Some people thought Olive Stone was cold as ice. Her scathing restaurant reviews in the London Post were often feared and greatly respected. When her estranged father Chef Nicky passed away unexpectedly Olive inherits his small Italian family style restaurant and with it the responsibility of completing the last few chapters of his latest cookbook. Although she cherishes her childhood memories filled with dreamy summers in Italy and with her loving parents, recent years have been difficult. Olive has kept her distance physically and emotionally from the man she blamed for it all falling apart. Immediately Olive decides she should sell the restaurant but concedes to travel through Italy for part of the summer with his sous chef, Leo to finish the final recipes. Traipsing through Sicily, Tuscany and the coast Olive and Hot Chef cannot ignore the explosive chemistry they share and Italian food they cannot get enough of. With her father’s memory heavy on her heart and his ashes in her carry-on, Olive must come to terms with her parents imperfect past and the scary future that lay ahead. Filled with delicious ingredients and mouthwatering possibilities, you will find yourself racing into the kitchen this holiday season! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
