After having worked with top European chefs, Sofia MacLean returned home to open her own bakery, Siùcar Fine Sweets. Between providing sweets for so many events and the store, everything was going according to plan and soon she could think about her franchise chain of confectioneries with only local products. Not even encounters with the unpleasantly handsome best man in her sister wedding Gabriel bothered her. Until numerous poisonings start appearing among the guests at the events and put everything she had built at risk.
Having succeeded so young, Gabriel Lanvini simply made it his goal to enjoy life to the fullest while he could, as he always knew his time would come sooner, just as it did for his mother. When he met the angry young pastry chef Sofia at his best friend's engagement dinner, he believed the inconvenience would be nothing more than a drink spilled on his shirt.
Among all the desserts and drama, Sofia must quickly figure out what is going on with her sweets before she loses her image, her bakery, and her dreams. Gabriel needs to decide if he is capable of reviewing the decisions he made so many years ago and opening up to new feelings. And together they will discover what the price of ambition and love are and how far they are willing to go to achieve them.
A compelling story about love, courage, trust and ambition, and how dangerous their opposites can be for everyone involved.
"As he tasted the dessert, Sofia followed his expression, but he was very good at show nothing. She had no way of knowing whether she would hear a compliment or a complaint. Given his history of irony, probably something to tease her about. But what she heard surprised her"

"Does he know your name?" "Nope," I shook my head. "But hey, it was like love at first sight," I said dreamily before snapping back to reality and looking at my best friend who gave me a weird look. "You have to help me," I said. "We're not going to the clothes store with me disguised as a girl again." "No," I groaned. "I want you to help me get him to notice me." My best friend's mouth opened then closed again before his eyes dropped to my boobs, "I mean, we can always start with that." "What? No!" I crossed my arms over my chest while he laughed like the idiot he was and I rolled my eyes, then let out a breath, "Come on, just do this for your Firefly." ▬▬▬▬▬ There was only one reason Renée McCann enjoyed her job at the bakery. To see the guy who had made her stomach flutter at the first sight.Concluida

Sugar
"My compliments to the chef." ~~~ Twenty-six year-old Kahlia Obisani is the youngest chef to have won the title of Food Doyen in the nation's toughest televised cooking competition. Overseen and judged by the biggest names in the culinary industry around the world, Kahlia became a national sensation when she won the title at the tender age of twenty. With her instant success and prize money, she set up her restaurant, a Michelin star establishment with her leading the helm as head chef. Her winning dish, now her signature dish, is the best selling item on the menu; a sweet dessert with root vegetables as the base ingredients. Thirty year-old Dorian Bankfurth is what most restauranteurs would consider the toughest food critic in the cooking scene. He's built and destroyed restaurants with a single review, putting multitudes of establishments on the map and driving even more into bankruptcy and closed doors. He's cold, judgemental, and cynical, but above all things he's fair. He gives reviews as honestly as he can, and has no problem giving credit where it's due. When his friends take him to award winning Obisani restaurant for his birthday, he's faced with a dish he never thought he'd encounter in his life; a dessert made from root vegetables. The kicker? Dorian hates sweet things. The moment he finally meets the chef behind the meal, both their worlds are rocked in a shocking contrast of sweet and sour. Kahlia's sweet disposition and Dorian's cold glare clash, sparking tension and whispers in those around them. Still, despite his abrasive attitude, Kahlia keeps smiling, infecting the man with a sweetness he hadn't known he was missing, and opening his palate to a whole new world he quickly became addicted to. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Could he accept the one ingredient his recipe was missing?Concluida
