Synopsis:
Torn between two worlds, can their love survive the season?
Chef’s Kiss at the Chalet is a deliciously cosy, festive, small-town romance, for fans of Chalet Girl, Laurie Gilmore and Hannah Grace.
When Eleanor Evans lands a spot at London’s most prestigious culinary school, her dreams finally feel within reach. Desperate to scrape together the cash for her tuition, she accepts a last-minute agency position as a chalet girl, which whisks her away to Maplewood Creek, a quaint, snow-kissed town nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Hired by the affluent Hawthorne family, Elle finds herself in a world of wealth, luxury and big egos, far removed from her humdrum everyday life. As she navigates the challenges of her new job, mastering gourmet dishes and catering to the whims of her discerning employers, she realizes there’s something she hadn’t accounted Charles Hawthorne, the family’s charming and undeniably sexy eldest son.
Charles soon becomes an unexpected distraction for Elle – she can’t deny the sizzling chemistry between them. But, with Elle’s career aspirations hanging in the balance and Charles’s carefree lifestyle and family expectations putting a strain on their blossoming relationship, can this unlikely duo survive the season?
Review:
I received a copy of Chef’s Kiss at the Chalet in exchange for an honest review.
Sometimes you just need to read a small-town romance, and Chef’s Kiss at the Chalet ticked all the right boxes for me. It was cute, cosy and very low-stakes. I had a wonderful few days reading it, and it made me crave all the festive foods!
Elle is a talented chef who is just trying to get together the money to go to culinary school, so she takes a job as a ‘chalet girl’ in a small town for a rich family. From here we watch her meet the family’s son, Charles, and the romance begins. Honestly, this was a wonderfully low-stakes romance where the guy is clearly utterly charmed by the girl and it’s a delight to watch it unfold over the 300 pages of the book.
Elle makes some wonderful friends through the book, and they become almost a found family. There’s decorating antics, the towns baking competition and just general festive goodness all throughout these pages. It’s perfect to read in the lead up to Christmas, or in those quiet days before New Years.
Grab this for a quick, cute read that’ll have you feeling the love.
