Jillian Reed wanted nothing more than to become the next Iron Chef, but so far the closest she’s come to her lifelong dream is a cable cooking show in rural Bliss, Virginia. She’s grateful for her blessings, except that she’s saddle with a countrified sous chef who rubs her the wrong way.

But the producers—and the audience alike—love “Boondock” Blake’s witty banter and the way he always manages to get under Jill’s skin. It’s surely a case of opposites attract leads to high ratings!

Laidback Blake might not be as sophisticated as his dignified partner and the fancy food she prepares, but the beautiful chef spends too much time working and not enough time having fun. Determined to spice up her life, Blake starts a campaign to win Jill over with his cooking…and his kisses.

About the author

Lori Wilde

395 books2,264 followers
Lori Wilde can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write.

She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze.

Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.

She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.

Delightful!

Carolyn is a new author to me and Lori has become one of my favorite authors since I found her books. This was a fun, quick read that shows that first impressions aren’t always accurate, it’s okay to let your guard down and have fun, and love can be found when you least expect it. Flirty, humorous and a HEA.
