Third Degree
A hot baseball romance by bestselling author Mindy Klasky.
If you can't take the heat…
Chef Ashley Harris wants to own a restaurant – that's why she attended culinary school, and that's why she's working for the world's most lecherous restaurateur.
Raleigh Rockets third baseman Josh Cantor wants to launch his investment restaurant with the family recipes he loved growing up. Josh has been promised that treasure trove – but only if he can convince his grandmother that he's dating again, after a traumatic divorce.
When a cooking reality show comes to Raleigh, Ashley and Josh must compete against each other to achieve their dreams – even when the flames in the bedroom roar higher than the ones in their kitchens. In the end, only one of them can win Who Wears the Apron. Will their relationship survive this trial by fire?

The 5th book in Mindy's Diamond Brides series of novellas. I'm enjoying these and they're a nice break between longer books. Yes, Mindy's a friend of mine :) I think her writing just flows and she has a nice light touch of humor in all her romantic stories. And she does her research! This story has a chef for the main female protagonists. I'm not a foddie, but I wanted to sample some of those dishes!

*I received a copy of this book as part of LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program in exchange for an unbiased review. Brief plot spoilers may follow.*
Summary:
Ashley Harris is a jaded chef who enters a local cooking competition where the winning prize is enough capital for her to achieve her dream of opening her own restaurant. Stuck in a job where she constantly has to ward off a handsy manager, she really needs this risk to pay off. Her real piece of competition comes in the form of hunky Josh Cantor, a baseball player who also has a lot to lose by not winning the competition. His grandmother Angel is battling Alzheimer’s and steadily getting worse, but she is very adamant during her lucid moments that she’d love to have a great-grandchild before the dementia fully sets in. Josh too is jaded, from a mismatched marriage and awful divorce, and has sworn off the idea of falling in love again. But Angel drives a hard bargain: Josh must find love again, and for every photograph she sees of the new couple, she’ll hand over one of the recipes in the cookbook Josh covets so much. Josh agrees to the bargain, but as he begins to fall for Ashley, he realizes he made a mistake.
My thoughts:
Ashley and Josh were just about all of my favorite parts of Third Degree. I was really pleased with the fact that Josh wasn’t the normal alpha male type that I usually see in these books. He wasn’t overly confident, didn’t see himself as being above everyone, and while he gave off the detached, smooth vibe he was actually very observant and not without a conscience. I liked that he immediately bristled about having to potentially trick both his grandmother and Ashley, instead of not thinking about it at all until he’d fallen in love with her. I thought Ashley was a normal girl in all the right ways, not too tough that she needed to be brought down a notch, but not ready to dissolve at the first sign of trouble. She had a reasonable (and understandable) amount of hang-ups and even though we didn’t get to find out details about either of their families (which I wouldn’t have minded), I feel like we were still given a good sense of who both characters were. I felt like I understood their motivations, a good chunk of the reason why they became who they were, and I liked that they both had at least one good person on their sides. I liked the way that the plot unfolded. I didn’t feel like there were too many contrived scenes, save for the ending, but I liked that I could understand how events and situations could come to pass instead of them just popping up out of nowhere. I also liked how the conflict was brought out in the open; I never would have expected it. I was halfway expecting someone to hack into Josh’s phone and a public scandal to erupt so I was pleasantly surprised when that didn’t happen. I think this book had probably the most unconventional phone sex scene that I’ve ever read, and at first I thought it was going to end up creepy but it was quite intriguing. Another thing that I liked was that the food got its shine as well. It wasn’t a book about food and romance where food takes the backseat. It had a prominent part in this book and I appreciated that attention to even the details.
As for things that I was not so fond of, even though I thought the ending was creative, it did seem a little rushed. It would have been nice to see how everything played out with both Ashley and Angel; I didn’t feel like there was ever a proper conversation to resolve the conflict. It would have been nice to see how Josh’s plans changed as a result of what he did for Ashley or how he explained his actions to her. There were a few grammatical errors but nothing too large. I kind of wish that there was a bit more attention to the baseball, more so Josh’s attitude towards it. Even though this is touted as a baseball romance, it rather than the food takes a backseat to the rest of the story.
Overall I don’t have too many complaints with the book. I thought everything was well-written, descriptive enough for the reader to understand everything that was going on, and a simple plot/writing style that still had the ability to be thorough. I liked the mix of smaller characters, loved the main two, and I actually enjoyed that there wasn’t a heavy dose of vulgarity in the sex scenes. This from a chick who reads erotica on the daily. LOL Anyway, I really enjoyed Third Degree and I’m looking forward to checking out more books in the series!

