Recipe for Love: A Farm-To-Table Romance by Aurora Rey
3.0
Drew is an ambitious chef ready to land the title of head chef, who moves to upstate New York to run her own kitchen at a farm-to-table restaurant in an effort to hasten her dreams of becoming a renowned chef in NYC. Hannah runs and owns the farm which supplies produce for the restaurant, Their first meeting doesn't do either of them favors and Hannah, especially, is quick to judge city-slicker Drew before Drew even says a word.
I struggled to get into Recipe for Love. Hannah's prejudice against Drew seems really misplaced for a person who deals with customers and tourists and who otherwise is described as a nice person. So her immediate dislike of Drew makes no sense. But then I'm also supposed to believe there's an immediate spark between them, too? None of it felt earned.
But I'm glad I stuck with it because Aurora Rey does eventually make me believe that they actually do have spark, only it comes after they start to get to know each other. The drama is predictable and unoriginal, but the resolution is cute. And I'll give Rey kudos for giving us a protagonist who is black and butch.
