Review / Release Blitz: Blue Plate Special (Table for Two #2) by Layla Reyne



Blue Plate Special by Layla Reyne is now live!

Giving orders in the kitchen is chef Noah Becker's specialty. He's made a name for himself dishing up seasonal, farm-to-table comfort food at the local diner. A name that isn't really his.

The last person Ezra Rosin expects to find while he's on sabbatical in a small town is his son's best friend. The one he helped disappear thirteen years ago. The one who's grown into a hauntingly beautiful man.

Noah and Ezra grow closer, reconnecting over their shared love of food and wine until their friendship smolders into more. They agree to explore the unexpected dynamic, to enjoy each other while Ezra finishes the semester, but when past and present collide, Noah and Ezra must decide if their chemistry across the table and between the sheets is enough to cook up a delicious future together.

Blue Plate Special is a stand-alone M/M foodie romance novella in the Table for Two universe. It features an age-gap romance between mature characters, family finding their way back to each other, and lots of noshing.

MY REVIEW

The very last person Noah expected to see in his restaurant is his former best friend's father, Ezra, the man who helped him escape his abusive father years ago. Ever since, Noah has never allowed himself to get too comfortable, lest his past come back to find him. Now Ezra's here and he's finding it hard to resist the gorgeous ginger, even though he knows Ezra isn't going to be here permanently. But then again, perhaps neither is he...

Ezra's never forgotten his son Ty's best friend. Now laying eyes on him for the first time in more than a decade, he can't believe this gorgeous man is the young man he helped escape his abusive father. Though he may be more than 20 years older than Noah, there's something about him that calls to him. Now they're exploring their powerful attraction, exploring Ezra's desires and Noah's, and he's realizing he doesn't want it to end. How can he possibly make a relationship work when he's leaving town soon, and he gets the feeling Noah's own time here is about to end?

I will be the first to admit that age gap relationships are not always my thing, but Noah and Ezra's story works beautifully. Add in all the yummy culinary references, the light D/s, and what the reader gets is a wonderful story about found family, love, and healing, with a hot, hot couple at its center.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
