"If ever there was a contemporary romance that rated a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5 for me, this one is it!" – The Romance Reviews When famous—and infamous—country singer rock star Rye Crenshaw saunters into the diner where she cooks, Tory Simmons is certain she's got him pegged. He's a bad boy who lives large. But while she couldn't care less about country music or arrogant men, Rye makes her an offer she can't refuse when he asks her to be his private chef. The job is the answer to all her prayers: it will clear out her debt and finance the fresh start she desperately needs. Rye is certain his sassy new cook is the last woman who'd ever tempt him, but spending time with the wholesome girl next door will do wonders for his damaged public image. Her food also happens to be the best he's ever eaten, both comforting and seductive. They find themselves becoming friends although both are secretly hoping for a whole lot more. When an emergency in his family whisks him home, Rye does the one thing he's never risked: he lets a woman into his heart… Soon the emotions Rye faked for the tabloids become all too real, but will the country heaven he's found in Tory's arms survive in the real world? *** There’s more waiting for you in Dare River… Treat yourself to the complete series: COUNTRY HEAVEN A down-on-her-luck cook uses food’s magical properties to tame a beastly country singer after he hires her under false pretenses to restore his image.
