What
can I say about Rachel Higginson’s new book?? It was one enjoyable read! Vera
has sworn off men for good. She’s had such a previous bad experience, that she
decides that she is going to just focus on her career. She’s a chef. And, her
newest venture, owning her own food truck, is her priority right now. It doesn’t
go over very well, though, with the restaurant owner across the street,
Killian. He’s pretty much annoyed with the idea that a food truck with take-out
food is across the street from his stellar restaurant. He was pretty funny,
however, sending his employees to sample her food. He must be a little afraid
that she will take away some of his clientele. And, she gives him a run for his
money by making deals with him to sample her food, I had to laugh-out-loud a
few times. Vera was just one comical chick! I loved her! And, Killian, tried to
come off as this brash and bossy male, when underneath, he really was a
sweetheart. I just loved their banter back and forth! And, when it finally
comes to the romance, Killian wanted so desperately to take care of Vera and
show her that all men were not despicable and abusive. He was definitely a more
swoon-worthy character towards the end. Will these two, though, take a chance
on each other and trust in their love?
Loved
the whole food truck idea! It was new and refreshing! I love books about food,
and this one was right up my alley! And, a guy that rides a motorcycle is just
so badass! Just makes him more thrilling and exciting as a male! And, with Vera
on the back, the chemistry between the two was evident. Vera, given her past
heartache, had such a wonderful support system from her dad, her brother, and
best friend Molly. And, Killian also, even though his past was not without
destruction, had loyalty and protectiveness from foster mom, Jo, and foster
brother, Ezra. Even though this couple’s pasts might not have been pretty, they
were now on a path for good things to come their way. My only complaint is that
the author focused so much on Vera’s past; talking about it over and over. It
gets a little tedious to keep hearing. But, I did understand the need for some
of it. Ms. Higginson seemed very adamant about not letting a man treat you
beneath what a woman deserved, from which I totally agree. No woman is not
worthy of perfect treatment both emotionally and physically. And, if it’s not
given wholeheartedly, walk away.
