About
this book:
“Take one lovely young woman.
Add two ambitious young men.
Stir . . . and stand back.
As a graduate of Fannie Farmer's School of Cookery, Charlotte Gregory is thrilled to have the opportunity to travel, lecture, and give cooking demonstrations on the very latest kitchen revolution--the gas stove. And she certainly doesn't mind that the gas company has hired the kindhearted Lewis Mathis to entertain at her lectures.
Lewis encourages Charlotte's work, especially her crusade to introduce fresh, appetizing, nutritious food to those convalescing in hospitals. But young hospital superintendent Dr. Joel Brooks is not convinced any changes should be made--especially by this outspoken young woman.
When Charlotte and Joel are coerced into planning a fund-raising gala for the hospital, will this combustible pair explode?
Follow the second Gregory sister as she looks for true love and makes her way in a rapidly changing world in this breezy, lighthearted love triangle that will keep you guessing.”

My personal Rating-
Hmm. Not
quite as I remembered. Charlotte was fun (a bit too stubborn, but that’s become
the norm for Christian Fiction leading ladies) but, Joel got mad/upset too
easily at Charlotte in my opinion, so I wasn’t really a fan of him. Another
mention of the main girl’s corset being too tight in an odd situation. Overall,
this series has it’s cute points, but the romance leans to the upper
semi-detailed side at times.
See y’all
on Wednesday with a new review!