I'd like to thank Library Thing's Early Reviewers for this book in lieu of an honest review.
I really had to think hard about this review, only because I understand the blood, sweat, and tears that may go into a book and I'm not mean. I'm not. I promise. On books such as this, I usually only star rate a book accordingly and not review but this required a review. Here goes...
I have never read this author before but the synopsis looked interesting. Also, the models on the front cover I know as Katy and Daemon from the Lux Series. (cover junkie alert)
I think the story could have been far more flushed out beyond the novella size, and certainly not so insta-love for Josh and Ashley. The entire book took place over a few weeks and going from zero, to zero and lust, to anger and immediately HEA with a TV audience? Wholly unbelievable.
I also had issue with the writing conventions, commas, and overuse of exclamation points! Every! Other! Page! had a sentence with an exclamation point. Normally, I don't notice this kind of thing, let alone point it out, because I'm not a huge grammar guru or paragon of proper punctuation (Good alliteration, perhaps?). I do know my college prof for English barked at me for two semesters over my comma splices. I digress...
I can't review the rest without spoilers, so I'll hide these appropriately.
Our two main characters, Josh and Ashley, did not have chemistry. I wasn't feeling it. At all. There was no draw other than she was just there. They didn't have witty conversation. No firing barbs back and forth. No meeting of the minds, no commonality other than competitors, or any thought besides, "He's hot." or "She's hot."
As for Josh's grandmother, she came across as meddling despite her senility. She wanted him to be happy and decided an ultimatum would encourage him into a long term relationship.
Lastly, it was apparent that Josh loved to cook, despite his job as a professional baseball player. How is it that as an adult he doesn't have one single recipe from Grandma Angel's coveted family cookbook (passed down through the ages)? He never once cooked from it even though he knew what recipes she had? Even though he loved to cook?
Overall, I felt the story could have been fleshed out to be more believable. Characters needed depth beyond what the reader is given. Writing conventions could easily be improved. My only consolation was that story itself was a quick read, only 115 pgs.

I was selected to read and review a copy of Mindy Klasky's latest book, Third Degree, through LibraryThing. This is book five in the Diamond Brides series and the sixth is being released any day now. Each book focuses upon one of the players from the Raleigh Rockets, a professional baseball team in North Carolina. The two main characters of this story are cooking show competitors, Josh Cantor, the third baseman for the Rockets and Ashley Harris, a professional chef.
Josh may be making a lot of money as a pro baseball player, but his ex-wife is the one presently reaping the benefits from his hard work. As an aside to his baseball career, he has always wanted to own a restaurant that features his grandmother's delectable recipes. Unfortunately for Josh, his grandmother is holding the recipes hostage until she is satisfied that he has found his one and only. She agrees to give him one recipe at a time, as long as she gets regular proof that he is dating someone seriously. Josh enters the cooking competition in hopes of making his restaurant dreams a reality, and what he ends up getting is so much more.
Ashley loves to cook, and the food that she creates is a work of art. She just lost her job as head chef because she would not let her lewd boss give her a pinch, rub or caress on a daily basis. She is a smart and beautiful woman who just needs a break. Entering and winning the local TV network cooking contest would allow her dream of owning her own restaurant to come true. The grand prize is 100K, in addition to a few other amazing extras, and one just happens to be a hot pro baseball player.
I liked Josh and Ashley as individuals, but not as a couple. I did not feel their sizzle and heat when they were together. However, as their relationship evolved, I did enjoy their meaningful friendship. Josh's grandmother is a real trip and knows what she is doing, even as her memories begin to fade. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. Overall, this is a solid story, with an entertaining plot, well-developed characters and a nice happily ever after.

This is a cute predictable romance story of how two people compete to win a chef’s competition. Josh is a professional baseball player, but dreams of opening a restaurant of his own, serving food based on his grandmother’s recipes—which she will dole out to him one at a time during the competition, a long she can see evidence of an on-going, promising relationship with a woman—she desperately wants a new grandchild before she dies, and her health is failing. Ashley loves cooking but despises her lecherous boss and the moves he keeps trying on her. Both are determined to win the competition. When they get together, sparks fly between them, but, as competitive and determined as they are, they hold back their emotions, devoting all their efforts toward the competition. How does all this turn out? Who wins the competition? The author has woven a predicable but enchanting story around this angle I enjoyed reading about the two key characters and the many twists and turns of the competition and their relationship. The story is not very long and drawn out, but short and sweet. I have read others in this series, and, while this one was quite well done, it is not my favorite. I think the predictability got to me. Still, it is still another good summer or anytime read for someone looking for something light and easy. I received this from Library Thing to read and review.

