"The cookbook was an inspiration!"

Adam Morely and Lauren Bryant have been best friends their whole lives and when Lauren starts receiving anonymous gifts and Adam makes a few suggestive remarks, Lauren mistakenly thinks that Adam is her secret admirer. The problem is that Adam really isn't Lauren's secret admirer but now that they've taken their friendship to a new level, he's reluctant to do anything to jeopardize that fact.

Adam is looking for a long-term relationship that will lead to a wife and kids and Lauren is building her business up so she's actually not looking for that kind of relationship right at the moment.

Lauren remembers when her father died, leaving her family almost penniless and her mother devastated. Lauren had to pull the family together and keep their heads above water. She also had to get her brother Rusty out of too many scrapes growing up, so all she wants is financial stability. Adam remembers being foisted off on Lauren's family too many times so his parents could travel, so all he wants is family stability.

Their sexual relationship starts off great but as they grow closer, will that be enough or are they willing to take it another step? Only time will tell.

The use of props in this book was incredible. I especially enjoyed the erotic cookbook that Adam and Lauren had fun experimenting with! I wanted to shake Lauren a few times in this book but in the end all turned out well! A truly hot, exciting Blaze read!
