Dating the Chef (New Year's Eve Besties) Kindle Edition

by Ember Davis (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 297 ratings
SILAS
I’ve grumbled and sneered about doing the food for a Valentine’s Day speed dating event at Aces since the moment I was told about it. It seems like a horrible way to meet someone. How can you make a connection in five minutes?

When I do one more check to make sure everything is ready for the break in the middle of the event, all my protests fly out of the window. I don’t need five minutes to make a connection, all I need is one glimpse of her.

Watching her talk with other men has me on edge. It’s only a matter of time before I can make my approach. Then I’ll make her mine. She’s going to learn there are some perks to dating a chef and I’ll be doing a lot more than dating Paisley.

PAISLEY
To say I was resistant to the idea of MatchMakers Inc. speed dating event would be an understatement. My best friends talked me into it. I couldn’t argue with shaking up my love life and I did make a New Year’s resolution. Everything else is going so well, but when it comes to love it’s been one mistake after another.

Spending my Valentine’s Day at the event instead of on my couch eating ice cream and watching romance movies doesn’t sound like a good time to me, but I promised I’d give it a try. I’m skeptical about the whole thing and I don’t feel a spark with any of the participants, but I’m determined to see the night through.

I’m not expecting a man to set his sights on me. He’s not even part of the event, but I can’t deny there’s something about him. With the way he looks at me and the way he makes me feel? Dating is not where this relationship ends, not even close.

**18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Silas in Healing Her Home (Banks Ink. Book 5) and Faking Her Home (Banks Ink. Book 6). Meet Paisley in Built Dad Bod Tough (Dad Bod Series – Men Built for Comfort).**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ember Davis loves alpha heroes with a range of emotions, but a strong sense of how to take care of their women. She loves her heroines from all walks of life, just like her heroes, and she wants them to be real and relatable. Her heroines tend to be sassy, opinionated and smart.

Ember is a stay at home mom of two who recently refound her love of books and all things romance and is so glad that she did. She’s always been creative, but writing and creating stories that she would love to read satisfies the dreams she had as a little girl. She loves butterflies, the color purple and enjoying time with her family.

Pssst…it’s totally a pen name, but everything above is 100% true.

    I love a great instalove story. And this book goes right up on my shelf as one of the best for 2022. First, I love a strong Alpha male. And Silas has that in spades. Paisley was wasn't overly weak or too overbearing. The instant chemistry between these two was 🔥🔥🔥 which made this book a great read. This author is new to me. But I'll definitely check out more of her books.

    A swoon worthy, fun romance read! I love how the characters come alive from their instant attraction to giving in to the emotions they both feel. Silas was just doing his job, but from the first sight he was a goner for Paisley. Their romance was sweet and I loved that he has to sit through her doing speed dating, his alpha character came out. A heartfelt romantic story just in time for the Valentine holiday.

    First, let me thank you for the bit of racial diversity. I love the fact that people of all shapes and sizes are embraced. I also like whether virgin or not, there is an all-encompassing love. I like that it didn't take them long to get to a proposal. What I don't like is there is no read guide for sequence of reading bit all in all a great read.

    "The tunnel vision I succumbed to widens enough for me to realize my woman is at the speed dating event. A speed dating event she’s participating in. Here. In this room with other men. Men who think she’s available. She isn’t. She sure as f-k isn’t single. Not now. She’s mine."

    This was a cute, instalove read that I really enjoyed.

    I think my favorite part was Silas having to sit there and watch Paisley go through the speed dating event. It was pretty hilarious. I nice little romance for Valentine's day that you should pick up.

    The men of the Banks Ink Family fall hard and fast as soon as they see their woman for the first time. So the fact that Silas does not believe that anyone could find love in 5 minutes is funny. All it takes is one look and he knows Paisley is his.

    Ember Davis writes her characters open to love and you can’t help falling.

    This is a fast steamy sexy read. Paisley goes to a matchmaking event where she will talk to lots of men for 5 minutes and if they hit it off real date time. Silas is the chef for the event ho thinks it is crazy that people would even sign up for something like that. But the minute he sees Paisley he knows she's the one!! Their chemistry is hot, sexy, steamy and he is so totally in love at first sight. This is a fun fast steamy read and I enjoyed reading it immensely.

    Paisley made a New Year's resolution to put herself out more in the dating world so she joins a Valentine's speed dating event never expecting Silas. Silas is at the dating event as the chef but as soon as he spots Paisley he knows he found his future in this entertaining read.

    The storyline was great, however despite a love of alpha males, Silas was just too OTT Alpha male. I almost didn't finish the book because he made me cringe within his first chapter. It was written very well, just not my cup of tea which was a shame as it's the first of Ember's books I haven't loved.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2022

    One man who is put off by valentine's Day and speed dating and one woman who wants the romance and hope of finding her match at the event. Silas was definitely all alpha from the start lol especially when he saw Paisley. He soon changed his mind. Paisley is still in shock I think. Doesn't need a man to look after her but likes Silas. It was a good story. The first of this series by multiple authors.
