When the venture seems doomed before it has even begun by a rival chef who is as gorgeous as Jean Christophe Novelli and as temperamental as Marco Pierre White, Odette determines on revenge.

I love Fiona Walker and her quirky characters however I found myself very frustrated with Odette. She was just totally unbelievable. I wanted to shout at her she was so feeble. Couple of times I almost put the book down as it was driving me mad but I hung in there.
It ended up a pretty good book but nothing compared to her others. Do read it you will enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-so, January 13, 2003

This review is from: Between Males (Paperback)

I bought this book after reading Snap Happy, which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. There were too many characters and got confusing in certain places. You end up not really feeling sorry for Odette, and not really understanding why she fell in love with a Class A jerk in the first place, and why he has such a hold on her. Odette's character seems a little shallow, whereas Juno and Jay, in Snap Happy, were well fleshed out. Still, the book improves in later parts.
