“With great tension, simmering heat, and clever banter, FOR BUTTER OR WORSE is a mouthwateringly delicious enemies-to-lovers romance.”—Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Heart Principle

"[A] sparkling romance...witty and lighthearted, with plenty of tender moments to keep readers invested, this work gets the enemies-to-lovers trope right."—Publishers Weekly

They go together like water and oil…

All chef Nina Lyon wants is to make a name for herself in the culinary world and inspire young women everywhere to do the same. For too long, she’s been held back and underestimated by the male-dominated sphere of professional kitchens, and she's had enough. Now, as co-host of the competitive reality TV series The Next Cooking Champ!, she finally has a real shot at being top tier in the foodie scene.
Too bad her co-host happens to be Hollywood’s smarmiest jerk.

Restaurateur Leo O’Donnell never means to get under Nina’s skin. It just seems to happen, especially when the cameras are rolling. It's part of the anxiety and stress he has come to know all too well in this line of work. So nothing prepares him for the fallout after he takes one joke a smidge too far and Nina up and quits—on live TV.

To make matters worse, the two are caught in what looks like a compromising situation by the paparazzi…and fans of the show go absolutely nuts. Turns out, a “secret romance” between Nina and Leo may just be what their careers need most.

Now all they have to do is play along, without killing each other...and without catching feelings. Easy as artisanal shepherd's pie. Right?

predictable and lazy writing

characters were not lovable. plot was predictable. writing was lazy. sending a text to the wrong person was used as plot, I just find that a weak plot driver. overall not the worst, but not memorable.

loved this

Read this for book club and thought it was a charming story. Fun and sexy with great narration.

Really enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed the writing, the story was fun and kept me interested! The narration sounded a little to seductive for my liking with the main character but still good! I’ll definitely be reading more from this author!

Great listen

Mela is so deeply compelling as a narrator, and brings this fun enemies to lovers romance to life!

Story good, narrator not

This was a fun, predictable romance with good characters. The narrator's breathiness and slow speech drove me crazy but I wanted to listen to the story. I could stand her at 1.2 X speed.

Cute will they won’t they story

I really enjoyed this book. It was very interesting and had very very spicy scenes that are very much appreciated and overall the story was cute.

Narration was good. Story was beyond awful.

The author is more concerned about inclusivity and political correctness, rather than character development. I will not be reading the second book.
