PRAISE THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER. Glad I'm done with this one.At about 30% in, I knew this book would end up with only two stars by me. Hell right now, I feel so angry I may just lower it to 1.5. Seriously. I cannot remember dislikinghating a heroine as much as I dislikehate Miranda Wake. She is ...
Ack SEVEN paragraphs to decide whether to get out of bed or not with a hangover - overkill or what!I'm struggling at the mo, it so over the top descriptive that my frustration is getting in the way of enjoying a potentially good story Only 8% done too :-(I am going to have to come back to this, I g...
This book was great. Besides saving some cocktail recipes and some neat ways to make a sauce and other stuff, I had fun reading it. It has drama, tempers, great characters and the whole cool idea of a book about the inner workings of a famous restaurant's kitchen.
I don't know if it's a new trend or if I'm just really bad at picking out new books, but this year of reading has been overflowing with awful heroines. Less than ten years ago, I remember thinking that all of the heroes were jerkasses, but now the designation of jerkass has switched. It's like curre...
I feel kind of bad about giving this one such a low rating, but I really couldn’t stand the female lead Miranda. She was annoying for at least 90% of the book. I couldn’t find many redeeming qualities in her and could not figure out why Adam or anyone else would put up with her. Selfish, narrow mind...
Hmmm, this is the second book I've read recently where I liked everything about the book except the heroine.Things I liked:The Hero. Adam was a great construct. Lovely, a good philosophy about people, cooking and life -- I just liked the guy.The scenes around the restaurant, the kitchen, the sous-...
This is a fun book that I enjoyed reading.For sharp-tongued food critic Miranda Wake, the chance to spend a month in Adam Temple’s kitchen to write an exposé is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Miranda can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once she learns what really goes on at h...
Food critic accepts challenge to spend time being part of restaurant preparation as way of critiquing attractive chef's culinary arts. But sometimes abrasive heroine is really trying to write a tell-all book about it. Attraction b/w Hero & heroine happens in the meantime. I was not at all impressed ...
The cover of this book caught my eye - I don't know why but I think it's really sexy. I think it's the bare feet and long jeans (sorry, Hannah, I know how you are about feet!). Maybe it's that the model looks tall - you know how I am about tall men.Miranda Wake is a food critic. She's apparently ver...
