Delicious by Sherry Thomas
4.0
Sherry Thomas has an uncanny ability to make a person feel with her magical writing. Her words contain a semblance of poignant undertone and with her artful skills, she can successfully imbibe her beautiful stories in the readers’ hearts.
This was my third book by this author but I knew it the moment I read her first book that she’ll be my new favourite author. She takes a cliche plot and spins her own unique twist in it. And the result is utterly brilliant.
This book revolves around old love and second chances. Stuart and Verity had one magical night together ten years ago when they fell in love. Just one night. They were basically strangers, but they felt that unseen force that tethered them together. However, Verity had secrets so she left him the next morning. Later as we come to know, Stuart spent these ten long years yearning for her. He hired people to look for her but he never found her. At last, he decided to marry a good old friend. Just when he decided to move on, his neatly assembled world plunged into chaos again.
Verity served as a cook to Bertie, Stuart’s older half brother. Although she was a duke’s daughter, dire circumstances had led her to flee her home and seek employment on her own. She and Bertie were lovers, but he refused to marry her. So she thought she would exact revenge on him by using his brother. Little did she know she would fall in love with Stuart.
Every word in the book holds a steadfast grip on your heart. I could feel the angst, the emotions the characters get as they fell in love. I love how each of this author’s characters are well accomplished and knowledgeable in a certain field. They are renowned for their dexterity.
This book also contained a secondary love story. I didn’t care much about it because I was too engrossed in Stuart and Verity’s story.
If I were to complain about something with Sherry Thomas’ books, it would be the abrupt and unsatisfactory endings. Every book of hers have left me wanting some sort of closure. Nevertheless, the quality of her writing and the incredible characters are enough to overshadow this flaw.
Overall, this was a great book with all the typical Sherry Thomas angsty feels and an amazing hero with unending devotion to his lady love. I am so surprised this book has such a low rating. But anyone interested in this book should not be discouraged by the poor rating and maybe bad reviews. If you have previously read Sherry Thomas and like her books, then you should go for it. Personally, I loved this book so I’ll recommend it to others.
