Ana has no idea what fate has in store for her when she decides to move lock, stock, and barrel to the tiny kingdom of Maatkare as the resident head chef for the royal family. After leaving her past mistakes behind, she now must garner approval of the stern-faced royals, creating dishes of historical and cultural importance. Her first critic is Noel, one of the Sheikh’s son’s. But soon she is interested in more than his palate, and he becomes enraptured by her.
But not all works in her favor and soon Noel has to make a difficult choice while Ana is forced to leave. How can he reconcile what he knows about Ana against what the evidence proves?
An exciting romantic adventure deep in the midst of the culture of Maatkare.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I've received a ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A very fast pace romance that didn't particularly stand out. I thought there was more chemistry between Charlie and Ana then Noel and Ana. Also the ending came too abruptly. Nothing to rave about. Just a quick and easy read if you're trying to kill time.

Not for me at all, very short and not so sweet, chemistry rushed and no substance, oh you didn't believe me oh okay then I forgive you. Completely unbelievable and implausible behaviours. If it was padded out more, characters fleshed out and responses more realistic it could have been good, but sadly it wasn't.


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest review

I nabbed this one off of NetGalley because I thought it sounded like it would have a very good grovel. I didn't. In fact, it had ZERO grovel. He just shows up, says "sorry" and that is that...much disappointment ensued...sigh.

It took me a minute to get used to the Prince being named Noel. It was a distraction for me. I liked the Chef aspectof the story. I enjoyed Ana's character.
