Always Room for Dessert

This book was very interesting, not slow, not to fast.I think this book was excellent for this authors first book. A great romance, kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.I just loved how they mixed business and pleasure.

What can I say? I was captivated. The book's pace is very appropriate as well. Not too slow and not too fast. People often forget too fast can be a problem as well. I fell in love with the chef Marcus Bazemore. It made me wish he was real. The other thing that impressed me about the book was the intimate scenes. It was very tastefully done. Too many books today step over the line. While A.C. was graphic where he needed to be, it didn't smother the story. The story line was clever. A woman hooks up with a chef to help him build his restaurant traffic, with recipes in several chapters. Simply delicious.I can't wait for another book by A.C. Moore.

Always Room for Dessert is a great read. the story takes place in Washington, DC where Marcus Bazemore opens a restaurant and learns the hard way that just because you're a chef, it doesn't mean you know how to get people to come and eat at your establishment.When Marcus meets Justine Coleman, a budding entrepreneur who has a specialty in marketing, the two team up to increase the success of the restaurant and take an interest in each other.Their interest is only the beginning as Justine begins to experience success in a way that has her changing her values and making deals with some very dangerous people.I loved the way that A.C. Moore alternates between Justine's and Marcus' point of view. The reader gets a chance to see how men and women can have two entirely different perspectives centered around one situation. Throughout the book, I found everything from steamy love scenes, comedy and even thrilling drama. The recipes and dishes that Marcus prepares for Justine were also a nice added touch. I think that A.C. Moore was clever to include the recipes at the end of the chapters. I gave this book a five star rating, because Always Room for Dessert goes well beyond the typical dime a dozen romance novel formula that's cluttering the shelves. I think we have a real author here!
