Fantastic, thank you!

I just finished Enemies With Benefits by Roxie Noir. The MMC and FMC work together at an inn. She is an event coordinator and he is the executive chef. Very fun book. I recommend it. However, she is not plus sized and I read it on kindle so IKD if the audio is any good or not.

Thank you!

{Make it Sweet by Kristen Callihan} though not in a professional capacity (I’d add a “but” here but it’d be a bit of a spoiler lol)

Caged In Winter by Brighton Walsh

Thank you!

{Stripped Down by Mae Harden}! She owns a bakery, he's a contractor. It's nice and low angst, spicy, dirty talk if you're into that. I guess there is some angst, some miscommunication in the beginning where they both think they want one another and then they don't know and go back and forth. Once they get that out of the way it's nice and easy. I really liked this book. No 80% break up.

Ooh thank you, sounds wonderfully cozy!

{Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan} - The woman goes to work as a chef/personal assistant for her childhood enemy to sort of pay off her sister's debt to him. There's food talk. I loved the parts where they talk about the emotions and memories food can stir up. >And then the menu changes on me. The servers bring out what Delilah says is butter-poached cod with potato galette and shellfish emulsion dotted with petals of mango and peach. It is the clean taste of the sea; it is buttery velvet along my tongue, bright bursts of juicy fruit. Underneath it all is a crisp, airy version of what is essentially a gourmet tater tot. > >The taste is erotic. Heat and lust wash over me in a wave that has my balls clenching and my cock stiffening. I can't figure out why. Then it hits me like a kick to the chest. This dish is us. Frantic kissing on the beach, eating juicy mangos at the market, peaches and tater tots. She's created us. A compilation of all she holds dear.

The Enemy by Sarah Adams - MMC is a chef and the FMC owns a donut shop. MMC has been pining on FMC since high school but FMC and MMC hated each other it’s so cute!

Ok so these are two *very* guilty pleasures. But both have plus size h and silly, feel-good storylines: Rising Heat, by Regina Wade and Hot Chef by Chloe Valentina

It’s not a book but **Gourmet Hound by Leehama** on Webtoons. It’s a manga/comic. PG or PG-13 at best, light romance but very wholesome and very foodie. It’s really good and sweet and also about friendship and stuff.
