It's hard to remain enemies when you've broken bread together
Val Navarro’s first mistake: going out dancing after a bad breakup when the chef should be focused on her family business. Her second mistake? Thinking the handsome, sensitive stranger she meets could be more than a rebound – until she discovers he’s Philip Wagner of Wagner Developments. His father’s company could shut down her Puerto Rican restaurant and unravel her tight-knit neighborhood. When Philip takes over negotiations, Val wants to believe he has good intentions. But is following her heart a recipe for disaster?
This fresh voice is one to watch after the joy this culturally rich debut brings to life! Sera Taino delivers well developed characters with just enough turmoil to peak our interest and hold it as love enters the mix and dazzles in A DELICIOUS DILEMMA. I’ll be watching for more from this delightful new author!
Val is a refreshing character. She never loses sight of her family heritage and loving traditions even as she steps forward to help save and enrich the neighborhood they adore. The intermingling of life, love and hearth is really satisfying.
Philip should feel like the bad guy in this book since he’s part of the redevelopment group, but he’s really sweet and down to earth and watching him fall for Val and want her to have everything she always dreamed of is heartwarming.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an enemies to lovers story with a whole lot of heart and close knit community involved.
