The Great Chefs duology pairs food and romance in two of Nora Roberts’ early category novels. Summer Desserts features pastry chef Summer Lyndon, a glamorous and independent woman who takes a consulting job at a Philadelphia hotel and immediately butts heads with the straitlaced manager Blake Cocharan.
Lessons Learned sends Italian chef Carlo Franconi on a whirlwind American publicity tour alongside no-nonsense publicist Juliet Trent. Both books are light, witty, and fast-paced, with the kitchen providing a lively backdrop for the romantic sparring.
