Publisher's summary

Valentina Rosas has always known what she wants. Mostly. Sort of. At least, she does now. And what she wants is the coveted staging role at Gia, San Francisco. With four years at the top of her class in culinary school and enough tenacity to fuel the entire Mission, no one doubts she is about to land the job of her dreams—including the three-person cheer squad made up of her best friend and adorably overbearing parents.

Renowned chef Jenn Coleman is not a people person. Her rise to the top of the culinary industry stems from a cultivated blend of top-tier schooling—from her nonna—and bouts of carefully managed misanthropy. Owning and operating two Michelin starred restaurants doesn’t leave time for much else anyway. Just ask her ex.

When the new stage at her restaurant trips into her with all the grace of a baby giraffe, it’s a sure recipe for disaster. But for all of Jenn’s reserve, Valentina has twice the allure, and the chemistry between them is just… chef’s kiss.

If only Jenn wasn’t Valentina’s boss with nearly ten years between them.

Excellent.

I loved Chef’s Kiss. A great story with great characters. I also loved the behind the scenes glimpse into the kitchen of a successful restaurant. I can’t wait to continue the series. Hopefully they will be available on audio.

Set in SF

Being a Bay Area native, I enjoyed reading a story set in San Francisco. Val and Jenn’s story is sweet. The author unpacks the characters in a way that lets the reader get to know and understand them well. Witnessing them open to love in spite of past hurts is heartwarming.

Love This Series ❤️🥰

I accidentally read this series in reverse, and I don't regret it! I can't imagine it would've changed how amazing all the stories were. Maybe it's the San Francisco setting, the fancy atmosphere of Gia, or the diversity of all the characters, but this series was just beautiful!

I learned about Jenn and Val in the other books, but finally reading their story is truly 👩‍🍳🤌. I love them! ❤️

Sweet love story!

This was a sweet and well written love story. The chemistry between Jenn and Valentina was off the charts! The supporting characters were adorable! Even Rachel. The narration was also equally well done!

Engaging story

Read this e-book and lived the story so much I wanted to hear it “come to life.” The performance was solid. Worth it!
