Book Description

Kyle Harris lands a job as the new chef at the Misbegotten Gaines Ranch just in time for the launch of their new Singles' Trail Ride. When his new boss, the alluring Jamie Gaines, mistakenly believes him to be married, he goes along with the ruse to keep his job. But things start to heat up between them and Kyle has to choose between losing his job and letting Jamie get away.

Excerpt~

When a guy says he’s gonna work on a dude ranch, he kinda expects it to be run by…well, dudes. Instead, the only two people Kyle Harris could see when he pulled up to the Misbegotten Gaines Dude Ranch were women. And they were hot with a capital H-O-T.

Hot enough that it got a little toastier in his car, and in his formerly roomy boxers under his jeans. Kyle had big plans for spending long days at his new job out on the dusty trail with men he could consider his brothers. Guys always looked tight in those John Wayne movies his mom used to watch. He had a feeling the wild would do that to a guy.

But being in the Wyoming wilderness with two gorgeous women would not lead to any camaraderie among the men. Nor would it lead to silent nights around the campfire eating beans from a can and drinking coffee from a tin cup while the coyotes yowled against the midnight sky.

Okay, so maybe he paid a little more attention during those movies than he’d like to admit. But still. The kind of backsides he could see promised a lot of things, and none of them peaceful. Maybe he wouldn’t have to extend his sex hiatus after all.

AUTHOR BIO:

Camryn Rhys grew up on the border of Canada and the US, and still hasn’t decided which country to call home. She splits her time between the Alberta and Montana Rocky Mountains, with friends and family in both beautiful locations. After running her own restaurant for several years and acquiring advanced degrees in writing, foodie romance seemed the only logical option. When she’s not watching the Food Network, she’s reading a romance novel, or if absolutely necessary, working as a consultant. Someone has to put really excellent food on the table.

4.0 out of 5 stars Foodie Romance? April 12, 2012
This book is another book i've read from Camryn Rhys and I greatly enjoyed it. My first exposure to foodie romance, it's very well written. Coming from someone who works in a kitchen, i was easily able to identify with this story. Camryn seems to have a great knack for making characters seem lively and as well as telling a smoothly flowing organic story. This is definitely worth the buy. I recommend it coming from an eclectic reader like me. Enjoy! Well done Camryn!

No one needs to know Kyle is actually divorced right? He needs this new chef job at the Misbegotten Ranch and if it hinges on him being married so he doesn't want to flirt with the staff or the paying customers, so be it. Upon first seeing the ranch owners sister, Jamie, he knows he's in a lot of trouble. Her flawless ebony skin begs for the his touch and those jeans she wears molds to every curve on her body. Jamie isn't looking for love. Scheming to get her friend's job as ranch chef back so vows to do ANYTHING it takes. If that includes seducing Kyle, it might not be such a hardship.

Welcome to erotic foodie romance everyone! Didn't know it was a sub-genre? Well, now you do and Camryn Rhys does it oh so well! Misbegotten Gaines is a family ranch that tailors to singles excursions on the trails. Striving to find that special someone for each of their guests. The one rule of the ranch? The employees are off limits. To guests and to each other. Which makes things even more difficult for the new ranch chef, Kyle when he sees ranch co-owner Jamie. When he was interviewed for the position after the last chef hooked up with one of Jamie's brothers, he was still married. Being taken made him more attractive for the job since he'd be less inclined to stray from the rule of the ranch. Only problem is that since the interview he's been divorced and is now on his own.
The chemistry between Jamie and Kyle is palatable right from the beginning. Each trying to control themselves while looking their fill when the other has their back turned. I liked Jamie's loyalty to her friend even though said friend was a mooch and totally using her. However misjudging she was with her friends character, it was so nice to see that level of loyalty. Though I must say, when her friend is telling Jamie to sleep with Kyle so he'll get fired by Jamie's strict brother I wondered what exactly the friend would have to do to get Jamie to see her duplicity. Jamie seems like a smart girl and yet she doesn't bat an eye when her friend is basically whoring her out. Though the inner workings of her mind tell her how wrong that would be and as she starts to having feelings for Kyle she comes to the conclusion on her own that she just can't hurt him that way.
I appreciated Kyle's attempt at restraint in regards to Jamie and thought the smoldering between them was extremely well wrote. Especially since he was supposed to be a married man. I loved the food aspect. I mean come on...good sex AND food? My version of heaven right there. Kyle is part chef and part cowboy and I found him scrumptious! I cringed right along with him when his devious ex shows up though I expected much more on her part then what we got. He talks her up to be pretty nasty and yet she ends up being semi protective of him in regards to Jamie's mis-handling of their relationship. You know, when she wasn't flaunting her...errr assets with every male within breathing distance.
The end felt abrupt and not finished. Everything wrapped up way to quickly. There will be two more in this series, most likely dealing with Jamie's two brothers, so I wonder if we will get a better HEA for Jamie and Kyle within the other novellas. I hope so.
Misbegotten Gaines is a solid erotic romance full of yumminess both on the food and the man front. Emotionally charged and a highly entertaining read!

I give Misbegotten Gaines by Camryn Rhys 3.75 stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Outback is Fun!!! May 7, 2012
Misbegotten Gaines is the perfect way to spend a few hours away from reality. Bringing together two very strong individuals, Kyle and Jamie, the story opens with instant heat. Combine a protective family, white lies and a lot of chemistry and you have the start of a great book. A very easy book to read that has the hotness factor and keeps you intrigued to read more. Im not usually the one for stories about food and the outback trail but i thoroughly enjoyed it. This is the first story i have read by Camryn Rhys and look forward to reading more.

Struggling to find his place in the world after his divorce, Kyle is notified that he was successful with his job application a few months earlier as chef at the Misbegotten Gaines Ranch. Not wanting to lie, but at the same time not seeing a reason to disclose he is now divorced Kyle starts his job as they are setting up for a singles trail ride.

The moment he gets out of his car and greets Jamie, the younger sister of his newly appointed boss there is chemistry. They both fight how their hearts feel. Kyle, because everyone thinks he is married and he doesn't want them to know his situation has changed. Jamie, because even though she is a very level headed, smart and beautiful girl she has been charmed by the ex cook and thinks that if she can get her job back she will have her best friend back too. Jamie thinks she has come up with the perfect way to fire the new sexy hot chef and gain her best friend back, but as we all know some plans are meant to back fire.

As the visitors step off the bus yet another surprise hits Kyle, his ex wife is joining them as a customer. Kyle knows her scheming and uncaring heart hasn't changed and tries to warn her against clutching at Jamie's brother and to find someone not looking for commitment. His ex wife has her own ideas though and unless Kyle wants everyone to know he isn't married anymore he need not worry abut her intentions
