Pucker Up:
She won’t be his flavor of the week. But just a taste won’t hurt…right?
But one night, in a red-wine-fueled funk, I pour out my feelings in a blog post, safe behind my anonymous mask. And realize too late my drunken fingers hit “Publish” instead of “Delete.”
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am screwed.
Lee
At first, I wanted to skewer the popular food critic who brutally lampooned my restaurant—apparently while simultaneously ogling my butt. But you know what? She’s right. The only hands-on time I’ve spent in the kitchen lately involves a hot blonde and, um…a zucchini.
Somewhere between my I’m-gonna-sue fury, and unexpectedly cuddling with Jenna after a night of soul-searing sex, I accidentally discover that blogger’s identity. And my whole life does a screeching 180.
I love Jenna Harrison. And I’m going to prove it to her, one anonymous, sexy text message at a time.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Delicious Stars
Take being secretly in love with your brother’s best friend, a whole lot of wine, and a drunken phone call in which you word vomit. Except that the drunken phone call is actually your blog and your rant is now on the Internet for everyone to see. It’s mortification times a million for lawyer by day/anonymous food blogger by night Jenna, who has been in love with chef Lee for as long as she can remember.
And Lee loves her too, but after a near-confession years ago that was kind of a disaster, he’s kept his feelings to himself. But after he and Jenna have a one-night stand, he discovers that she is the blogger who ripped him apart… except that what she was saying about him was because she actually cares for him… and a plan is set into motion to prove to Jenna that he cares about her, too.
The rest of this story is a comedy of errors. These two just can’t get it together. She’s so uptight and such a control freak, and talks herself out of every thought that maybe she’s not imagining that Lee has feelings for her. Lee, meanwhile, never felt like he’s good enough for Jenna so he never confessed how he felt. But during the time they spend together “to fix” the blogger situation (and have lots of sex), he begins to make small changes about himself, all of which were the changes Jenna wanted to see him make, to be the Lee she knew he could be, that she shared in her drunken blog post.
Pucker Up is a quick, enjoyable read. I really liked that the focus of the story was Lee and Jenna; there aren’t alot of other players involved, so you really get to know these characters. And knowing them so well really made me root for them to get together.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
