Odette, who looks like Linda Lusardi in a DKNY suit and has more zeros at the end of her bank balance than an astronaut's altimeter, decides to throw up the high-powered job that doesn't leave time for relationships and start her own club/restaurant. When the venture seems doomed before it has even begun by a rival chef who is as gorgeous as Jean Christophe Novelli and as temperamental as Marco Pierre White, Odette determines on revenge. Accepting a menial job in her enemy's kitchen, she plots his downfall - but ends up getting her heart broken, fingers burnt and her goose cooked. . .
I love Fiona Walker and her quirky characters however I found myself very frustrated with Odette. She was just totally unbelievable. I wanted to shout at her she was so feeble. Couple of times I almost put the book down as it was driving me mad but I hung in there. It ended up a pretty good book but nothing compared to her others. Do read it you will enjoy it.
Between males

I loved this book, it was a great read with a fantastic plot. Being a huge Fiona Walker fan, I didn't find this book as good as her others. But the great plots the indepth charactors and the fantastic settings were all there. I was let down mostly by Odette, I found I couldn't relate to her as I could with other of Walkers heroins, such as Ellen from Lots of love. Odette seemed very self centered and I seemed to get more wrapped up in other charactors such as Jimmy, who I absolutly loved, he was one of those charactors you really wanted to meet in real life. But don't let this put you off, read Between males, it is a super read.
