The pastry chef aspect wand the repeated references to Antonin Careme, the first celebrity chef was the best part of this book. Evil uncle motif, unsuspected bad guy, reluctant hero, and impulsive heroine are some of the stereotypes for this romance. The French Revolution and Marie Antoinette flashbacks were effective and interesting, making for a rich background for the female lead. Another middling romance.
RATING: 1.5 stars.
Just... there was nothing special about this. It was bland and not interesting.
