When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum and is sent packing, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public's good graces is to work alongside Hadley. As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love.In the meantime, hide the knives."

I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I have a LOVE/dislike relationship with this book!
When Hadley & Max were together, and were good to each other I was DIGGING the chemistry!! 😍😍
Hadley's "blowing up at random times" felt a bit hypocritical to me. One minute she was all "flirty flirty", then the next she was flying off the handle. (And she DIDN'T SEE IT!!!)
*cough* Max wasn't the only one with anger issues...*cough*
Now, when she WASN'T freaking out, I really enjoyed her character! She was cutesy, a bit naive, a little insecure. Which is where I think a lot of her issues stemmed from.
She did have a lot of character growth throughout the story, so I guess I can't harp on her too much. 😅
AHHHH, MAX! I loved him! Plain & simple.
He was trying SO hard to be a better man, and no one believed in him. (Other than our gracious Hadley 😉)
I loved watching him grow as a character, and in himself as the story progressed.
This book definely had its heavy hitting moments that make a person sit up and think. It wasn't super "in your face Christian fiction". So if you have any
