ABOUT THE BOOK
Their recipes were hot, but not as hot as their rivalry…
At King Culinary Institute owned and run by celebrity Chef Errol King and his sons Axel and Kobe King, the competition is fierce and steamy…
Kobe King: I am one half of the King Twins, and a son of legendary Chef Errol King. I didn’t think I would have anything to do with that goody two shoes girl whose family run one of the biggest restaurants in San Francisco. But somehow I can’t stop thinking about her, even though I am all wrong for her.
MY REVIEW
Book 2 in the Kings of Fire series is the story of Kobe and Kat, and it left this reader underwhelmed. As a newcomer to the series, I may be missing something, but the characters failed to captivate me. In fact, I was more interested in Axel and Layla’s story.
The book takes place in a culinary academy, providing an intriguing backdrop for the story’s unfolding. The dynamic between Kat and Kobe is promising as the friends-to-enemies are forced to collaborate on a restaurant project. However, I found myself hoping for more depth in the characters. Kobe is a whiny bully who seems unable to think for himself and is heavily influenced by his father. Kat comes across as a spoiled rich girl primarily concerned with her designer clothes and outward appearance rather than standing up for herself. Both characters have potential, but I felt they had little complexity and growth, leaving much to be desired in their development.
If you are seeking a fast-paced dark romance set in an intriguing venue, this may be the book for you.
Thank you to Ms. Gow for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
