I am fan of reading books with children like single parent trope is my favorite because they have children with such a great personality that one can help but want the kid to be happy with their parent + said parent love interest.
The story is such a sweet one and i loved everyone i was suppose to love.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

Well I must say I am not a full on romance reader but was taken in by the title 'Kitchen Heat - A Restaurantland Romance' and I wasn't disappointed.

Welcome to the Rose and Thorn restaurant where steamy romance is always on the menu. What is not to like about that. What a fun book and an easy book to read. I love the setting and the characters who brought so much life to this story, the pace of the read is perfect, the them is fun and it makes you smile.

This is going to be a fun series to read and I look forward to seeing what happens next at the Rose and Thorn Restaurant!

Thank you NetGalley and Pumpjack Press | Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book was really good, funny in places, really made me laugh out loud, I loved the characters and the romance, will definitely be recommending this book to all my family and friends.

This was amazing! The banter was so good and I loved it!!! This was such a great slow burn romance that I could not get enough of! I cannot wait to read the next in the series!!!! 5 star read!!!!
I just reviewed Kitchen Heat by Kathleen McFall and Clark Hays. #KitchenHeat #NetGalley

First and foremost, of you're a 90's baby, you're gonna love this one! Secondly, it's formatted like a screenplay which is interesting and unlike anything I've read before. The chemistry between our two main characters is unbelievable and the storyline sucks you right in. This was a fun, fast paced, humorous rom-com style story that touches on serious life situations. I enjoyed Kitchen Heat so much and cant wait for more!

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

For those who have ever complained about the quality of food or service in a restaurant, this is a cautionary tale. After reading Kitchen Heat, I swear I’ll never disparage cooks, bartenders, or wait staff again! I was floored by the revelations at the Rose and Thorn restaurant, the iconic fictional setting for much of the novel’s action. So much drama, so much sexual tension…who knew? I enjoyed this so much!! Kassi is such a good character, and I was rooting for her from the very beginning. I also loved Clay, and his surly attitude. I really liked how everything was set mostly in the restaurant behind the scenes, there’s so much to the dynamic of a restaurant family, and it was fun to watch how even the side characters changed over time.

I enjoyed it as a romance book and had a fun time reading it but the characters weren’t my favourite of the many romance books I’ve read with similair tropes so unlikely to reread it.

I really did not enjoy this book. It was weirdly written, strange at times. This book lost any form of heart in the process.

i loved this book so much!! this was so fun and i'm so thankful that i got to read this one early! thank you so much to netgalley and everyone should pick this up soon!!!

Such a great book!

Kassi is a single mom with a degree that is not very useful to her. Until she enters a contest whose winner will win a movie. Yes, if she writes a very good script, she'll get her name known in the industry and, finally, have money to pay not only the bills but her divorce. But until that comes true, she has to be a waitress to support her daughter.

Clay is a divorced chef. His ex wife cheated on him and he is messed up in every single way, or at least that is what he thinks. But the new waitress is helping him to see things in other way. Can he fall in love with her? Because he knows that he can't go through what happened to his ex one more time.

If you want to know how they deal with the obstacles appearing on their relationship... read this book.

As a person who loves movies as well as books, I adore this one. Formatting it like a script is genius! and something ive never seen before which is refreshing. I'm curious how that looks in print. The inception vibes...obsessed👌🏾. Sam is the cutest! 🥺 and finally, DEATH TO BARRY

Fairly predictable rom com but it was still a good read that I enjoyed it. It was also a quick read.

I found the story a bit slow at first, but after a couple of pages, it immediatley picked up pace. Enjoyable read.

Kitchen Heat had me from the moment I read it was set in the '90s. The book was fun, and I enjoyed the characters despite some plot points being a bit predictable.
3.5/5

I found this book hard to get into. Right from the beginning, the characters were not well developed and I wasn’t excited to read it. The ending was predictable. Isn’t a book I will recommend. I also found the style of writing hard to enjoy because of the perspectives of the characters. Loved the cover art though!

Kitchen Heat was a fun, swoon-worthy novel that completely embodied the found-family trope. Set in a face-paced restaurant with the fast-paced life of a single mom trying to find herself (and love), the novel completely captured my attention and heart.

I want to thank netgalley for an advanced copy of this book

Reading this I found a very sweet read and I liked the chatcter development as the book went on with the romance that toke place, this is definitely a book I would read again.

Having spent a lot of time working in the restaurant industry, I liked how this book reminded me of that space. The writing style was refreshing, each chapter was laid out like a screenplay, introducing the characters, time, and setting. That was something new that made this story unique to me! Helped me be grounded with the story’s plot.
As far as the plot, the story was well written and easy to follow along with. The romance was very realistic and believable. Overall, a good read!
