I really enjoyed this book, I was really in the mood to read a lighthearted book and this book really hit the spot. I enjoyed the characters and getting to know their backgrounds to know the reasoning behind many of the choices that where mad throughout the book. I loved seeing that connection between Graham and Sloan and seeing how they made eachother better and being theres for eachother to help heal one another. Both had their own set of issues and when things got tough they were really there for eachother. Overall this was such a fun book and I enjoyed reading it.

With No Reservations was a sweet story that I was eager to read with the food theme fascinating me, as you can imagine. It is a good story, easy to get lost in it and enjoy the moment with the (mostly) likable characters (Yes, I am talking about you, Mr. Cooper Sr.!).
The protagonists Graham Cooper Jr. and Sloane Bradley were both complex characters with a pass that was shaping up their present as well as their future. I liked how they supported each other and challenged each other to be the best possible version of themselves.
I wish there would have been a little bit more about the obsessive disorder Sloane had, and how she developed it after the accident. Also, the family relationships with the Coopers were mighty dysfunctional and could have used more light into the problems and solving them.
I really liked Cooper's mom, she was down to earth, loving, caring mom, I liked her ease with Sloane as well.
The charity they were involved with warmed my heart, I know how much that kind of work means to children, teaching them about cooking and nutrition is so rewarding, being done it myself in the past.
Reading about the food bloggers routines, plans, and life as a food blogger was fun. No, my life is very little like hers, I could say the planning and photoshoot areas at home and looking for the best light being just about the only things I was familiar with. But I got a kick out it anyways.
I honestly don't get it how Graham Cooper Sr. got away with the bullying he did in the business world. It came so easily to him it was nearly frightening to think about. There were some other questions as well that I had in my mind at the end, I really would have loved to find out more about the problems between the twin brothers because that was such a big thing in Cooper's life.
A charming story about love, life, family, loss, recovering from the past, learning from it, and moving on with life. It touches some heavy topics, but with a gentle hand, it made me think, and it made smile. A good story with lot to give to the reader

A match made in food heaven! Sloane Bradley may have never thought in a million years she'd give Graham Cooper the time of day for a brief conversation, let alone a kiss. She is a well know & successful food blogger, and has been pulled in to assist Coop to get his new restaurant 'Simone' off the ground.

Both of them have a past. Dark and full of grief. Both of them are fighting to live their lives to the fullest, yet there's this constant abyss threatening to swallow at the slightest turn.

Cooper is at least seeking help and is further along the road of healing that Sloane. As he shares advice with Sloane, this line struck me as something that could be applied to whatever the personal battle you are fighting : 'Recovery isn't a sprint, it's not even a marathon. It's the movement you make every day...... Even if you only crawl'.

I liked that concept. Quite often we feeling like we are crawling through something, and not making a fast enough progress towards resolution. Yet, crawling is going to be more beneficial in the long run. That way, we can deal with each thing, and not have it rear its ugly head later on.

I enjoyed the inclusion of the volunteer work that she & then Cooper gets involved with. I imagine cooking is very therapeutic for kids in need.

There was a few sections that felt a little tedious, but overall a good read from Laurie Tomlinson. I particularly enjoyed Coopers mother's character, Marian - and it was refreshing for once for the mother to be so warm and loving.

Thank you to Netgalley & Harlequin for the eARC. This is my honest review.

Pleasantly surprised. I don't give as many 5 stars as most do but Tomlinson got on with this great story. One click today you won't be disappointed
