Having had her dreams ripped away from her before, she’ll do everything in her power to keep her restaurant. Her fate hangs on the whims of the frustratingly handsome Adam Kelly.
Adam has spent years trying to convince world famous chef Amadeus Schlittler to open a restaurant in Chicago, but he wants the prime location held by Lia.

My Review
The Sweetest Seduction by Crista McHugh is a fun contemporary romance. Right from the beginning, I liked Lia. She is a strong, independent chef who has worked hard to have a successful restaurant. Working has had the unfortunate side effect of leaving no time for a personal life.
From the moment Lia and Adam meet, I could practically feel the sparks through my Kindle. 😉 There is intense passion right away. The story hangs onto the heat and doesn’t let you go. Great plot and the characters were enjoyable. I really liked the story.
