Till There Was You

I just finished Till There Was You by Lindsay Hameroff and here are my musings.


Lexi has aspirations. To become an executive chef with a michelin star. Getting into a relationship isn't in her plan. That is, until one night she meets Jake. An aspiring musician and after a weekend together, they know this is something special. Jake promises to call her while he is recording his demo in LA.... Trouble is... He doesn't. Jake's dreams come to fruition but Lexi slips from his mind... Or has she? Her blueberry pancakes inspired his first hit single and Lexi has no idea he has made it big until she sees his face on the side of a bus.

Still smarting from being ghosted, she gets an entry level job at a restaurant and plans to climb the ladder in the culinary world. What she isn't expecting is Jake to show up on her doorstep in the middle of the night.... Has Lexi wondering just what kind of a life a chef and a rockstar can have.

The book was super cute. I am a real sucker for love and I believe soul mates can conquer all and watching Jake and Lexi navigate their relationship with all the hurdles in the way, felt so realistic. My husband used to work in a kitchen so I know the author did her research on what it is like working in a kitchen and the politics within it. It can be terribly sexist as well so the author nailed that too.

It was beautifully written and I loved the laughter and the unwavering love between the two of them. I also loved Lexi's friends. They were hilarious!

This second chance romance hit all the markers for me for a solid romance read with a touch of spicy spice to appease any smut reader.

I know some people hate insta love but I believe in it so I will take all the hate for loving this book for that.

4.5 stars! This book is my kind of perfect romance read
