Restaurant wars lead to a serendipitous second chance at love in Moore’s charming debut, inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Susan Napier’s restaurateur family faces bankruptcy as bad management forces the closure of all but one of their locations. To save their legacy, Susan convinces her family to relocate from London to Edinburgh to revitalize their flagship restaurant. Susan is unprepared for the competition and hostility she faces from her former lover, Chris Baker—now a renowned chef and television personality—who’s returned home to Edinburgh from New York City to open his own restaurant. Staffing issues and family tension add to Susan’s stress, along with her growing guilt over how abruptly she ended things with Chris a decade earlier; all of which comes to a head when they’re tricked into competing against one another in a cooking showdown during the city’s food festival. This chaste love story, peppered with just the right amount of family drama, foodie descriptions, and rom-com hijinks, is a treat. Agent: Steven Chudney, Chudney Agency.

Narrator Mary Jane Wells's mesmerizing performance is nothing short of amazing in this modern-day audiobook inspired by Jane Austen's PERSUASION. Susan Napier's family has fallen on hard times, and she is determined to save their flagship restaurant and their legacy. But when an old flame, chef Chris Baker, reemerges from her past, there's more than just attraction and tension still simmering below the surface. With remarkable ease, Wells transitions between an impressive array of English and Scottish characters and accents--all while adeptly capturing every emotional nuance. Romance is tertiary to the family and restaurant drama, and despite the slow pace of the story, Wells's excellent narration energizes the well-developed characters. Overall, this is a delightful listen. E.P. � AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
