It's weird. I have seen Beth Harbison's books recommended via Amazon the past few years, but have never read her before now. I don't think based on this book I will read her in the future. I did like that the book took place in a setting I know (Maryland and DC), but the main character, Gemma actual...

The Characters: Gemma The Story: I need Ms. Harbison to write more books and faster. Also I need the publisher to hop to it as far as getting audiobooks produced. These books always seem to have the perfect narrator to bring these stories to life. And once you get hooked you’re in for the long haul....

I received this book free from goodreads. This is a well written story featuring Gemma Craig a personal chef who is looking for her true love. The story is easy to read and has some interesting character personalities. I enjoyed the story but it was not something that will stick with you for long...
