Editorial Review:
When three love-starved lesbians decide to make up for lost time, the recipe is romance. And with Karin Kallmaker cooking, you know the result will be hot, spicy and mouth-wateringly delicious! Master Chef Jamie Onassis has used every penny she has to buy a beautiful country inn she plans to turn into a five-star restaurant. Unfortunately, the inn turns out to be a "handyman's special" and, without the skills or capital to make the necessary repairs, Jamie risks losing everything.
Home and garden expert Valkyrie Valentine is a rising star among the do-it-yourself set. A seemingly perfect homemaker, Valkyrie seems destined to become the next Martha Stewart -- as long as no one discovers her embarrassing little secret: she can't cook.
Media mogul Sheila Thintowski is a woman on a mission. ever since meeting the dazzling, dynamic Valkyrie Valentine, she's been determined to interview her -- up-close and extremely personally. Sheila suspects that Valkyrie's hands-on skills extend well beyond home improvement -- and she's looking for some private lessons.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Recipe for Fun
A light summer read laced with romance and screwball humor. The recipes alone make this book a keeper. I tried the bread pudding and it was a big hit at the Outskirts potluck. The story revolves around Jamie, a young, unappreciated chef who is sure she can make it on her own if just given a chance. When she inherits her Aunt Emily's family style diner, she hopes to turn it into a five-star restaurant. She is discouraged when the inn turns out to be a "handyman's special" and she realizes her inheritance ... Read More
Rating:  - A pure delight - sexy, witty and warm hearted
This is a delightfully original romance that I find something new to enjoy each time I read it. As with all this author's novels you always get more than a romance. In this novel Jamie has a complex family history that is quite moving.
Many laugh out loud moments make this reading wonderfully sweet and very much a page turner. I was totally invested at the end of the first chapters with Jamie and Val - I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
My admittedly high expectations ... Read More
Rating: - Fun Light Reading
Making up for lost time was a fun, light summer read. There were parts that would make you laugh outloud. I would recommend this read for anyone who wants a light, fun, lesbian romance. I actually tried the bread pudding recipe that is listed before one of the chapters and it worked and was so delicious that I think I have found my new holiday dessert to bring to dinner! Enjoy!
Rating: - Dip Me in Chocolate and Throw Me to the Lesbians...
Jamie is a young-but-marvelous chef who is tired of killing herself to make her ungrateful boss successful. After receiving an inheritance from her Aunt Emily, she decides to buy Emily's old restaurant and give it a go on her own. Little does she realize her new dream comes complete with inspectors, fines, back taxes, and other various problems.
Almost by accident, Jamie meets Val - a woman with problems of her own. It seems Val has convinced the readers and owners of a magazine she writes for ... Read More
Rating: - Don't read it while on a diet!
If ever a book was meant to be read on a beach, this one is it. It's really witty, romantic, and diverting. Just what a vacation needs. Warning to all readers on a diet, though -- when Jamie starts talking about all the chocolate she needs to mask her feelings for Val, you'll find yourself getting hungry! I wanted a huge slice of chocolate blackout cake! And if that wasn't enough there's a recipe for chocolate body paint. I dont' think I can say here what it is I wanted after the chapter where that body paint ... Read More
