From New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton, the first in a brand-new romance series telling the humorously sexy tale of Roxie, a private chef who gets a taste of love—but is it to stay, or to go?
After losing almost all of her clients in one fell swoop following an accident involving whipped cream, private chef to Hollywood’s elite Roxie Callahan gets a call from her flighty mother, saying she’s needed home in upstate New York to run the family diner. Once she's back in the Hudson Valley, local organic farmer Leo delivers Roxie a lovely bunch of walnuts, and soon sparks—and clothing—begin to fly. Leo believes that everything worth doing is worth doing slowly…and how! But will Roxie stay upstate, or will the lure of West Coast redemption tempt her back to Tinseltown?

A sweet all American romance with a touch a sexy with a side of funny. It not only leave you craving for more romance but for food as well. I think I actually put my kindle down a few times to check the fridge. Roxie sounded like a wonderful cook. You will fall in love with all the characters in this book, and maybe buy a cook book.
Roxie is a small town girl who knew she was destined for bigger things than the small time family diner. She now lives in Los Angeles and is the chef to the stars.
Until she is not. Who knew one not so happy client can put her on the black list to the stars. To make things worse she gets a call from her mother informing her that she needs help in the family diner because she is going to be on a reality show. YOLO right?
Leo oh Leo the sweet hot farmer who has the nuts everyone wants. Especially Roxie. Walnuts that is. He is a nut farmer and he sells his Walnuts to local restaurants.
The relationship between these two was a sweet build and made Roxie realize that being back in her hometown is just what the chef needed to make her remember that home is where her heart is.
