One of Amazon's Best Romances of December A December LibraryReads Pick Sometimes two cooks in the kitchen are better than one in this swoony romantic comedy from the author of I’m So (Not) Over You. Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He just got dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and to top it all off he's right back home in Harper's Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is to work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can’t delegate to save his life. Logan O’Hare doesn’t understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him—he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn’t have many options besides Xavier. Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they’ll have to decide if they can make their relationship work or if life has seasoned them too differently.

It's been months since aspiring journalist Kian Andrews has heard from his ex-boyfriend, Hudson Rivers, but an urgent text has them meeting at a café. Maybe Hudson wants to profusely apologize for the breakup. Or confess his undying love. . . But no, Hudson has a favor to ask--he wants Kian to pretend to be his boyfriend while his parents are in town, and Kian reluctantly agrees. The dinner doesn't go exactly as planned, and suddenly Kian is Hudson's plus one to Georgia's wedding of the season. Hudson comes from a wealthy family where reputation is everything, and he really can't afford another mistake. If Kian goes, he'll help Hudson preserve appearances and get the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in media. This could be the big career break Kian needs. But their fake relationship is starting to feel like it might be more than a means to an end, and it's time for both men to fact-check their feelings.
Vorgetäuschte Beziehungen bedeuten nicht gleich vorgetäuschte Gefühle ... Als Kian von seinem Ex-Freund Hudson um ein Treffen gebeten wird, hofft er heimlich auf eine Liebeserklärung.

Kian stimmt zögernd zu, doch als er auch noch zur Hochzeit von Hudsons Cousine eingeladen wird, möchte er wirklich ablehnen! In letzter Minute gelingt es Hudson, Kian davon zu überzeugen, ihn zu begleiten. Keiner kann leugnen, dass das Knistern zwischen ihnen noch immer da ist. Aber gibt es eine zweite Chance für ihre Liebe? Für alle Leser:innen von Alexis Hall, Casey McQuiston, Andreas Suchanek und Alicia Zett.
