I really liked Flynn and Gabby's tale. Let the past go and create wonderful food and love. I also give them points for making a go of it regardless of her father who gets a little of his own back.

This is the first book by Kelly Colllins that I have read. I really enjoyed the story and her writing style. I found the characters very realistic with showing their emotions. I found myself laughing with the characters. Watching the back and forth between Flynn and Gabby. I will be reading another book by Ms Collins.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley for my voluntary honest opinion.

I adored this book and I adore this series! All of these books deal with couples who find love (whether they are looking or not) after one of them bakes a dessert from a special cookbook. After they bake their one dessert and find love, they are supposed to pass the cookbook along to a needy person.

This is the story of Gabby & Flynn. Flynn is the head chef at Luxe and he is looking for a sous chef after his quit suddenly. Out of all the viable candidates, only one truly stand out - Gabby Mason. But he has reservations about Gabby - she is restaurant royalty in Aspen and her father single handedly destroyed Flynn’s career and having him blackballed. Flynn isn’t sure he can trust Gabby or did her father send her simply as a spy?

Gabby was fired from her father’s restaurant for refusing to steal the competition’s secrete ingredient during a cooking competition. The other team won and Gabby’s dad blamed her since she didn’t steal their precious mushrooms. After she was blackballed by her father, Flynn is the only chef that would hire her. But they work beautifully together - so much so that Gabby’s father gets extremely nervous and tries to get Gabby to come back working for him again.

Can Gabby & Flynn find the happily ever after they deserve?

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated above are mine without biases.

What a sweet romance story in a kitchen setting. This is the 3rd in a series - I haven't read the first two and it was easy to follow along, can be a standalone read.

The thread in this series is a magical cookbook that has recipes for romance. Gabby is looking for a new sous chef job after being fired from the family restaurant by her father. At the Luxe, Flynn is looking for a new sous chef that can keep up with him and his demands. He hires Gabby, despite or in spite of her father - who wrecked Flynn's chances for his own restaurant. Add in the love cookbook and things are bound to get stirred up!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for a temporary digital ARC in return for my review.

Another winner by Kelly Collins!

This is the third book in this series, and centers on Gabby and Flynn. Gabby is the daughter of a horrible father, who sacrifices nothing and takes everything from his daughters to achieve his greatness. Gabby and Flynn used to work for Michael, but both were fired. Now Flynn is head chef at a high-end restaurant, and Gabby accepts a job offer to work with him as sous-chef.

It takes a bit for them to trust each other, Gabby’s father and his treachery are legendary. I don’t write spoilers, but I urge you to read this book and enjoy the chemistry between these chefs and the partnership they create.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

The next book in the series and Gabby ends up with the receipe book. She is working for Flynn, having been sacked by here own Father. Flynn dislikes her because of her family, so can Gabby convince him she is her own person and shouldn't be judged by her family.

A great read, looking forward to the next book in the series.
