Chelsea had a plan for her life. She worked for it. Played by all the rules, did what was expected of her—only to be left starting her life over from scratch.
Luckily, she has great friends who help her out, which leads to her becoming the hostess of one of the hottest restaurants in the city—one with an even hotter head chef.
Aloof and mysterious, Daniel is as disciplined as they come. But when he sees Chelsea’s growing interest in him, he directs his full focus on her. He knows it will take time and patience to crack the walls she’s erected around herself, but when he finally does, it will be worth the effort. Then maybe he can let her know the real him.
But can Chelsea break her rules and let Daniel in?
An inveterate traveller, Kait has set foot on three continents and has the other four on her bucket list (yes, even Antarctica). Until she can see them all, she writes romances that take readers to far flung locales, often to places she’s been or hopes to one day go. For now, she’s settled in England where she spends most of her time plotting, scribbling ideas on every available scrap of paper and trying out dialogue on her cat.
Scorch is book three The Long Way Round series by Kait Gamble. The series is focused on a group of three girls searching for love and finding it where they least expect it. This story is about Chelsea.
Chelsea is starting over in life after she is dumped by her fiancé right before her wedding. Leaning on her friends, they help her out and she gets a job at one of the hottest restaurants in the city. After working for awhile, she is noticing Daniel the head chef, but he's barely said two words to her. Why is that??
Daniel is disciplined and therefore pretty quiet in the kitchen. He wants things done right and has no tolerance for anything but the best. He notices when Chelsea shows some interest. He's been biding his time because they all heard her story, and he didn't want to scare her off. Once Daniel goes after Chelsea full on, she's at his mercy. And oh heavens does she like it!
Chelsea and Daniel burned up the sheets in this one! Both think they will quench their thirst with one night of unbridled sex. Which turns into two, then three, then.. you get the picture. I loved watching this unfold. Chelsea is skittish-which is totally understandable, and Daniel is very patient with her. He has one goal and that is to make Chelsea feel good. After awhile, both want more but are afraid to voice it as they think the other will bolt! And just when you think they are getting closer, wham Chelsea's ex shows up! What does he want now?? What does Chelsea do? Is she still in love with him?? How does Daniel react? You need to pick this little gem up to find out the answers!! This is a quick and satisfying read! I wholeheartedly recommend Scorch and the entire Long Way Round series!
