Special Release Teaser:

Josh POV

“Okay,” I said, sliding onto the plastic bench as Aaron played with the console to input our names. “I know what we should bet.”

Aaron smirked. “What?”

“Well, we’re here for three games, right? So I feel like there has to be a prize for each game and a grand prize. And maybe mini prizes… or forfeits.”

“That sounds fair,” Aaron said, looking through the row of balls and testing them. “If I win a game, you have to do whatever I want for a night. And if I win overall,”—he thought for a second, his grin widening—“you have to admit, in public, that I’m the best chef you’ve ever worked with.”

I laughed. “Seriously? Okay, well if I win one game, you have to fuck me however I want. And if I win two or more games, then you have to let me fuck you.” Aaron’s eyes went wide, but he didn’t automatically object. That was interesting. He’d never bottomed for me before, and now I wanted a go at his ass more than anything. But that wasn’t all I wanted. “And if I win overall, then you have to admit, in public, in front of people—in fact, you have to do it in the middle of the next Sunday lunch service we’re both on—that I’m the best chef you’ve ever worked with and that you’d be lost without me.”

Aaron stared, then he burst out laughing. The sound was rich and loud, and it filled my heart with such joy I thought I might burst. “Oh, it’s fucking on,” he said, picking up a bright yellow ball. I saw fiery determination burning in his eyes. “And one more thing. Every time you get a gutter ball, you have to give me a blow job. Because clearly you suck, so you might as well put that skill to better use.”

I snorted. “Fine. But you have to do the same for me. Now stop putting off your inevitable loss and bowl.”

My review:

★★★★☆(4,5)

I was looking forward to this book so much, after finishing Strawberry Kisses I was shipping Josh and Aaron and wanted an enemies to lovers with kitchen sex so bad! So I'm happy that Charlie gave us this book, it was everything and more.

Loved both Josh and Aaron and loved how well they worked together (both in the kitchen and in the sheets). Their story is told in two different time lines, this way we got to see when they first met and how they relationship went, and in real time when they working together.

I loved both times, their younger selves were cute too, selfless and fearless. And I was glad that Josh was the clever one and knew what to do to survive.

Loved the kitchen scenes, oh god how I loved them! I miss so much working in a kitchen and this book gave me so many things back. Bit of nostalgia and longing. Charlie wrote the kitchen work space so well, I felt I was there with them. 

Really enjoyed reading this book, it was both sweet and sour sometimes. Romantic and erotic, just perfect.
