Second chance romance stories are not my favorites. I figure if you broke up before there was probably a good reason. Especially if you break up for the incredibly stupid reason that the couple in this book did. They are both chefs. She's a pastry chef. He gets a job offer in Paris. She decides to stay at home in Australia because there is no work for her. As a PASTRY CHEF. IN FRANCE...
At this point I was muttering to myself about agreeing to review this book, but the book surprised me. There wasn't a magical fix to the relationship as soon as her estranged husband reappeared. She is still insanely jealous of what he's been able to do. He is still prone to running over everyone else's thoughts and feelings in pursuit of what he wants. They can't communicate at all about anything other than food.
They both need to grow up and decide if their relationship is more important than their businesses. Can they work together and have professional disagreements without it hurting their personal relationship?
This book turned out to be deeper than I expected from the first few chapters. It shows that life is messy and complicated and that you need to learn to work through it to get what you want.
