Cooking with Chemistry: Book 3 in the Love Senses: A Neurodiverse Romance Collection
In this kitchen, love and ambition just might go up in flames…
In the heart of Manhattan, Maple dreams of becoming a chef—but her gift for reading people’s cravings makes any ordinary kitchen the wrong fit. Landing a job at a struggling Italian restaurant feels like fate—until a run-in with the brooding sous chef, Christian, lands her at the dish sink instead of the stove.
Christian has fought hard for his position, but with an envious former colleague watching his every move, he can’t afford distractions, not with his reputation on the line. But when an intriguing new dishwasher with secretive eyes and a surprising talent takes the dishwashing job, he can’t deny the heat simmering between them. And that is very distracting.
When Maple’s unique skill seems like the secret ingredient that could save Christian’s restaurant, will he risk the success of his restaurant and trust the woman nobody believes in or risk losing everything by following his heart?

I believe that this is my favorite book of Jenny’s so far!! Her neurodivergent books are so interesting! This one is about a girl, Maple, who can “see” the food people crave to eat. She is also a chef. It is wonderful to see her is her unusual sense to make herself and people around her happy. This non has a great pace, no hurry up and let’s move on moments. Give her books a try! I haven’t been disappointed!

Clean romance book of two amazing chefs Marple and Christian. I love the banter between them. Marple has a friend from high school working at this Italian restaurant ran by Justin 's uncle. Truly love the characters and cooking chemistry. Marple can tell by looking at someone she knows what they want to eat.
I will highly recommend this book 📚 by Jenny Rabe

4.5/5⭐️
This has to be my favorite book yet out of the Neurodivergent Love Senses collection! The premise of this entire series is so unique and brings awareness to differences most people don’t know about. I absolutely loved the culinary aspect of this book. It seemed well thought out and researched. I felt like I was also a chef in the kitchen! I would’ve loved to have a longer story, I wasn’t ready to let the characters go. This was such a sweet story that you should definitely check out!
