This was such a cute romance with a backdrop of a cooking show competition. Our first main character Dahlia just went through a divorce and has quit her job to be on the show. London is nonbinary and is on the show so they can start a nonprofit organization. The two connect pretty much immediately, which was a bit too insta love/lust for me. I loved the sweet moments and cute banter. I also loved how protective they both were of each other. The miscommunication trope reared it's ugly head a bit but overall I loved this story and it's characters!

The graphic sex scene in the middle of the book felt like “jumping the shark” because I didn’t care enough about the characters to want to know what happened next beyond them getting together. I found myself dreading picking it up because I was bored.

A good queer love story. I would have loved a little more slow build up before jumping in fully with the love and sex, but all in all a feel good book that hits the right notes and provides a positive representation of queer love in one of its many forms.
