Culinary Chaos: Hotel Bombshell, Book 1

Hope was bubbly, impulsive, and literally flirted with anything that had a pulse. Opposite to that was Angelica, who absolutely did not have a bubbly personality. Angelica was serious, highly focused, and didn’t concern herself with frivolous matters or people. But then Hope happened. There was so much tension that you could literally cut it with a kitchen knife. I had to say it! Those kisses were as spicy as things got, but with this being the first book, I didn’t think it needed more than that. The slow burn gave them time to build attraction, mutual respect, and care, which I found when I struggled with my morals. Usually I’d stay far away from anything that steered towards infidelity because it makes me feel sick, but my morally gray side reared its head. Angelica’s character was referred to as the “Ice Fairy”, but beneath that facade she genuinely cared about people’s livelihood. Hope wasn’t bad per se, but her impulsiveness wasn't great either and there was the whole being married thing! There was so much drama while the cameras weren’t rolling, and I just couldn’t put it down. I loved the slow burn—I won’t do it again. It’s not punny. Overall, I thought the book was Chef’s Kiss—that was the last one—and I can’t wait for season two. Happy reading! 💋 Age Gap 💋 Sapphic Romance 💋 Dual POV

This book had me feeling so many emotions and da*mit if it didn't have me ticked off, offended, and upset for Ange! I need more and waiting for season 2 is going to be torture. Thank you Adrian J Smith for such a wonderful story!

Obsessed with this writer. This first book is perfect. It slowly explains the relationship between Angelica and Hope in such an angsty way but it works perfectly. It sets up the next few books without rushing it. In a perfect world there would be multiple books in every book series.
