The Secret Ingredient

Fun Foodie FF Romance. This is a lesbian romance where the two ladies are about as opposite as it gets - one is a trained chef working for a corporate restaurant group, the other is a legacy baker who took over and revitalized her mom's shop. As a short romance, it works well in that it hits all the requirements of the genre (yes, including sex) and executes each solidly - but you're not going to get the conflict and growth of a 100 page longer book. Though there are still significant, more complicated than Hallmarkie, conflicts here. Ultimately a fun book that hits all the right notes and even manages to highlight the particular region it features very well. Very much recommended.

The Secret Ingredient is sweetness or maybe it is patience in KD Fisher's contemporary romance. Two women who could not approach cooking or life more differently meet and sparks fly in chemistry and attitude. Isn't this how we like our romances? Fiery? Passionate?

Fisher includes cute moments as Adah is also sensitive and adorable in her bashfulness. The secondary characters bring more than just a diversified flavor to the book as I would love to see their stories too. Well all except for one person's and he will go nameless since he will be just a flash in a pan...pun intended. (laugh)

Fisher's descriptions of Maine are beautiful and make me wish I was back there. I do not know enough about cooking to know if what they were talking about would taste good, but I did get up for snacks multiple times while reading...just saying.

Read The Secret Ingredient and tell me what you think the secret is...it could just be Fisher's magic.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
