’t entirely unbelievable, given close proximity of the couple on both the show and island.
With Dolce and Diana Cassidy Kent has outdone herself with wonderful characterisations, food and locale descriptions. There is nothing sexier than a tropical climate and good food. Well done!
I give this 4.5 Ayres (RORR)
