The Opposite of You

Opposites Attract Series, Book 1

By: Rachel Higginson

Narrated by: Elizabeth Hart

I've sworn off men.

All men.

Famous last words, right? You're expecting some epic tale of reluctant love and my dramatic change of heart? Well, you're not going to get it.

I'm stubborn. And headstrong. And I've just survived the worst three years of my life. After escaping an abusive boyfriend to live in hostels and cheap hotels while I worked my way across Europe, I've come to two conclusions. The first? Now that I'm back home, I'm going to squander my expensive culinary degree on a food truck that caters to the late night drunk crowd. The second? I'm going to prove to the bastard across the plaza that my street food is better than his fussy five course monstrosities.

Killian Quinn might be Food and Wine's Chef to Watch Out For. He might have a Michelin Star. He might have every food critic in the city wrapped around his too-large fingers. But he's also pretentious and unbearably arrogant and the very opposite of me.

So he can keep his unsolicited advice and his late night visits and his cocky smiles. I want none of it. Or him.

I want the opposite.

Contains mature themes.

A deliciously sexy romance!

Rachel Higginson is my spirit animal. Her work is just incredible. And this novel is no less a masterpiece than her other works.

I loved Vera's and Killian's story. All she wants to do is make a name for herself in the culinary world. All Killian wants is to run his kitchen the way he wants and without and distractions - like Vera and her food truck.

"You keep saying words like crazy and insane and risky, but Vera, the best things in life are all of those things. You can't reap big rewards if you don't take big risks."

The chemistry between these two was intense. But it wasn't just the heat between these two that made me drool, the food showcased throughout this story made me want to be near Foodie the food truck!!

super cute and sweet

I would absolutely suggest this if you like a non angsty HEA, This was a super cute story. its very sweet and funny but know If your looking for hot and steamy this wont be for you. The interaction between the characters is fun and flirty and a cute slow burn with lots of laughter. The Narrator was ok. I wasn't fond of her male voices as they all sounded the same and not manly at all.

Wonderful

Great stories. Always engaging. Rachel is a wonderful story teller. Her words help you feel/understand the characters. I love all of her books!

I didnt think I'd enjoy this as much as I did.

I didnt think I'd enjoy this as much as I did. this book really surprised me with how good it was. definitely a slow burn romance and i feel like i wanted more but then there are follow up novels with supporting characters so that makes me happy because im sure these two will be making an appearance.

3.5 stars

This book started out being exactly what I needed, something funny and light. I loved the characters, the food, the banter. But about half way though, the couple got together and an ex showed up which led to more sweet than fun, and more serious instead of light. It was still good, the writing and narration were great. It just became a different feel than what I thought I was getting.
