One of London’s up-and-coming chefs, Eddie Tripp has just the right recipe to drive tragedy from the mind of Gideon Kent—and leave him senseless with desire.
THE MEN OF LONDON From Soho to Norwich, there’s no escaping love.
A TASTE OF FOREVER An award-winning chef with his own restaurant and an inexhaustible passion, Gideon Kent once had everything. Then came tragedy. It stole more than Gideon’s home. He hasn’t cooked since.
Until Eddie Tripp. Fun-loving and vivacious, the Norfolk redhead’s a real up-and-comer in Gideon’s kitchen—and other places. Slim where Gideon’s broad, easy-going where Gideon is growly, he and Gideon seem polar opposites, and yet Eddie conjures flavors that would tempt anyone with a taste for perfection. The sauce of love is already simmering, and this pair is about to dine on the most delicious dish they’ve ever prepared. Because Eddie’s been Gideon’s missing ingredient all along.
This was a really enjoyable story and I was caught up in it right from the beginning. Gideon has lost the joy of being in the kitchen at work and he’s often grumpy. He finds himself especially moody around one of his employees, Eddie. Eddie is Gideon’s total opposite but something attracts him to the vibrant young man.
I really enjoyed the bantering and back and forth between Gideon and Eddie. I like the grumpy guy falls in love trope and this one was done well. Eddie was absolutely adorable and he kept Gideon on his toes. I loved watching these two fall for each other and watching Gideon have to admit that he not only cares for someone, but he is getting his zest for life back as well.
There were some interesting and well done side characters and I’m looking forward to seeing them in future books in the series. This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
At over 50, I am ruled by my terriers, my gardens, and my projects. A knack for grubbing about in the woods, making mud pies, and tending to the injured worms, bugs, and occasional bird and turtle growing up eventually led me to working for the Parks.
I was a park Naturalist for over 20 years, and observing Nature and her cycles still occupy my hours. From the arrival of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the Spring to the first call of the Snow Geese heading south in the Fall, I am entranced by the seasons. For more about me see my bio on my blog.
