Kiss the Cook by Jacquie D'Alessandro

Bubbly, off-beat beauty Melanie Gibson has her hands full. Not only is she caring for her beloved grandmother, she's also working desperately to secure a bank loan for her fledgling gourmet catering service. The last thing she has time for is romance—not even with Christopher Bishop, the sexy financial whiz who's been evaluating her business.

After eight years of toiling to put his younger siblings through school, Chris is ready to lead the life of a carefree bachelor. Then he meets Melanie, and finds himself thinking about forever. Melanie insists she's too smart to fall for a man with the devilish good looks of a practiced playboy, but Chris is determined to show her that their passion is too powerful to deny—and that love is the sweetest thing of all.

This is a really light, fast, fluffy read. It's a cute story, but Melanie bugged me.

You see, she's one of those girls who got hurt in the past and now thinks she doesn't need to fall in love. So after meeting Chris she keeps telling herself it's just an affair. Yeah right. She finds herself falling in love, but tries her hardest to talk herself out of it. When Chris makes one tiny mistake, she totally blows it out of porportion. Which really irked me. Like first chance she got, she dumped him.

Chris is an accountant and he's hot. He's sweet, funny and rides a motorcycle. That's one hot account. Melanie has a brand new catering business. She's sweet, an awesome cook and she has the coolest name: Melanie Gibson. You know, Mel Gibson.

Anyways they meet and Chris knows there is something between them. Melanie is in denial. They meet when she double parks in front of his car while making a delivery. Her cars dies, Chris offers to help her out.

I love when Chris says, they'll make beautiful love together. Not sex, love. Sigh..

Grade: B only cause Melanie got on my nerves.
