Yes, yes, yes!!!!
This book is VERY hot!!!! From Storm's first auto-erotic scene which explores so many fantasies simultaneously, this book is a roller coaster ride of the erotic. Storm is so sexy. He helps Abby explore sight, touch, smell, and taste with absolute sensual abandon.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars was a feeling that the characters here weren't as well developed as those in MENAGE. There was a bit more gratuitous sex that didn't seem to have any relevance to the plot, or provide any real intimacy with the characters. I would have liked to have seen a little deeper into both Storm and Abby to believe that they would really be happy together.
Storm is one hot hero...
with a touch of bad boy and erotic sensuality that makes one hot package. After another lack luster sexual conquest, Storm ( a very talented chef) decides to leave california and head east after reading an ad for a chef wanted at the Coates Inn. Abby Coates (one of the owners of the Inn) hires Storm and thus begins a sexual adventure of awakening and long pent up desires for both Storm and Abby. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others, I have to say that Abby put me off a bit with her constant need to sample sex with different partners after tasting Heaven with the gorgeous Storm who has fallen for and wants to make a life with her.
Cooking in the Bedroom, not Just the Kitchen
This novel by Emma Holly is set on Cape Cod, and boy oh boy you have to look at the Cape differently after reading Cooking Up a Storm. Thee is more sex here than you can imagine regular working people having, but not only do both Emma and Storm have each other, they have numerous other partners. This is ma modern erotic romance where the woman has traditionally masculline traits, and the hero has more feminine traits in some respects. While that may be disconcerting to some, it makes for a different, interesting read.
Storm comes looking for a job but really for a business he can take over. He is not sympathetic at all. Abby has a failing restaurant and needs help, both in the restaurant and in finding her sexual side. Storm unleashes a monster. Abby finds herself witha a number of people before deciding to make her way back to the aphrodesiac laced cooking, and loviong, of Storm.
I started our liking Abby and not caring much for Storm, but ended liking Storm much more but still not rooting for either one. I thought, by the end of the book, that they deserved each other.
Would I buy it? Yes. Would I keep it? No. The ses is to ordinary and the plot not interesting enough for it to go on my keeper shelf. Good beach or bathtub read where you don't care if it gets wet.
