Effie Daniels left nothing to chance. A determined CFO of an internet startup, she counted numbers, weighed the cost against the benefits, and always made the argument for the more frugal option. Which meant she hadn’t made her decision to hire a personal chef lightly. However being pampered the weekend before Valentine’s Day would give her the strength to deal with the endless parade of … chocolate and flowers that always invaded the office, and would fill her freezer so she wouldn’t have to cook for a while. If she happened to hire sexy star chef Nessos Aragnos, well don’t let anyone say the company wasn’t doing well. She just had to remember, she’d paid him to be there and when the weekend was over, he’d leave only his delicious creations behind.
The instant Nessos had seen Effie’s picture on her company’s website, he’d known she was his fated mate. That she’d hired him proved it. Plus, it’d provide the perfect opportunity to seduce her with his food and with his body. He was more than ready to take on the challenge of convincing her they were mates.
When she discovers he’s also a centaur, Effie’s wondering if there’s a little magic, or something, in the food Nessos is cooking for her. She’s willing to accept that Nessos isn’t human. That they’re mates? Well that’s going to take a little more convincing, one delectable dish at a time.

It was just an ok shifter book, but it was a steamy romance. It’s about fated mates and has a happily ever after. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a short romance, that hints at shifters.

She wants a weekend where she is cooked for with plenty left over to go in the freezer. He knew as soon as he was a picture of her he knew they were mates. He was glad when he hired her.

When Effie hired a nationally renowned chef to spend the weekend at her home and spoil her with gourmet meals, she didn’t realise she was getting so much more than food. Nessos realised the second she opened the door that he had met his mate, but could Effie also accept that, along with the fact he was also a centaur shifter?

This story could have benefitted from a little more character development. Why was she so driven to work so hard? How did she so easily accept his explanation about being a centaur but not about her being his mate? Overall I see a lot of potential here it’s just not fleshed out enough for my taste.

Effie Daniels is the workaholic CFO of an internet startup business. Deciding to give herself a break and enjoy the pampering experience of excellent food the weekend before Valentine’s Day, she hires Nessos Aragnos — a well-known celebrity chef in New York, the “God of Pasta” — to cook for her! She certainly didn’t need the hassle of a boyfriend in her life. This culinary experience would steel her against the flowers, chocolates, and relationship stuff that was going to disrupt the office on Valentine’s Day.
Nessos, having seen a picture of Effie, realizes she is his Fated Mate. Effie, however, is not so quick to acknowledge being a Fated Mate! His goal for the weekend is to seduce his mate in time for Valentine’s Day. He has very little time within which to convince her and to also get her to accept his secret. She is very attracted to him and wants him. But she doesn’t believe in Fate. He needs to open her mind to centaurs, magic, Portals and other realms. He needs to take down the walls she has erected in her mind. Will she want the handsome, talented shifter in her life? Or will she be too frightened to give him a chance to fill her life with love?
This is a cute story for Valentine’s Day. I really enjoyed that when Nessos started preparing the meal, the author described every step in the process in a way that had me drooling to share his creation! Yum!!! There is no doubt about the sensuality of food!
This book is a quick read about fated mates. Sometimes you don’t believe in fate until it hits you in to the face hard. I am only giving this book a 4 star rating. I wish that there was more of an ending. If you want to know more please feel free to read this book.

A an almost workoholic woman wants to treat herself and hires a famous chef to be her private chef for one weekend. She does not know hat said chef is her mate and will try all tricks culinary and otherwise to make this woman his.
Funny and romantic with a small twist on the way to the happy ending, it is a fun read, entertaining and well-written.
The end was a little sudden for me, as if the author had run out of steam, but all in all a pleasant reading

I have read a few of Mary Winters stories and they are mostly short reads filled with love and fated mates. I enjoyed the plot and characters in Her Centaurs Chef. The detail of Nesso preparing the meals was great.
Nesso is a celebrity chef. He owns a renowned restaurant in NY, has written cookbooks, and a TV show in the works, and even hires out to cook at events.
Effie is a workaholic with virtually no life outside of work. After seeing the Pasta God chef at a work related event she decides to treat herself and liven up her lonely Valentine’s Day, by hiring the celebrity chef for a weekend. Surprisingly, he accepts the weekend before Valentine’s Day. Nesso accepted the booking knowing she is his mate, after he saw her picture. Now he has the weekend to convince her she’s his mate.
Grab your favorite beverage, sit back and get comfortable and enjoy this Valentine’s Day romance – your appetites are going to be titillated.
This story would have been better if there was more interaction between the characters. Also, I kept thinking about a last minute attempt to win Effie with a surprise luncheon at her work. So only four stars, but a good VDay four stars

He cooks like a dream. Is sweet, loving, right kind of emotional and so much more. They are fated mates and she is a workaholic. He seems to know how to knock her walls down. I highly recommend it. I loved it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it .
Effie hires celebrity chef, Nessos, to cook for her for Valentine’s weekend. He does, knowing she is his mate. She’s reluctant to accept the fated mates situation. Very good book.
