    About this audiobook

    Chloe Daniels doesn’t need a man—after escaping a marriage gone bad, she guards her heart as closely as the details of her past. So when hot-tempered celebrity chef Ben “the Beast” Haddox storms into her struggling toy store, Chloe is determined not to be drawn in by his broad shoulders…or baby-blue eyes.

    In his hometown, Ben’s culinary career is almost as famous as his bad-boy rep. He’s out to prove to naysayers he’s a success by opening a new restaurant—and the only thing standing in his way is Chloe’s store. But before he has a chance to convert her space into his signature eatery, she cooks up a plan to show him that her shop is worth saving.

    As things start to sizzle between them, Chloe must figure out how to avoid getting burned. Can she trust herself to love again, or has she jumped out of the frying pan and into desire?

      Decent Story but I had a difficult time with the whole premise of why he wanted to close the store, especially after finding out about the current status of the original owner. The story does touch on tough topics regarding abuse and how different people handle it.

      I was given an ARC from Net Gallery in exchange for an honest review.

      This was the first book of Michelle Major's that I read. I will be reading more. You are drawn into the story right away. Ben Haddox is an egotistical chef with a temper. He has moved back home to help his dad raise his niece & nephew after his brother is sent to jail. He is determined to set up his new restaurant at a specific location. That location just happens to house The Toy Chest owned & operated by Chloe Daniels. Chloe managed to escape an abusive relationship & uses her store to help other women get on their feet. Sparks fly immediately when Ben & Chloe meet. But not the good kind. Can they resolve their differences? Do they act on their attraction?

      I enjoyed Michelle's writing style. Her characters are warm & dimensional. The plot line is believable & easy to follow but has enough twists & side stories to keep you involved. It was a great read for the end of a day when you want ho be entertained.
