Love from Scratch

This is the second book in a series and focuses on Ethan, a movie star, and his chef turned dog sitter, Hazel.

I loved Ethan in the previous book and was really keen to see him get his Happily Ever After.

Hazel is a bit prickly in the beginning which is a perfect foil to Ethan’s charming personality. She’s not impressed by his status and he finds that refreshing. She’s also attractive in an unconventional way. Not too polished and totally authentic.

I love Italian food so all I wanted to eat while reading this book was pasta. Be warned, you may get the urge to cook!

This was a really fun read. I liked this author. She writes dialogue well and these two characters has plenty of chemistry.

Steamy without being too blush inducing as well.

I received an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is a fun read with lovely characters, a charming setting and plenty of cute animal moments. While it is a true romance, it avoids some of the annoying tropes by injecting some realism into the decision making by the characters, which is very refreshing. A perfect book for lying on the beach or sitting on the plane on the way to your next holiday,

I absolutely adored this book! It was the perfect light hearted romcom with its heart in your mouth moments waiting to see how Hazel and Ethan would get their happily ever after. Special mention of course to Kevin the car (whose attitude is 100% all cats everywhere) and Harry the dog who chewed too much but won hearts anyway. I haven't yet read Sit Stay Love despite having it on my shelf but will definitely be looking forward to going back and reading that story as well.

A delicious rom com featuring a celebrity pairing and reverse grumpy/ sunshine and he falls first tropes. I was prepared not to like up and coming movie star Ethan but I was once he stated he didn’t want to be typecast as the ‘rom com animal guy’ I was sold! I liked that he was down to earth despite his fame and seemed genuinely nice. Hazel was also a great character. I loved that she was a chef and lived in a tiny house. Their banter and chemistry was amazing and there was definitely some spice- both varieties!

I liked that both characters had their own issues to work through- Ethan his fear of dogs and Hazel trying to find a new job and get her cooking mojo back. A perfect mix of romance, humour and something a bit more meaty to keep you engaged. I’m keen to go back and read Amy’s first novel Sit Stay Love now.

This was so cute - a lovely rom com with reverse grumpy/sunshine vibes! Ethan is down to earth and Hazel was full of life. I liked how both characters worked through their own challenges - combined with a mix of romance, humour and adorable animals
