Yes, Chef

'Steamy, romantic, and deliciously fun! Yes, Chef is a delectable morsel of a summer romance and will keep you coming back for seconds' B. K. BORISON

'I ATE. THIS. UP.'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'This is one of the best things I’ve ever read and idk how to be casual about it😭🫠' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'No notes. Yes, Chef was perfect! The banter and the spice 🥵 I'm still recovering' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you can’t take the heat…get out of the kitchen. After a public meltdown in one of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants, Chef Jack Hartman must return to his small Florida hometown. The only upside? He’ll be far away from Poppy Winfield – his former boss’s blonde, beautiful, utterly infuriating daughter – and the shrimp she threw at his head.

Poppy is also desperate for an escape – from her disapproving family and from her infamy as an influencer without a serious bone in her body. With their reputations in ruins, Jack’s only ticket back to New York is turning the unloved restaurant of his childhood into the newest dining hotspot on the East Coast. And unfortunately for him, Poppy’s is using her well-honed social media skills to sell out his grand opening.

As sparks fly and tensions reach boiling point, will Poppy and Jack be a recipe for disaster? Or could they be a perfect pairing …? Perfect for fans of: ☀️Grumpy x sunshine
