I'm torn between which book is my favorite so far. Although I've only read the first three. I can't decide if Delicious is my favorite or Decadent.
This book continues the story of Luc Traverson. He's a man who seems to have it all. He has more money then he can spend, a number one cook book with a second on the way. A TV series in the works and so much more. Unfortunately the one thing he doesn't have he believes he'll never achieve. He's a man without a family. He has no child because a tragic illness left him sterile
Then comes Alyssa Devereaux. She's a former exotic dancer, now strip club owner, hopping to branch out and open a restaurant. After sleeping with Luc several weeks ago she's now cashing in on a promise, Luc is to be her head chef for opening week. It seems like the perfect plan except she never planed on falling hopelessly in love with Luc after there first night together. Things only worsen when she realizes she doesn't fit into what Luc perceives as his future plan. He's looking for a down to earth and simple woman who will be the perfect mother and not complain when he confesses that to have a child with him it may take a while and it may entail some procedures that do not include conceiving the old fashion way.
Alyssa is none of the things he believes to be the perfect mother. He knows nothing about her past or who she really is, all he knows is the present and the fact that she's an ex-stripper, whom just the sight of makes Luc wild with desire. His plan to ignore her for the week changes on the first day and from that moment on he's lost. You'd think things would be perfect, I mean come on, they both are ready to com-bust with desire at just the sight of one another. The problem is Luc can't seem to get his head out of his ass long enough to get to know her and see how wonderful she really is and just forget about his so called "ideal woman". He can't see that weather he wants to or not he's already hopelessly in love with her. He can't see that she's not what he believes is the stereotype. He can't seem to understand that he's the only one she's slept with in years and that what she feels for him is genuine. Convincing him is hard on her self-esteem, self-worth and self-preservation.
There are many twists and turns in this book that are a signature with Shayla Black's books. Just when you think they've got the bad guy....low and behold there's another one. With stalkers, crazy men and Alyssa's past and a few other things I wont spoil I just couldn't put this book down. This book hooked me within the first chapter and it kept me hooked until the end. There were times I just wanted to yell at the characters and say..."Hey just sit down and spill", or "why can't you just believe her, what has she done to create such doubt". I laughed, I cried, I had to turn on the air because it just got so dam intense that I felt like crawling up the wall. I loved this book and I can't wait to get the next few in this series. There on my list of must reads and I hope you all do to.
