Chef's Kiss by TJ Alexander

5.0

“You look like you,” she finally managed to say. Ray’s smile curved. “That a good thing?” Simone nodded. “The best thing.” 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CHEF’S KISS is like a behind the scenes look into your favorite cooking show. This book is a slow burn when it comes to the romance, but there’s so much friendship building and trust development throughout the plot I truly didn’t feel like I was missing anything. I did my usual bit of squealing, kicking my feet, blushing, and even jumping for joy over Ray and Simone. I’m elated that they get both get everything they’ve ever dared and feared to dream. 

Simone is an anxious Type A pastry chef whose life is turned upside down when she’s tasked with becoming a video content creator alongside Ray, a bubbly laid-back kitchen manager. When Ray comes out as nonbinary at work, Simone has to decide what her future looks like—the job of her dreams or the person of her dreams?
