Delicious

I found this book sexy and emotional. The attraction between Reggie and Gabe is depicted well in the beginning of the book and only gets better as the story progresses. However, what I liked most about the book is the dramatic ending. I loved LOVED how the suspense comes in when we find out who the real stalker is, and feels Gabe's pain because he didn't believe in Reggie. She suffers for his mistake. The last chapter is romantic and shows the dept of feelings between the two main characters. That, combined with the sexy scenes, make this one a keeper!

I really enjoyed this book. It was so intriguing I finished in one sittting! I love the way the author combined the erotic with suspense. This is definitely someone to watch. I can't wait for her next novel!

Okay, I'll admit to being a tad biased--I read this book a dozen times before it was published. But just today, I picked up the paperback book and thought, "Oh, I'll just skim the first page, and then put it on my bookshelf," and I COULD NOT STOP READING!!! I was laughing so hard--Jami is such a witty, funny writer. And the sex scenes leave my breathless every time. I am 100% positive that anyone who picks this book up will adore it. And aren't you lucky--Jami Alden has five more books coming out in the next year. A whole treasure trove of fantastic books.

I smiled from page one to The End. Ms. Aldens' voice is fresh, and sassy. I thoroughly enjoyed the sexy relationship between the two protags, but what was equally enjoyable to me was the relationship between Reggie and her sister. I also enjoyed how Ms. Alden gave her characters real issues.

Chef Reggie Caldwell hosts the extremely popular Simply Delicious with Reggie Caldwell show on the Cuisine Network and is working on a cookbook. However, though on top of the world, Reggie receives explicit letters and pictures of genitals. Her sister Natalie persuades her to take it seriously so they go to the nearest San Francisco Police Department station where Sergeant Mulvaney, though a fan, admits the SFPD can do nothing for her. Reggie hires a bodyguard, Gabe Bankovic, whom she shared a fabulous night of sex with in Hawaii that neither has forgotten. As they reacquaint themselves to one another's delicious body, they fall in love, but first there remains a stalker angered by her giving away her cherry pie to Gabe, who worries he may be to distracted with the main course to insure the adversary receives his just dessert. Jani Alden writes a torrid erotic romantic suspense that hooks the audience because fans will care what happens to Reggie (and by whom). Reggie is a wonderful brave protagonist who does her thing; for instance simply becoming a chef took courage as that vocation alienates her mother the Boston lawyer. Gabe is her perfect partner in and out of bed as he knows he is willing to risk his life to keep his beloved safe from her unknown stalker. The audience will root for this couple enjoying delicious dining at home. Harriet Klausner
