This was so good!!

Finn, Deans brother, is a chef at an upscale restaurant. He’s good at what he does! When he hears Hailey deconstruct a dish just by tasting it... he hires her to help him with his other pursuits.

Hailey was hired to be the hostess at his restaurant, but she lied to get the job. She meets Finn, not knowing he’s the chef... and tells him she lied to get a job... oops.

Their story is funny and sweet.. but complicated in ways you have to hear to understand! It’s worth your time!! Buy it and listen!

Alan Taylor is a new voice for me. His voice is smooth and pleasant.. I’d listen to him again!

Good book, great for foodies!

As a foodie, I loved the descriptions of the food- it made me hungry and did a fantastic job building the background of the story. Finn is a chef of a very popular, fine dining restaurant. He hires Hailee even thought she has no experience because, well, it’s insta-lust/love. They get closer because of their affinity for food and flavors. There’s cute banter and a lot of push and pull- mostly because Hailee was hurt before and scared of getting hurt more. How will Finn be able to get past her walls to achieve their HEA? As with the first story (where Finn's brother was featured), the push and pull got a little repetitive and a bit irritating. However, generally, this was a sweet book and I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. While this is book 2 in the series, you can read this as a standalone.

Alan Taylor has a nice smooth voice with good differentiation between characters. he did a good job playing Hailee too. However, since it is a dual pov it would have been better to have a male and female narrator.

Really Enjoyable

I liked this book. The h is a little sassy and fun, and the H is a sexy chef, need i say more. The book for me was enjoyable. There were moments when it was a little hard to connect, but the overall flow was good. I need a sexy chef in my life!!! The narration was good. #audiobookobsession

Sweet, sassy, and entertaining!

Narrator did a good job. He did a good job for both main characters; a little slow at times, but overall, a good clear listening experience.

Sweet connection between Finn and Hailee in this one. This book takes place at the same time as the first book, but can be read as a stand-alone. Hailee has had poor taste in men and is tired of her hometown, so she fibs some to get a hostess job at a fancy restaurant to make some money to get out of town. Finn is the chef at the restaurant. The two have a bit of a meet cute, but try to deny their feelings because he’s her boss. Hailee knows very little about her job and food, so Finn helps her out and they grow closer. Unfortunately, Hailee is a scaredy cat about relationships, so she acts like a brat a lot. That got annoying at times; Finn was always putting himself out there and she would just be rude. She creates the problems for herself; I get she had some heartbreak in the past, but it’s so obvious Finn is legit. I liked her okay, but not a huge fan. Finn is awesome and so respectful, so I was all on board for him to find his happiness. They do have some good chemistry and passion, so I was rooting for them. Overall, an entertaining story. I also loved getting a bit more story for Emma and Dean from the first book. I’m not a huge fan of the premise for the next book or the characters, but I’d still like to check it out. So far, this series has been great!

Cute Story!

This is the second book in The Men of Evansdale County Series. This story can be listened as a standalone.
This was a cute story with a great HEA. I love the epilogues! I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Great

Alyne Hart is a new author to me. I loved this book! The narrator did a great job. There was a little of everything in this book. I felt like I was actually in the scenes. Definite 5 star from me!

I want a sexy chef!

Seriously! Where can I get one? I need to find one just like Finn King!

Ok, back to the book. I went into this book with a really weird question... What in the world is a foodie novel? I had no idea going in but after reading this, I feel the need to find more in this category. Hot men making hot food? Sign me up!!! This is a great addition to the series. I really enjoyed how this story overlapped with the first book. I cannot wait for the rest to come to audio!

The narration was amazing!

So cute

Cute little love story! Great follow up to first book! Love the foodie in her and the encouragement she provides him to follow his heart! His narration voice at first felt a little old for this couple, but it seem to relax the more you got into the book! Great narration overall!

can't help but love a sexy chef

Ahhhh Fiiiin!!! Swoon! After reading Dean's story, where Finn 'dropped in', I was sooo looking forward to Finn's story...and I was not disappointed. Lots of steam, but so glad that Finn wasn't a sexy, jerk, manwh*re!
On her first day as a hostess at a fine dining restaurant, Hailee's first task is to go the market with a list of items that she's never heard of before. Luckily, she runs into a hottie who helps her gather everything. She explains that it's her first day, she has no experience working at a restaurant...and that she heard that the chef is a hard@$$. I'm sure you can imagine that probably was not a good idea...to share with a total stranger. To Hailee's surprise, when she arrives back at the restaurant, the chef is non other than the hottie who helped her in the market. Instead of firing her for lying on her application, the chef, Finn King, insists that she work for a few weeks in the kitchen tasting every dish on the menu, helping prep, clean, etc. before she can assume her hostess position. The chemistry between the pair is off the charts haawwwt but will they do anything about it? Since Finn is her boss and all. Meanwhile, Finn, who already has a YouTube series, is working with a TV network to gain his own TV show. What surprises Finn and Hailee the most, is Hailee's natural talent to discern all of the flavors in a dish and give an intelligent critique. Finn offers Hailee a side job of helping him to try out dishes for his TV pilot...enough money that would help Hailee fulfill her dream of leaving her small hometown. This arrangement gives them the opportunity to get to know each other and they begin to secretly date. Can this relationship withstand their individual insecurities? I love that we get a cameo of Dean and Grandma Rosie...also love Hailee's grandma. Overall a beautiful story...love those King brothers...mwah!
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