The Characters
Ashley Harris and Josh Cantor seem to be a perfect match from when they first meet. I don't have any strong feelings either way about either of them. I liked them well enough but don't have any overwhelming memorable feeling for them. I really like Angel and my heart breaks for her as I know they won't have her around in the same way much longer.
The Story
Ashley and Josh's relationship is flirty, fun and steamy. It also gets a bit complicated but what is life without complications. I like the idea of the TV competition (though I hated the name), but I'm not 100% in love with the execution of it. It seemed like neither of them were working all that hard on it by the last round but there are reasons for that. You'll have to read about them yourself.
Random Thoughts
A decent addition to the series but it can totally be read as a sand alone. We get a glimpse at some past characters but not enough to make you feel your missing any of Ashley and Josh's story (which you aren't, they meet in this book)
Overall, I give this story 3.5 Stars

I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I really enjoyed this book from a number of standpoints. Though Josh is a baseball player, this book is more about cooking. I'm not much of a sports fan, but give me a book about food, and I'm all over it. Josh and Ashley both want to open restaurants and are in a city-wide competition to win seed money to start a business. I loved reading all the foodie aspects of the book. However, Josh considered himself a chef but didn't have any of his own recipes? I got somewhat stuck on that.
I liked them both as characters, but I didn't actually love them together. The sex scenes? Wonderfully steamy! However, I was more interested in the friendship that they were developing.
I am going to pick some nits here - I wish that this author had used different names for a couple of the characters. Angel, Ashley (you have a whole alphabet to choose from!). Mr. Throckmorton, Mr. Morton - again a little diversity would have been appreciated.
That being said, overall I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Ashley Harris has had a Master Plan since childhood, one that includes owning her own restaurant. To do that she is hoping to become a contestant on the competitive cooking show with a grand prize of $100,000. Josh Cantor loves being part of the Rocket's baseball team but he also wants to open his own restaurant. To do this, he needs his grandmother's, Angel, recipes, but in the early stages of dementia, she is holding her precious notebook filled with culinary delights hostage, with demands of a marriage and great-grandchild. After meeting Ashley on the set of Who Wears the Apron, Josh decides to trick Angel with pictures of him and Ashley together in the hopes of gaining her recipes. But as he gets to know Ashley and they progress further in the cooking competition, will this ploy backfire on him. Another good read in the Diamond Brides series. Since I love watching cooking shows, this one was especially delightful. Warning: explicit sex. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute story about a talented woman chef and a baseball player who are contestants on a local cooking competition. They have each joined the competition for different reasons, but find that sparks fly when they meet. Each is a talented cook, and they end up working together/against each other over time. My main problem with this quick read was that I wasn't convinced by the reason for his need to compete in the competition. He didn't need the prize so much as for things to come together properly. They are both fun characters who have personal histories that shadow but don't steer their relationship with each other. Overall, it was a fun read.

Another great story by Mindy Klasky. This time we have Josh Cantor and Ashley Harris as the leads. Ashley is a chef and is trying to open her own restaurant by entering a contest on a local tv show. Josh plays for the Raleigh Rockets and is trying to open his own restaurant too for investment reasons.
Ashley and Josh meet at the competition. Josh is only planning to use Ashley to get his grandmother's recipes. His grandmother, Angel told him he had to date the same woman and show proof with pictures. I loved the little teasing each of them do.
So who will win the prize of opening a restaurant in the Rocket's stadium after this contest? You have to read Third Degree to find out.

Once again, a homerun! I love the Diamond Brides series! Not a one of these books has disappointed me. This one was wonderful! I loved the reality cooking show idea. I enjoyed where Josh was getting his inspiration from. While Angel, Josh's grandmother, may have been somewhat misguided, her heart was in the right place. I liked what happened at Mangia. That was an awesome and justified scene. I smiled at Josh and Ashley getting to know one another. I think the end of the game show contest was perfectly executed...and he's safe, safe at third...lol. I can't wait to see what's happening at short!

I have enjoyed all the books in the Diamond Brides series, and this one is no different. I liked getting to know Ashley and Josh, and I was glad that it was the off season for baseball. The cooking contest was a fresh approach, and Angel, despite her dementia, added some comic relief. Is the story short and the reader is left with wanting more? Yes, but Klasky seems to be writing furiously in this series and before I know it, the next story has arrived! Maybe Klasky will provide additional stories to wrap up loose ends, but if not, I'll keep enjoying the happy endings.

Josh needs the win to restart his investment portfolio after a very expensive divorce, Ashley needs to win so she can quit her current line cook job for a overly grabby boss & open her own restaurant. Circumstances bring them close & an ailing grandmother will tear the apart. Can they find a way to get back together? Who will win the competition?

A sweet story about how a couple meet and compete to see who can become the towns masterchef and gets to start their own resturant. During the competition Josh is seeking help from his senile but charming grandmother who in turn blackmails him in hopes that he will find love again.
As usual, it's always something and someone that causes trouble, will Ashley and Josh admit their feelings for each other and who will win the race?
Good book, easy reading and moderately long.

While this is the 5th book in the Diamond Brides series, it could be read as a stand alone as the main characters are new and different. Like the others in the series, this was a fun and entertaining book! It's a quick read, great for the beach! Loved the chemistry between Josh and Ashley and was definitely rooting for them in the end! Very fun book!

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Though this book is filled with humor and witty dialogue, I felt that the storyline was a bit rushed. Other than that, it was a fun read and I found myself giggling aloud many times.
