What that spatula do

It’s always a great time in Ganton Hills. I always look forward to these stories. Ain’t nothing like a man that bosses up on you. Loved the chemistry of the main characters. From beginning to end you won’t be disappointed.

Another Ganton Hills hit!

This short, romantic, enemies to lovers, short story was well worth reading. Duke was determined to get Tanya by any means necessary. Their scenes together were pretty hot. I’d love to read more about their budding romance.

Yes chef!

Ok now chef duke!
Blinded by disdain, insecurities and coming in second place, chef Tanya couldn’t see what she had right before her in her nemesis.
Chef duke was that dude. Reformed but the old gang banger was still just below the surface. He had a public persona for all of his fans and professional acquaintances, but he knew how cook up crack.
Tanya needed a strong hand and a strong man by her side supporting and pushing her to step into her greatness and out of her own way. Everyone believed in her abilities but she couldn’t get out of her own head. Chef duke saw her talent and potential and waited for the moment where his dreams of making her his could be a reality.
All she had to do was say yes chef!

SPICYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Tanya & Delroy had me LOCKED IN the moment I opened Green up ! Like legit the opening scene had me like OH OKAY WE GETTING STRAIGHT TO A POINT HERE! When I say this was really enemies to lovers REAL QUICK! Delroy wasted no time! The things about these men in Ganton Hills, when their mind is made up, they giving the woman they focused on little room to compromise with what they decided. Tanya had her feelings; but she was confused for real. Delroy ended up fixing that confusion for her. Delroy really earned his nickname of Sir Duke because the man really can back up what he talk & how he act. Tanya got with the program lol, as she should have because Delroy wasn’t giving her any other option anyways. Another BOMB read by Aubree for me !

So HOT, So Good!!!!

I love a good enemies to lovers story and this one was great! I love, love, love the opening scene!😁 Was like watching a movie flashback. Duke and Tanya were like gasoline and a match! It was only a matter of time before they exploded. In this case, the explosion was clothes flying off and mouth and limbs every whicha way!😂 I loved how protective Duke was of Tanya. And I legit wanted a plate of all that food! This was a great short story! I love Ganton Hills!🙌🏾

The Chef’s

Tanya and Duke (Delroy) pretty much liked one another since being in Culinary school together but they managed to make sure to annoy one another in some way to dislike one another. It wasn’t until the Ganton Hills chef competition that they both had to be in each other’s presence literally. What turned into Tanya throwing a spatula at Duke and hitting him in his face, turned into their budding relationship. It also turned Tanya into the new winner for the competition and having Duke by her side in support. Loved it!

Enemies to lovers short…

I liked this chef-y enemies to lovers short. It was cute if a little abrupt with the jumping into bed out of nowhere. It’s an erotic short so it’s more bed sport than plot- the premise is that Tanya is partnered in a cooking competition with her long time nemesis, Duke, and sparks fly- and not on the grill. I found the characters to be real and filled with personality even within this novelette. I liked them both and found this to be a cute enemies to lovers erotic short overall.

Sir Duke and Ya Ya

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Delroy aka Duke was known for whipping in the kitchen, IYKYK. Of course end game is to get out of the streets so your favorite Cook is a well known Chef with a “dislike” of Ms. Tanya. Tanya isn’t as known if at all and works in the shadows of others. As she is partnered with Duke, can she put their differences aside to win this competition? Will draw universe put them together where they can’t fight the inevitable?

Go Green with Love

Enemies to Lovers are one of my favorite books to read. Aubree truly wrote another sexy yet delicious book. Duke and Tanya were perfect for each other. Don't be green with envy but be green with love, food, laughs, and some of the best naughtiness that everyone deserves. Great job once again by an amazing writer.

Sir Duke the king of snatch up

Aye this was a quick but steamy read about sex and food. What happens when your tasked with working with the person you hate the most? Tanya may have been slick at the mouth but that only had Duke hooked even more. He was willing to snatch her if needs be. We all love a good enemies to lovers story and this book didn't disappoint.

Duke isssss bae!

This short was everything I wanted. I loved the "enemies" to lover trope and the chemistry between Duke and Tanya...whew. Duke is straight alpha male who knew how to conquer and dominate. When he put Tanya's ex in check I cheered! I definitely enjoyed this short! Nothing lacking!

Green means Go!

When a man wants you... There is no point in delaying the inevitable. Tanya and Duke hid their attraction and took the scenic route to ecstasy. When they yielded to it it was a buffet of a lifetime. Enemies to lovers always fall hard and fast. This short was full of one liners and kept me entertained!

Hot Stuff

Alright, Sir Duke🔥. Duke and Tanya threw barbs, and used anger to cover up the lust they held for each other. When he decided he 'd had enough of the games, he claimed his woman. The kitchen was hot in more ways than one for these two! Hope to see more from them, they were so much fun! Good job! 👍👍👍

Cute enemies to lovers

This was a cute enemies to lovers novella. I confess that I couldn’t help comparing this to Saint and Gianna’s enemies to lovers and I thought the chemistry here was less than their story - also wish there’d been a little more dialogue to hash out the “hatred that really wasn’t” but I still enjoyed Duke and Tanya’s ride.

I cackled from the begining of this book to the end. The tension, the boiling pots, the ambition and impending sex.
Duke getting hit with a pan, Tanya getting hwr back blown by the guy she can't stand but her body wants.
These two are on some other level. Duke adores her and wants her to spread her wings and she is ready.

When you know you know❤️

These two are definitely made for each other and I’m all for the heat between them. Delroy is that dude and when he found his forever he about make sure she done and his and he definitely did that🔥. That man brought the heat and Tanya had no choice but to take it in and revel in his love. Great story of love and discovery 🥰

Duke me please!

Tanya had the world at her fingertips and didn’t know it. From the outside, Duke was an arrogant jacka$$ that happened to be amazingly sexy and a great cook. I appreciated that Tanya was a BBW. We aren’t always portrayed as beautiful, so this was refreshing. ❤️ Although this was a short… I wanted more! 😆 More of their blossoming love. D@&n you, Aubree Pynn! 😆

Well well well “Green” was clear & concise & full of sexual desires. Another Ganton Hills banger. Oops, no pun intended 🤷🏾‍♀️‼️Who am I to criticize nubian 🤎romance/love. However, this book affirm, solidifies & justifies why I don’t patronize food trucks …visions of “ya or sir” essence art imitating life hovering over my tuna melt, cole slaw & french fries, NO THANK YOU 😬🤔🤣‼️

Duke was a wild card throughout this Novella. I loved that his attraction to Tanya start long before the competition. I love the food network aspect of this book and I hope to get updates on this couple in future books. I enjoyed their sexual chemistry and attitudes especially in the beginning of this book.

When cooking got serious…

I enjoyed Green, still wondering how the6 came up with this title…I’m sure it was mentioned somewhere in the book as with the other colors. Anyway, I’m glad Duke & Tanya fixed their issues and ultimately won not only the competition but each other’s hearts too.

Food and sex... That's what this short read was about. A great combination for me. Tanya thinks Duke hates her but the only thing he hates is not being in her guts. Enemies to lovers always makes for an interesting read.

Chef to Chef

This was so good. Duke and Tanya are rival chefs. They are paired for a competition. The sexual tension is so thick, it's palpable. Beneath the insults, Duke and Tanya have to decide if they give into temptation or run for the hills. One-click and enjoy!

Short and sexy.

Enemies to lovers are always a fun read. This story had two of my favorite things, food and sex. Tanya hated Duke and she thought he hated her but that was far from the truth.
