Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
When I saw this come up as a book I should read, I was instantly hooked. Pun as a title, cooking competition hosts, ethnically diverse characters, enemies-to-lovers, and all of the food? Sign me up. And then every time I picked up this book, I giggled at the title. I really enjoyed that this was a solid enemies-to-lovers story, where both characters truly hated each other, but over misunderstanding rather than fundamental aspects of their personality, because it meant that the transition into love made a lot more sense. Plus! Fake dating! Who doesn’t love fake dating with enemies to lovers!? The banter was fun, and overall I enjoyed it. It was a cute book, and I will definitely read more books by this author.
