***3 stars
I loved the premises for this book. I loved the characters all pitching in for a cook off from their home, to move through the competition to win a restaurant of their own, each having their own specialty to add to the meal. I also loved the setting of this book and found the simplicity of it nice. The character were all likable, but it just never pulled me in fully. If you are a huge Christina Jones fan, it has the magical aspect that draws you to this writer, and you will definitely enjoy it, just wasn't one of my favorites by this author.
Book Jacket Summary:
Cooking seemed like the perfect distraction - until a delicious chef was thrown in the mix ...Escaping from corporate city life into the heart of the Berkshire countryside, Ella Maloney hopes to find rural tranquillity and a chance to sort out the problems in her long-term relationship. On arriving, she realises tranquillity is in short supply, but welcomes the distraction her chaotic new life offers - until she meets devastatingly gorgeous, but equally attached, chef Ash Lawrence, and realises that he's maybe one distraction too many. And when Ella's favourite top-rated TV cookery programme - Dewberry's Dinners - comes looking for a venue to film their latest show, she pulls out all the culinary stops in an attempt to keep her mind on the task in hand (and not on the sexy Ash), but it's hard to keep your head when all around you people are losing theirs ...
