ARC REVIEW Some Like it Spicy by Robbie Terman

The Perfect Recipe #1, I have read the other two books in this series each a stand alone so you don't have to read them if you don't want to but they are sooo goood! I love reading romance that has cooks/chefs/bakers throw in a cooking competition and I'm all over it. I really enjoyed this one, it has humor, excitement, and betrayal. Terman did a great job of portraying the nerve racking excitement of a competition. The sexual tension and chemistry between Ty and Ashton is super hot and breaking up the tension both in and out of the kitchen is the humor, which had some real laugh out loud moments.

Ashton learned how to cook from her grandmother and after culinary school her grandmother died and left her with some money to open her own restaurant. With her two best friends Ashton opened Sweet Home. Ashton has spent her whole life trying to make her father proud he's her toughest critic, and as a famous food critic he's pretty harsh. Ty Cates is tired of the celebrity lifestyle and the paparazzi and all the sycophants who all want something from him; it's been months since been in a kitchen and even longer than that since he's been in his own restaurant's kitchen. He would love to get out of the spotlight and spend some time with his family and just cook but he has contracts to fulfill.

Ty and Ashton fall in love during The Next Celebrity Chef, but fraternization between  contestant and judge is forbidden. Ashton keeps thinking that it's all just a fling and by the end of the show it will be over that doesn't keep her from falling in love. Ty knows what he has with Ashton is much more than anything he's ever felt before and he's willing to risk everything on their relationship. But will their relationship survive when the truth comes out? Overall, it is a great book I loved the cheesy over top ending.
