Rent: Delicious (The Buchanans, Book 1)

By Susan Mallery

Overview & Description

Menu

Appetizer
Cal Buchanan needs a top-flight chef to take over his failing Seattle restaurant, The Waterfront. He can afford to hire the best in town -- the only problem is that the best happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jordan.

Entree
Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance -- she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on . . . and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil!

Dessert
The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth -- or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.

Mary M. writes,

Cal Buchanan needs some help and the only person that can help him is Penny Jackson, his ex-wife. Cal and Penny are working together, but she is keep a secret from, she is going have baby. Cal and Penny didn't work the first time but maybe they can the second time.
Okay I really wanted to like "Delicious" by Susan Mallery, but I could get pass what poor character Cal was! He was the most self-center character that I have seen in a very long. I have the other books in the "Buchanan" series, so I am hoping that it will get better.

It wasn't a perect, but it was close to it. The book was intresting until the very end. . Not very helpful I know, but the book was good light read.

Steven A. writes,

I really wanted to like this book but the author wasted a good concept and servicable characters by delivering a standard romance novel instead of an insiders view of a bustling restaurant kitchen. I hoped for juicy kitchen drama, but received utterly predictable family drams instead. The worst written character was the grandmother whose motivations remained a mystery while she blew in and out of scenes like clock work to bedevil the other characters. Just another crazy old harridan who acts without rhyme or reason. I think I expected way too much from a book by this publisher. I hope an inspired writer will give us a book about a young, talented female chef someday, but this one is not it.
