MY REVIEW

Miller's done. His restaurant is serving its last dinner, and he's about to embark on a culinary journey, his last one, probably. His diagnosis means he'll probably lose his sense of taste, and as a premier chef, that's the worst possible thing that could happen to him. Or so he thought, until he met Clancy, the beautiful man who's going on the culinary adventure with him. But he has to keep Clancy at a distance because why let someone into his heart if he won't be around for very long?

Clancy has one break before he goes to work with his dad at his plastic surgery practice. He's set for a culinary tour with a chef that he never expected to fall for. But the reason Miller's been keeping him at a distance is probably the biggest obstacle there could be, and Clancy will have to decide how he'll react to Miller's news, will he let Miller push him away, or stand by him in every way?

I'm a self-proclaimed foodie, it's good for me that I live in a foodie area, so the premise of Dine With Me was seriously intriguing. Clancy and Miller's descriptions of all the food were fun, made me hungry in some areas, and perhaps queasy in others, but formed a great basis for a budding relationship between the chef and the doctor. I loved Clancy, his eagerness and delight in all the food, and his obvious attraction to the more broody Miller. Miller, oh Miller...sometimes his reasoning and behavior was frustrating and annoying, but I guess understandable. Thank God his ex brought Clancy to him, because without him, Miller would have just continued on his path and we know where that would have led. The ending is sweet, the tension is angsty, and the food is a wonderful connector between the two men.
