A blackballed chef, and a woman determined to be free. The sparks are legendary.He escaped from a nightmare, and now Hayden Truman is living a dream. After finding a hidden treasure with his brothers, he’s now running his own restaurant. His food draws people from far and wide, but his attitude repels them just as fast. Hayden has a reputation for running his kitchen with an iron fist, demanding … iron fist, demanding perfection on every plate. But when Hayden’s brother hires the stunningly, gorgeous Cadence as the resort’s new accountant, Hayden’s dream is thrown for a loop. Cadence doesn’t put up with his prickly personality, in fact she is one of the few people willing to call out his actions, fighting fire with fire. And dang, if that doesn’t catch his interest.
Cadence Everwood thought she had the perfect life. The perfect parents and the perfect fiance. But one afternoon, after a surprise visit to her intended’s office, her bubble doesn’t just burst, her entire life implodes. Disillusioned from all she’s discovered, she grabs her things and takes off, determined to make a name for herself without the backing of her powerful family. When she ends up at Avangarde Castle and Resort, run by the famous Truman brothers, she is given a chance to do just that and she refuses to jeopardize her new start by falling for a brooding chef, even if he does keep her plied with chocolate.
Things get rough when Cadence’s past refuses to stay hidden and is now threatening her potential future. Hayden might be the answer to all her problems, if she can just stop fighting with him long enough to make it work.

I really like the Truman Brother Series.
This is the second story of “The Overnight Billionaires Bachelors” as the social media had dubbed them. When Cadence, a young woman raised in a rich and powerful lifestyle and set to marry the man that she has grown up with that works for her father finds out the truth about the secret life that she is expected to live like her parents have been living it turns her stomach. She grabs some clothes and leaves that life behind. She turns up at the Truman’s resort applying for the accountant position. She gives no information about her past and after working there a year she thinks she has found the life she wants to live. Hayden Truman, the Chef at the resort has a grumpy attitude and loves making Cadence mad about the expenses he turns in for the kitchen. He does this as he has feelings for her and says he likes a woman with a little fire in her. He makes her join him in a challenge about cooking and tells her he always gets what he wants. What he wants is Cadence and just as they start to falling in love with each other, her past comes roaring back on social media and at the resort. So what can the Truman family do to protect Cadence? They come up with a scheme guaranteed to work, or so they hope. A story full of humor and very entertaining.
This book proves that you can write “sexy” and still keep it clean. The tension between Hayden and Cadence is palpable as they navigate their attraction to each other.
Hayden is a hot chef with a hot temper. He has a passion for what he wants and tells it like it is. Underneath there’s a tender guy trying to get out. He’s attracted to Cadence and takes up the challenge to get her to go on a date with him. Could he end up wanting more?
Cadence has cut ties with her socially elite parents and former fiancée and has sworn off of rich men. Hayden is an enigma and she walks a fine line between annoyance and attraction. Can she follow her own advice to stay away or will the spark between them become a flame?
This is such a charming, cute, loveable story. The strong-will, stubborness, fiestiness of Hayden & Cadence makes such a funny story. I loved the banter between them. There is drama also, of course. I think this is a great series. Laura Ann is a very good author.
Really enjoyed ‘Her Billionaire Chef’! From the plot to the characters, it was lots of fun to read!
I loved the main characters Hayden and Cadence. Their interactions were funny and entertaining and I loved seeing them ‘fight’ 😀 Although Hayden seems very gruff, I loved seeing his sweet and protective nature with Cadence. Cadence was a spitfire which I loved and it was lovely to see her stand up for herself.
The plot was good, and the villains were frustrating. Loved seeing Eli and Ivy and can’t wait to read Nelson’s story!!
Overall, a great read! I would highly recommend it!
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not affected my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.
