This was so sexy!!! As a lover of rivals-to-lovers, I really enjoyed this one. The tension was strong, and of course they never truly hated each other.
From cooking work in the kitchen to becoming a chef, Duke knew what he wanted and he wasn't about to let Tanya run from it. I hope we get to see more from this couple.
Devouredddd! 🔥

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.

✨Book Review✨
I NEED MORE!!!
Duke and Tanya were giving 🔥 🔥 🔥 from the first page! I love a man that knows what he wants and goes after it with no holds bar! Duke wanted Tanya, and he wasn’t stopping until he had her!
Dislike, insecurities, and competition blinded Chef Tanya, so she couldn’t see past that to notice that Chef Delroy's “Duke” was more than a little interested. And if she was being honest with herself, so was she.
This was a very spicy enemy to lovers, with not much plot; the book's premise is that Tanya is partnered with her longtime nemesis for a cooking competition, and sparks fly between the two. I love how Aubree can build so much personality and history within the characters in this short novella.
I’m loving my time in the Hills; on to the next book

duke and tanya were always pitted against each other as culinary rivals so in turn they always said petty things to get a rise out of each other but they’ve always been attracted to each other. the ganton hills chef of the year competition bought them within close proximity of each other
"You are not a sous chef. You are not an assistant chef, you are the chef. Shit, you're a better chef than me. I need you to get out of your feelings for one day and act like it, Tanya.
Everyone is banking on us to win because of me.
Everyone has always compared you and put you in second place. I need you to get out of your head, lose your attitude, and show them who the fuck you are. Don't hide behind me, Aaru, or your attitude anymore. Make them eat every word they ever said about you. You're the one Fucking act like it."

Tanya and Duke were a messssss chile 😂 These two could barely be in the same kitchen without getting on each other’s nerves. The banter and pettiness between them had me entertained, but somehow all that tension always ended with them in bed 😮💨🤤 The chemistry was definitely there.
I really enjoyed their enemies-to-lovers dynamic and watching all that tension slowly turn into something more. The cooking scenes were probably my fave part of the book. I love me a good chef romance, and this reminded me how much I enjoy a good cooking + romance combo, and need to get back into it.
But hunching in a FOOD TRUCK??? 😵😭 Come on now. Y’all had to be doing all that in there?!
Overall, Tanya and Duke were messy as hell, but I had fun with them. The banter, chemistry, and cooking aspect made this a really enjoyable read for me 💚☺️

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.
