Bastien isn't used to bad reviews. His French restaurant is the toast of the town, and when a well-known critic insults it, he's left off-kilter. Luckily for him he's found a distraction. He's just met an attractive writer at his niece's school bake sale. He's into food, into Bastien and the touch of kink they share, and there's a chemistry between them that might make the perfect recipe. James isn't expecting to meet a good-looking French chef at a bake sale, but he's not going to let the chance slide. It comes as a surprise when the chef turns out to be the owner of a place he knows-and has reviewed-and it puts James in a sticky situation. So he might have to omit some pertinent information to make it work... at least for now.
