When wealthy playboy Aaron Hudson makes an appearance in the relatively unknown restaurant run by Chef Bree Myers, she believes his presence will be great for business. Little does she realize Aaron is about to change more than her profit margin. He sets his sights on having her and Hudsons always get what they desire. As a somewhat rocky start quickly escalates to a full-blown passionate affair, she finds the upscale world of fame and fortune increasingly difficult to endure and worries that she will never be enough for the charmingly roguish billionaire, the object of her passion and the only man her heart has ever longed for.
CEO of Hudson Cosmetics, Aaron Hudson shoulders more than his family’s business and reputation. His playboy status weighs heavily on him as, after years of not caring about the ramifications of it, he’s found a woman he truly wants. Resistant to his advances, Bree confounds him and he delves into her background, certain more than his reported miscreant ways cause her uncertainty of him. Finding more than he bargained for, Aaron is determined to help her in any way he can and have her as his. A shocking event forces him to pit family and business loyalties against his love for Bree and, in the eccentric world of the Hudsons, matters of the heart rarely win.
I received this book in exchange for an unbiased opinion.
I was hooked from the start! Bree is the strong independent character I love to see in the stories I love the most. She's firm in her convictions yet still has a soft vulnerable side. Aaron is the perfect hero, he's strong, obstinate, with little boy tendencies of wanting his own way...oh and did I mention loaded? He knows what he wants and goes for it with a vengeance. He wants Bree. I was drawn intoo this story and was laughing, crying and laughing again. I went on a frantic roller coaster ride of emotions from beginning to end. Ms Knoble has a style of story telling that grips you in a fist and drags you along with the characters. Her ability to control your emotions makes her a Master Story Teller and I look forward to the ride with each of her books. I highly recommend this book to everyone looking for an adventure in love and HEA. 5 Stars all the way!
Wow! What a sweet, sexy read Chefree is! I love a heroine that calls it like it is and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Bree is certainly that. She also has a soft vulnerable side to her. Aaron comes across as stubborn and a bully at times but by the end showed such emotion not usually seen in such a strong character. I was on an emotional rollercoaster with this couple and loved it. Have your tissues nearby! This was my first book by this author and was NOT disappointed. Look forward to more books from C.A. Knoble.
This book had such a lovely feel to it, I enjoyed being wrapped up in Bree and Aaron's world. Aaron was so sweet and attentive, not to mention hot and financially well-off, he was like the ultimate dreamboat guy. I liked how Bree was able to hold her own with him with no difficulty, and the sex was scorching hot! I enjoyed following these characters as they dealt with their obstacles. I loved this book and can't wait to read more from CA Knoble, she's one of my new favorites.
Chefree is a fairly typical modern retelling of Cinderella. The hero, Aaron, is extremely wealthy and falls in love with Bree who is common & plain in every way. The characters are somewhat developed, but the plot is just too predictable. Additionally, the dialogue is stilted in some places and too sappy in others.
All in all, Chefree is an enjoyable read, but not a riveting one.
What do you get when mix a millionaire playboy used to getting anything and everything he wants and a stubborn independent Chef that grew up poor in the foster system? A very interesting love story that has to be fought for and earned not just freely given.
