About this book
Elise Moreau lives for the perfect bite, traveling the globe to critique the world’s most elite dining experiences. But her latest assignment in Iceland is unlike anything she has ever tasted. Hidden deep within a subterranean cavern lies a restaurant run by Stenrik, a mysterious, brooding chef who prefers the shadows to the endless light of the midnight sun. For a food critic struggling with claustrophobia, the cramped, stone-walled kitchen is a nightmare, but the man behind the stove is a temptation she cannot ignore.
This steamy paranormal romance masterfully blends the grumpy-sunshine dynamic with an exotic, atmospheric setting. As the tension between the reserved, hulking troll and the vivacious critic shifts from professional irritation to sizzling attraction, the cave begins to feel less like a prison and more like a sanctuary. Each dish served is a masterpiece of luxury, but it is the raw, volcanic chemistry between them that truly sets the temperature rising.
If you are craving a unique shifter story that pairs mouthwatering gourmet descriptions with high-stakes desire, this is your next obsession. Dive into a tale where the heat in the kitchen is nothing compared to the hunger between two unlikely lovers.

Elise had plans for her Iceland assignment, but Stenrik changed everything in moments. 500 years of restraint get gloriously obliterated purely for our enjoyment. This series is perfect for summer reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. )
