Into the Fire (Hot Nights) (Hot Night, #1) (Entangled Indulgence)

Sex, food, and revenge! A winning combination which Into the Fire definitely has! Lila and Jackson went to culinary school together, and hooked up one night before a big competition. Their pillow talk consisted of what they'd be cooking the next morning. Not being sure of his intentions, Lila changes her menu, and not sure if she lied to him or not, he cooks her dish! Six months later, the two are still mad each other, but Jack needs Lila's creative touch for his new menu, and she really needs the money. Hopefully with a side of vengeance.

Into the Fire was fun and made me hungry! So much food and food talk! And there's plenty of hate sex! The tension is super high between these rival chefs, but they can't keep their hands off of each other. It seems like whenever they start arguing, clothes start coming off! Sadly, there are no sex scenes including food. I expected that to be a given, but oh well.

The one thing that did bother me about Into the Fire and kept me from loving it was Jack basically buying Lila's attention. I do not think it's okay in anyway for a man to purchase a woman's workplace to force her into anything. Jack was desperate for her help, but to me, he overstepped by buying the company she worked for, becoming her boss in order to become her boss again....if that makes sense. It's not okay!

Despite that one issue, I did really enjoy Into the Fire. Lila and Jack work well together in the kitchen and in the bedroom, even though they bumped heads everywhere else! There's also a touching storyline involving Jack's seemingly heartless father.
