This story started out strong with really good main characters. You could also see that they were both running themselves ragged even though it was for totally different reasons. The differences don't stop there either. Teagan will do just about anything to NOT be cooking in a kitchen. Adrian lives to be cooking in a kitchen. They each have deep reasons for those feelings.
I was enjoying the story until for me it began to feel like it was dragging somewhere in the middle. So I liked it for the most part, except for that slow down.
Something that I found interesting when it came to cooking was how Adrian was taught by his grandmother. To feel the food he was preparing and to listen to it and think outside the box.
Teagan's love for her father is clear. He is charming but also irresponsible in some ways. Thus putting them all in danger. He was stubborn like his daughter and had me shaking my head more than once.
The story picks up and comes to a good ending.
