Starred review from December 11, 2017
Readers seeking sweet and funny romance will be delighted with this food-centered series opener from Laureano (London Tides). Rachel Bishop finds purpose in creating a fine dining experience as the head chef and part owner of an upscale Denver restaurant. But her dream job is suddenly ripped away by the unwitting hands of writer Alex Kanin: his New Yorker article about internet trolling that mentions a spurious, negative review of her restaurant goes viral—and business at her restaurant dries up. Alex feels guilty about the fallout, so to combat the negative publicity he joins forces with Rachel to restart her career, creating a unique supper club for Denver’s foodies. A growing connection between Rachel and Alex adds unexpected spice to their partnership, leaving Rachel to discover whether the demise of one dream can lead to another coming true. Through Alex’s Russian Orthodox roots Laureano explores, with a light touch, how different faith traditions can lead people towards the same convictions. Bright, jovial, and peppered with romance and delectable cuisine, this is
a sweet and lively love story.

Narrator Teri Schnaubelt serves up an elegant romance simmering with cooking references. Responding to an article written by freelancer Alex Kanin, high-end Denver chef Rachel Bishop commits a social media faux pas and loses her job. Wanting to atone, Alex teams up with Rachel to offer a Saturday Night Supper Club to entice a new investor for Rachel. Schnaubelt's smooth pacing conveys cooking terminology and sensory experiences to listeners. Her straightforward presentation matches Rachel and Alex's respectful relationship. Rachel's voice has an underlying longing for approval and belonging, while Alex's deeper, slightly gruff tone sounds entirely natural. Rachel's friend, Melody, and Alex's sister, Dina, are memorable, too. Schnaubelt opens up Laureano's story as it moves from cooking to personal growth to love. C.A. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
