Predictable, but a fun beach read.
I love her books
Fun quick read.
I really enjoyed the story but It really only takes place in a small section of a larger story. I need t purchase the next book to get some sort of resolution
I thought this was a cute and fast/easy read.
I’m not a big fan of cooking shows so this book, telling the story of two aspiring chefs who fraudulently enter a cooking show as an engaged couple, was quite a departure for me. However, it was very enjoyable. The characters were funny and likeable (except for the villainess, of course), and the ending was very satisfying.
It was really slow. It never went anywhere.
Ok. I like food-oriented stories. The end wasn’t conclusive. The characters were not developed enough to like them or not. Also ambivalent bad guys
Loved the interaction between the characters. Each had an important goal and unique talents that, though different, meshed in interesting situations. Fun read.
Funny and clean. Easy, light read.
A good light reading. Keeps the reader engaged.
Cute enjoyable read.
Fun read
Great easy read, but not as predictable as most romances. Excellent character development.
I usually love books by Leighann Dobbs, but this series isn’t my favorite. The characters aren’t as likable, but it was still a light, fun read. I probably will not read the others in this series though.
It was a fun book to take my mind off of the snow
I enjoyed this sequel. Good character development. Looking forward to the next.
This is a book for people who miss the obvious. More of a romance than a mystery.
Another fun read in the series, liked it so well, I bought the next one!
Enjoyed it, light and fun read.
