Status Updates From The Chef (Princes of Toval,...

Getting hungry just listening to this 😋

There might be a plot on the sideline, somewhere.
Mostly this is about 1 person who really loves cooking, with magic.
Thoughts about cooking, actually cooking, just cooking.
Nothing like worldbuilding here, we just met Swiss cheese, and so many potatoes, or pasta.
I give up.

Now, I am hungry... 😂
This is a little highlight so far... 🥰❤️

Yep, loved it!

SO much has happened. SO much. I'm still enthralled. Note for those who might mind, this book is sweet kisses and entirely fade to black from there, but, the tension sings. And TG this is PrinceS of Toval! I already can't wait for the next book, it's already got "touch him and die" vibes! (Or touch him and be imprisoned...!) I'm so here for all of this.

A man whose love language for his chef is "I see how passionate you are about your work and I gift you this fabulous kitchen where you are in charge." GAH. This book!

Cackling!!! "That's the face all my children make when they've fallen in love. Tell me who the lucky man is, dear." LOVE. IT. SO. MUCH. I've known this MC's family for one half page and I already adore them.

Oooo revelation of secrets and more secrets is HOT. Damn. I love this book!

Competency is HOT! I hate cooking, but wow, do I love reading about Char cooking. And Fen finding Char's fascination with cooking and his expertise adorable...also HOT. This book is also a strong testament to a mere touch being sexier than full physicality. Have I found a new favorite author?!

Decided at random to try an author I've never heard of. This book is utterly fascinating and immersive and I LOVE it so far. Stellar writing. Slow-burn romantasy featuring a truly knowledgable chef who's swept into a spy mission by an intriguing military leader, anyone?
