Era tanto che non leggevo due storie d'amore senza mostri, vampiri, sci-fi e visioni distopiche del futuro e mi sono anche ricordata perchè....Personalmente non mi fanno impazzire se non sono almeno ambientate nell'era Regency e inoltre queste due novelle che gli editori italiani hanno fatto uscire in un unico libro, risentono del peso degli anni, va bene che nessuno ha un cellulare o un personal computer, ma quando si mettono a fumare e a spedire telegrammi mi cala tutto il pathos....

* re-read on audio Lessons Learned April 2010, the audio version kinda bored me. Not one of my favorite NR books.

I read this last year, don't know why it isn't on my read list. Oh well. I just found Lessons Learned on audio at the library and checked it out not realizing that I've read it before. I love audio books and can't wait to see how this one turned out.

it was okay.

Table for Two by Nora Roberts
two books about chefs and romance in one.
Summer Desserts
Dessert chef Summer Linden falls in love with the owner Blake Coccoron, family owned hotels all over the world. He's got a proposition for her baking.
Perfection-she won't take anything but. It took her 3 hours to make that treat and she was used to doing that, traveling to make special treats for special high priced people.
He presented her with a challenge and then told her who he'd hire if she refused: an enemy of hers.
Lots of hot steamy sex along with the baking and organizational skills make this an excellent read.
When she gets injured her mother is around to help take care of her and that is driving her up the wall.
.
Lessons Learned
Carlo Franconi is in love with her, the publicist. Juliet
Love the shopping trip in the middle of the night.
He's trying to make a meal from fresh ingredients and everything is going wrong. The wrong ingredients, they are not fresh and the table isn't going to
be strong enough. He is promoting his book by traveling to big cities and giving a demo of Italian pasta.
He indulges her when preparing her a meal when they don't have any promo plans for the rest of the day. Love all the travel and sounds as hectic as it was for them.
Hot steamy sex combined with the food makes this a great read.
Recipes included!

Light. Fun. Happy. Really enjoyed it!

too much culture for me

This was my first time anything by this author , and I loved this duology is that you can't put down.
