Passionate Grumpy Chef

by Emily Spring

Meet Washington, DC's culinary genius, silver fox single dad, and my unexpected grumpy detour.
In a city of power plays, his restaurant, "Éclat," serves up more than just Michelin-starred dishes.

Introducing the latest sauces in the market, I intended to keep things strictly professional.
But between Eric's smoldering glances and Thomas's infectious giggles, my resolve melts faster than chocolate on a hot stove.
Eric, with hands that craft perfection on a plate and a heart fiercely guarding his son, challenges every rule I've set for myself.
His world is a delicate balance of flavors and family—now, he's inviting me in.
But can I blend into Eric's recipe for life, or will the pressure spoil everything?

As Eric and I dance around our attraction, I'm left simmering with questions.
Can love truly conquer the heat of the kitchen?
Or will joining Eric and Thomas mean getting burned?

The story flows like a slow and calm river the same way as Diana's and Eric's love story. From silent attraction to bringing it to light and further exploring it. Small steps in establishing their relationship and Diana's inclusion in a single Dad's and Michelin's Chef's world.
Readers are invited to the Age Gap Romance where descriptions of main actions and thoughts are of great focus.

She had every intention of keeping their relationship professional but when the sparks ignite fueled by desire that can't be denied, Diana finds herself engulfed in everything Eric. Add in an adorable little boy and she never saw it coming.

Talk about a book you will binge read from the very first page and it will keep you up at night until you finish reading it. I made the mistake of starting this wonderful book right before bed at I finished reading it in the early morning because I had to see how Eric and Diana's relationship was going to end, and it ended very romantically.

This slow love story focuses alot on Eric and Diane's internal refections of their actions towards each other. They both go through alot of professional and personal triumphs in the story. The ending however has a romantic happy ever after.
