Recipe for Trouble

A Grumpy/Sunshine Queer MM Romantic Comedy

By: Dylan Morrison

Narrated by: Jordy Evan Hope

Video editor Ben Blumenthal has perfected the art of cynicism... until he meets Pete Bailey, a devastatingly handsome chef whose sunny disposition should be annoying but somehow isn't. Ben's used to keeping people at arm's length; Pete's a walking catastrophe who somehow stays cheerful despite it all. But as Ben works side by side with Pete in the kitchen, he discovers there's much, much more to this beautiful mess of a man than meets the eye...

Witty, heartwarming, and deliciously swoony—a slow-burn grumpy/sunshine workplace romance with found family, office intrigue, and all the feels.

Swoon-worthy

I absolutely loved this book. The chemistry between the lead characters is so great, and the neurotic prose of the person telling the story is hilarious at times and heartwarming at others. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more titles from this author!

Cute, but not amazing

This had the potential to be great, but alas, it was just okay. It was very, very long for what it was. I could've done with 100 pages less and it wouldn't have affected the story at all. The setup of "guy is super clumsy" and "other guy gets frustrated with him" lasted way too long and repetitive. The author could've gone more in depth with the characters instead of harping on the fact that one guy has stage fright. By the end of the book, I didn't really feel like I knew either character really well, I didn't get much chemistry between the two, and ultimately, I didn't care much if they ended up together or not.
However, there were some cute moments. I didn't hate it, but I felt like it was just meh. I liked the author's previous book much better and will give the next one a try.
