Talented chef Meg
Delaney hasn’t spoken to her cheating ex-fiancé, Matt Midland, for two
years. Ditching him at the altar after blurting out “I can’t” instead of
“I do” would sour any relationship. But now, just as Meg is finally
ready to bury the hatchet, she learns closure is permanently off the
menu. And the kicker? Matt’s brother, Kyle, is back in her life,
stirring up feelings that are equal parts guilt and lust.
Meg was
the best thing that never happened to Kyle. He couldn’t make a move on
his brother’s girlfriend—even if Matt didn’t value her nearly enough.
The situation is even more complicated now that Meg’s bestselling
aphrodisiac cookbook has spawned a legal battle with the Midlands. Maybe
he should stay away. But love, like family, plays by its own rules. And
the one woman he shouldn’t want might be the only one who’s perfect for
him.

I love when a story can make me think out of the box and
question what I would do in a similar situation and this book did just that to
me.
Meg loved Matt and was in a relationship with him for ten
years and almost married him. Until the night before their wedding when Matt
decides to come clean and confess his indiscretions. As you can imagine things
did not go well after that. Two years later when Meg decides she needs to
forgive Matt and get some closure she is hit with another devastating blow.
In walks Kyle (Matt’s brother) who has loved Meg for as long
as he can remember but she has always been off limits to him UNTIL…..she’s not.
I adored how this story was written. We were able to get
flashbacks of Meg & Matt’s life together plus we got the here and now
between Meg and Kyle. The complexity of the story really grabs you and sucks
you into their lives. The story had me battling with myself about what I felt
was wrong and what I felt was right. I love feeling like I am in turmoil over a
story, that means that it is really speaking to me.
Author Tawna Fenske did an fantastic job at not overdoing any
drama that was surely there and she did a amazing job at bringing the story
full circle in the end.
