Romantic Suspense
Date Published: July 8, 2016
You can’t always get what you want.
Shy and sweet Lia Gardella has only wished to make her father proud. Dropping plates, spilling drinks, and missing orders, she’s never fit in at the family business. And after nearly incinerating the whole building, she ran from the stressful environment.
Want not.
As head chef of one of the city’s best eateries, Finn Newland seems to have it all. He enjoyed a youthful career in the MMA. Women worship him. After years of hard work, he finally has an opportunity to take over the restaurant he’s always considered his own.
Be careful what you wish for.
When Lia’s father summons her to supervise Gardella’s, instead of handing the reins to Finn, no one is happy. They don’t know how to collaborate on running the restaurant. Nor are they confident they can continue to deny their attraction to one another. But before they can attempt a partnership of any kind, they’ll need to find the culprit behind a trend of spiteful sabotage aimed at Gardella’s.
Review
As far as the mystery/adventure went I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged I became in it.
Characterization was well done and the flow of the novel as a whole felt smooth. These characters are complex and each have a variety of things going on.
Amabel Daniels's writing style is very direct. There is no skirting around things.
Overall a solid Adventure/Mystery.
