A head chef. His assistant. And a night of fiery passion.
I’ve had a crush on my incredibly hot, terrifying and unobtainable boss since long before I even started working under him. My daydreams are filled with dirty fantasies about him as there’s no chance any of them will become reality. Because you really shouldn’t mix business with pleasure.Until you do.The moment Lucien Dumont, outstanding … pleasure.
Until you do.
The moment Lucien Dumont, outstanding chef and owner of Haze, set his piercing blue grey eyes and skilled hands on me, everything changed.
One night sparked the flame between us and now I’m helpless against the wildfire flaring in his eyes. My body craves to be engulfed, but my heart yearns for something out of reach. Something impossible for a Chef de Partie to expect from her boss.
Yet a question torments me. Does Lucien want the same thing I do?
Whatever the answer, I have a choice to make: stand the heat and stay in the kitchen or walk away and get burnt?

This was my first book by Sarah Bailey and I loved every minute of it. The story itself sucks you in from the first few pages and doesn’t let you go until the end.
Riley works under Lucian at his restaurant and has had a crush on him since before she worked there. She is fully aware its inappropriate but she takes comfort knowing nothing will come of her crush, that is until Lucian finds her in the kitchen after everyone is gone. He invites her for dinner and quickly it becomes obvious that she isn’t the only one with desires. When they both give into one night of passion they realize they have no idea how to navigate what comes next. It’s already hard enough for a women in a male dominated profession but if their coworkers found out about them it would only make things worse. Will they be able to make everything work or will their relationship go up in flames?
I loved Riley!! She starts off so quiet and almost timid at times but when she’s with Lucian she is something else. Her character is such an over-thinker, which I can totally relate to, and she had me laughing out loud a few times. Lucian was hot as hell and I’m not ashamed to say I would totally have a crush on him if he was my boss. He’s definitely closed off at first but the more he pulls Riley out of her shell the more he opens up too. I damn near jumped out of my chair and cheered during one scene, you will know when you get there, because he is a legitimate good guy. Their bedroom time is super hot and their chemistry is off the charts.
I highly recommend this book and I am definitely looking forward to reading more by this author!

A quick read that delivers fire in the kitchen as well as fire in the bedroom…so to speak. Riley and Lucien’s chemistry is so hot is combustible. This novella is definitely a page turner with plenty of romance along with a kitchen full of steam. I have a feeling that Sarah Bailey will be joining the shelf as a favorite author after reading this tale and I will also be picking up the other two books in the “Dirty” series.

Enjoyable sweet romantic novella. I loved his dirty mouth. The hot scenes were great too.
Yes, Chef.
I loved this short, low drama, dirty read so much! Lucien and Riley are an amazing pair in and out of the kitchen. They were perfect for each other! Lucien is my favorite hero in this series. I couldn’t get enough of him!
The author pulled me into the story from page one and kept me engaged until the very end. I really enjoy Ms. Bailey’s writing style. If you’re looking for some steamy short reads, I recommend Dirty Series.
