    About this audiobook

    At twenty-seven years old, Emma Banks has big plans for her life. After graduating from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, she's ready to take her place as head chef at one of her family's resort restaurants. Her first assignment is to serve Pierce Davenport, an infuriatingly arrogant writer with a palate that's about as adventurous as a plain boiled potato.

    Pierce Davenport is living every author's dream-his critically-acclaimed Clash of Crowns books have been turned into one of the world's most-watched television series. The only problem is, he has no idea how to end the epic fantasy tale. After two long years, his fans are turning on him, his publisher is panicking, and the network executives have announced they're hiring a team of scriptwriters to finish (a.k.a. ruin) his legacy for him.

    In dire need of solitude, he escapes to the Island of Eden for two distraction-free months so he can pull off the impossible-write an entire novel from start to finish. All he wants is peace and quiet, but when disaster strikes, he's forced to rely on irritating-but-beautiful Emma to deliver more than just three meals a day.

    Contains mature themes.

      I was reeeeeally iffy on this one at first. It just didn't capture me from the start, and I didn't find myself engaged by either the H or the h....although, to be fair to the author, that might have been partly due to the fact that I was listening to the audiobook, and I couldn't IMAGINE the male narrators voice turning into proper "romantic hero" fodder, instead of uppity English dickhead.

      But I stuck with it, and I was glad I did. It got better. And yes, HE got better. Don't know that I would read it again, but I was glad I read it once.

      Hang in there until after he gets bitten by the iguana....if you still aren't feeling it soon after that, yeah, you might want to DNF....but it does get better from then on.
