Synopsis
When the pickiest eater in America is tapped to judge a cooking competition along with his chef ex-boyfriend, will it be a recipe for a second chance… or disaster?
Luke Walker’s humor about foods he can’t stand made him an internet celebrity and his blog, The Pickiest Eater in America, a huge hit. He plans to bring that same lighthearted comedy to the show—but he won’t be the only host.
Meyer Thibodeaux might be a famous chef, but he’s solemn, uptight, and closeted. He’s also Luke's ex. As different as they are, the sparks between Luke and Meyer never really went out, and as they work together, each begins to see the other in a new light, and the passion between them reignites, hot as ever. But secrets, gossip, and rumors on the set could sour their reunion

Review
Luke
has a popular internet blog The Pickiest Eater in America, where he talks in
his witty way about the food he loves and explicitly hates.
He
got an invitation from The Cooking Network to be one of the judges at their
cooking contest.
Luke
loves the concept an goes along with this great opportunity.
But
dang, now he understands who is also judging, his ex-boyfriend Meyer.
Meyer
is a famous chef and owns several restaurants. Three years ago he flew to Los
Angeles away from Luke, he was far in the closet and left a heartbroken Luke
behind.
Meyer
is rude and hostile; Luke just laughs and shows his sparkling character. When Meyer
tries to get closer to Luke again, Luke hesitates. No way he wants a repeat
like years ago. The attraction is still strong, Luke is again charmed by Meyer,
he’s so afraid his heart will be broken again because Meyer still isn’t out.
The food contest is a hit, only there are some disturbing things happening.
I
love this author’s work, always, and this one was again wonderful. I read it in
one sitting.
It
had witty comments, the best snarky behavior, sweet romance, beautiful and
delicious meals, there is even some mild angst. The magic and ugliness of TV
were loud and clearly described. It’s all about keeping up appearances.
I
loved Luke, he has a big personality, he was honest, open and considerate.
Meyer
was far more reserved, has little joy and still holding himself back. Watching
him in the kitchen preparing meals was awesome!
The
way of storytelling was entertaining, with engaging mature characters, it was
various and captivating, all written with a warm kindness. The whole plot was
well thought out and well worked out, it had a good balance with romance,
progress of work and relationships, it had also some beautiful side stories. I
especially loved Felix, Louis, and Rosco, they gave this story a heart-melting
swing.
