Love is like Texas chili -- the hotter, the better.
Chino Delgado is the Chili Man--and he knows how to turn up the heat! Chino's not only a chili professional--he runs a chain of chili restaurants--but a veteran of more cook-offs than you can count.
Hallie Bergstrom, on the other hand, is new to the world of chili, with its secret ingredients, odd alliances and funny names. Her alias is Classy Lassie, and she's involved in all this because of a bet-with Chino. If her chili can beat his on the cook-off circuit, he won't turn The Cellar--Cedarville's historic coffeehouse--into just another link in his chili chain.
But watch out! When a sexy Texan and Classy Lassie get together, more than the chili sizzles!
This was the first romance novel that I ever remember reading. I LOVED this story so much that I started reading all the Harlequins that I could get my hands on. One of these days I'm going to order a copy off Amazon's used list for my collection and to re-read it.
This was a book I read when I was about 14 or so, and I can't even remember just how many times I read it! Seeing the picture of the cover brings back such great memories! I loved this book and wore it out so badly the front and back cover eventually fell off! It is a very sweet and saucy story! I can't wait to find this again at a used book shop!
One of my first romance novels, read in hiding from my mother lol. I honestly can't even remember if there was sex scenes (I don't think so), but do remember it gave me that swirly feeling in my gut and made me go "awww"!
Sweet story, remember it fondly, and would love to re-read it again at some point!
Great book! Set in Texas and set amongst the Chili cook off scene, this book has it all. Funny, charming, some mystery and excitement! Highly recommend!
