Chef's Choice

Average rating3.7
A fake dating arrangement turns to real love in this deliciously delightful queer rom-com from the author of the sweetly satisfying Chef's Kiss.
When Luna O'Shea is unceremoniously fired from her frustrating office job, she tries to count her blessings: she's a proud trans woman who has plenty of friends, a wonderful roommate, and a good life in New York City. But blessings don't pay the bills.
Enter Jean-Pierre, a laissez-faire trans man and the heir to a huge culinary empire--which he'll only inherit if he can jump through all the hoops his celebrity chef grandfather has placed in his path. First hoop: he needs a girlfriend, a role that Luna is happy to play...for the right price. She's got rent to pay, after all! Second hoop: they both need to learn how to cook a series of elaborate, world-renowned family recipes to prove that Jean-Pierre is a worthy heir. Admittedly, Luna doesn't even know how to crack an egg, but she's not going to let that--or any pesky feelings for Jean-Pierre--stop her.
Another swoon-worthy and heartwarming queer love story from a charming new voice in romance.

I am on a reading spree, guys! This weekend I finished Chef's Choice, which is the sequel to Chef's Kiss, which I read a few weeks ago and really enjoyed. This book stars the roommate of the protagonist from the previous book, a trans woman who has just lost her job and is feeling down on her luck. She runs into a French trans man who has money spare and needs a pretend girlfriend for a few days. What could possibly go wrong??
I do really enjoy this author, with a combo of queer-friendly love stories (mildly spicy) and plenty of food/baking/cooking as part of the plot! I liked this one just a fraction less than the first, I think because it was so ridiculously too-good-to-be-true that it pulled me out of the plot a bit. But overall, great, I'm looking forward to reading more by this author!
