'Take one lavish holiday wedding. Add one evil ex and his bridezilla. And toss in a smoking-hot chef from the past. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Victoria Blackwood has spent years trying to redeem herself after falling victim to a blackmail scheme that cost her father thousands. So, when he insists she coordinate a big Christmas wedding at her family’s winery, she can’t say no. Even if the groom is her ex, and the caterer just quit.
For Rafael Sanchez, a last-minute call to cater a huge society wedding is a golden opportunity. If he can prove he’s up to the challenge, his brothers might entrust him with a larger role in the family catering business. But when he meets Victoria, he can’t believe his eyes. Five years ago, they had a passionate fling that rocked his world. Until she left him with only a fake name to remember her by.
To pull off the perfect wedding, Victoria and Rafael can’t afford to get caught up in the past. But keeping things professional won’t be easy, not when the attraction between them burns hotter than Christmas in July.'
This is the story of Victoria and Rafael, which is told over the course of 34 Chapters. It is also the third book in the Blackwood Cellar series. The first book in the series was Blue Hawaiian, followed by the second book called Red Velvet.
From the very start of this book readers will discover that Victoria and Rafael have a past, that is not so rosy. This past will leave readers intrigued wondering whether or not their past is something that can be moved on from.
Not only do these characters have this past the lingers between them, they are both also hiding something from the other. This secret could be an obstacle to the couple if they want to get along or even together. One question that will stay with readers throughout this book is can they leave the past in the past and move on?
The situation the book is centred around is very unique and our main character Victoria finds herself in this weird and emotional situation. One that I would not like to be in myself. This situation where Victoria is planning her ex's wedding while having to work with an ex fling, provides the reader with interesting situations. These situations keep the reader enthralled with the story until the very end.
Now let me tell you about the Author Carla Luna, who writes contemporary romance with a dollop of humor and a pinch of spice. She is a former archaeologist, who still dreams of travelling to far-off places and she channels that wanderlust into the setting of her stories. When Carla isn't writing, she works in a spice emporium where she gets paid to discuss food and share her favorite recipes. Her passions include Broadway musicals, baking, whimsical office supplies and pop culture podcasts. Though she has roots in Los Angeles and Victoria, B.C., she currently resides in Wisconsin with her family and her spoiled Siberian cat.
Overall this book is the kind that a reader will pick up and be completely obsessed with until they finish the entire thing. Not only that but readers won't be able to stop with just this book. This one will make you want to read the rest of the series. You can get your copy HERE
Until Next Time
