Eat, Play, Love

Plain old ice cream just isn't going to cut it. To beat these blues, chef Olivia Marconi needs the good stuff: rich, creamy tiramisu gelato. There's no place better to get it than Italy, but a fresh start is nearly impossible with Sean Kindred dogging her every move. She's been burned by his too-hot-to-handle antics before, although there's no denying the man can still get her all fired up. Could a weeklong affair finally turn into something more lasting... or will it all go up in flames?

Praise for Scrumptious:

"Usen's debut rules the kitchen with lip-smacking prose and rowdy protagonists who put Iron Chef to shame." â??Publishers Weekly

"A sexy, heartfelt, laugh-out-loud culinary romance" â??Louisa Edwards, author of Hot Under Pressure

"Readers can practically taste, see, and feel every word." â??RT Book Reviews

"The perfect dish for your reading day" â??Romance Junk… (mehr)

Verona, Italy. Romeo and Juliet, and a family inn and vineyard. Luscious descriptions of food prep:
...She chopped fennel and more garlic, glorying in the beauty of the simple ingredients.

As she julienned the remaining carrots for the sheer pleasure of feeling her knife move, she felt an ease she hadn't enjoyed for months, maybe years. She felt drunk with the joy of creating something...

High school sweethearts who are coming together again, there's a sweet poignancy to Olivia and Sean's rekindled romance following her divorce. Olivia as a character starts out skittish (not unusual after a bad marriage/divorce) and passive, but she finds her backbone in the end.

I'm not sure that Sean, a born White Knight, who is torn between rescuing his little brother and Olivia, makes as full a journey as Olivia does. Other characters, like Nonna Lucia, Gia, and Big Daddy add some delightful flavor. Foodies, fans of Italy, and contemporary romance will love this. A great read and a happy ending. Perfetto.
