You had me at Halloumi

 



You Had Me At Halloumi

When it comes to love, its feta late than never

Freya Butterly has always dreamed of being a Head Chef but despite running every service at the Mediterranean restaurant, she still doesn't get the recognition she deserves. Craving adventure and a real taste of the Mediterranean, Freya takes matters into her own hands, ditching both her job and unsympathetic boyfriend and packing her bags for sunny Cyprus in pursuit of the prestigious Golden Spoon culinary award.

As one of the seven competitors, Freya is determined to rediscover her passion for food and clinch the prize, but what she doesn't expect to discover is Xanthos. As gorgeous as he is charming - he's quite the dish - and Freya is instantly attracted to him, but this trip was about Cypriot cuisine, not romance and she knows she must not let Xanthos distract her from the competition.

But if she walks away, will Freya spend the rest of her life wondering What If? Surely, it's feta late than never . . .

My Review

Loved the idea of transporting the equivalent of 'Masterchef' to Cyprus. As you can imagine, there are luscious descriptions of food to drool over as well as a hunky man for Freya to fall for. However. she needs to keep her eye on the game if she's going to win the prestigious 'Golden Spoon'. Things don't quite go to plan but it's one hell of a journey. Great fun and a sizzling summer read.
