Dirty Chef (Camassia Cove Universe Book 11) Kindle Edition

by Cara Dee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 328 ratings

Friends to Lovers | Comedy | Foodporn | Standalone
They’re almost there. They just need a final push. A romance about two stubborn restaurant owners and roommates who’re about to put together a menu for Valentine’s Day. Chef Adam provides the blindfold!

Alessia dreams of love and starting a family with the man she runs Coho Bar & Grill with, but she’s under the impression that Adam has a type. Tall, thin, and gorgeous. She believes she’s none of those things, but Adam knows better, and he’s slowly losing his damn mind around Alessia. Despite having so much to lose, he’s about to risk it all.

This story takes place in Cara Dee’s Camassia Cove Universe, a fictional town where all books stand on their own, unless otherwise stated, and the reader can jump in wherever they want.

Romance Across the Spectrum.

I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex.

There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly.

Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve.

I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.

Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.

I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

~Cara.

    After a reading dry spell, Cara Dee's book Dirty Chef was all I needed! I think the buildup between Alessia and Adam was written with great care and compelled the reader to get hooked to the story. Sexy hot, and also realistic and skillfully crafted, Dirty Chef is a sinfully sweet read you don't want to miss.

    Ooh damn, this was HOT! I love the Camassia Cove world and am always stoked to come back to it. Alessia and Adam have been dancing around one another for a decade and finally, finally!, with one menu tasting, everything they thought they couldn't have explodes with some serious sexual napalm. What's even better? All the tenderness that hits you right in the feels. Short, infinitely sweet, and incredibly sexy, this is definitely going on my re-read shelf.

    The Dirty Chef by Cara Dee is such a great love story that tugged at my heartstrings and made me root for a couple to get their act together and just be happy. I laughed and cried. Cara Dee doesn’t just tell a story she creates the emotion and atmosphere in her writing too. This story somehow manages to be light-hearted & fun. I love getting to read both Adam and Alessia's POV.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020
    This is a sweet to steamy story about friends to lovers. You will be rooting for them to get their act together and see that they are meant to be more than friends.
    Also we get a glimpse of some of the other citizens of Camassia that we have already gotten to hear their story.

    You will definitely get hungry reading this book, with all the yummy food being cooked in the story.

    This is the kind of fun, feel good story you need at times like this. This was a sweet and sexy friends to love story I ate up. Note you probably should not read on an empty stomach because of the yummy food talk. This author never disappoints. Thanks for a perfect and fun way to escape reality for a short while.

    Dirty Chef was really cute in the beginning. I'm a sucker for an age gap and a childhood crush which is exactly what we get here. Alessia meets Adam when she's 15 and he is a 27 year old volunteer at her camp. Before you know it she talks her parents into letting her live in America with her aunt and grows up to become best friends with Adam. These two do everything together including their living situation. Like I said the beginning was really enjoyable but then so much food descriptions and overall boring story line. It takes these two forever to get together and honestly I skimmed most of this short book. So many other couples were mentioned but at the moment I have no plans to read anymore.

    Woow que j'ai aimé ce roman ! Si je suis une fan de Cara Dee c'est avant tout pour ses romans MM mais j'ai passé un moment très agréable avec Dirty chef.
    C'est à chaque fois un bonheur absolu de replonger dans l'univers de Camassia Cove et sa pléthore de personnages. Si au départ j'avais un peu de mal à me retrouver avec tout ce petit monde et bien ce n'est plus le cas, ça y est ! Ils font partie de la famille. D'ailleurs, l'auteure a fait un super boulot sur son site dans la partie dédiée à cette série !
    Ce roman est très court mais il n'en demeure pas moi très réussi. Alessia et Adam sont colocataires, amis et partenaires en affaires. Ils possèdent en effet un restaurant, leur bébé et leur passion tout à la fois. Mais les deux amis ressentent bien plus pour l'autre qu'ils ne veulent bien l'avouer...

    Cette histoire est vraiment mignonne mais elle sait aussi être plus torride avec une sensualité bien présente. Alessia et Adam sont vraiment passionnés par leur boulot, j'ai adoré les voir à l'oeuvre, leur créativité...franchement cela m'a vraiment fait saliver car les délicieuses recettes de cuisines ou desserts sucrés ne manquent pas.
    Alessia et Adam partagent beaucoup, on sent vraiment qu'ils tiennent l'un à l'autre et leurs moments de tendre complicité ont de quoi faire rêver. Et quand cela devient plus pimenté entre eux, là il y a carrément de quoi fantasmer. Il faut dire que les frères Grady sont vraiment sexy !

    Et justement, ce tome est une torture car, encore une fois, Jameson Grady vient me titiller, me narguer, me rendre complètement folle ! Je crois que c'est son histoire que j'attends avec le plus d'impatience et cela depuis des années...Pitié Cara, je la veux !!!!!

    Une lecture que j'ai dévorée <3 (less)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and dirty as usual for ms Dee, but please no more italian
    Reviewed in Italy on June 29, 2021

    This is one other good written story from this author that I follow from her FF time. No angst, a bit playful and easy to read, maybe just a bit predictable.
    For those who like the genre I recommend it.
    That said, what I really find bothersome is her obsession with Italian language that I'm finding in more stories every time. I'm Italian and each and every time she puts there some Italian word it just breaks the flow of the dialogue. That's because rarely they're used properly.
    'mannaggia' is misunderstood, probably somewhere 'topolino' is used as an endearment but it's not so common and not so nice, 'bel bambino','bella bambina' is SO NOT an endearment, it is usually said when mocking a pervert who's trying to entice a kid to follow him. It evokes a disturbing image. Instead, when fussing over a newborn we say 'ehi, bellissima', as beautiful, or 'piccolina' similar to 'little one'.
    And it's "Chi non risica non ROSICA"! The way she wrote it means "if you don't exert yourself you don't exert yourself" that doesn't make sense. The correct say literally is "if you don't exert yourself you don't get to eat the bone", figuratively we can say "nothing ventured nothing gained"as she said.

    Camassia Cove has a new story, Dirty Chef. A M/F romance from the fab Cara Dee. Our leading lady, Alessia met Adam, our leading man at 15 when he was the chef at the camp she was attending. Now jump forward a few years. Our leads are best friends, business partners, and housemates. Oh! they are also madly in love with each other and have been since they met. Let’s see what happens…
    Will Adam cook his way into Alessia’s heart, will Alessia let him?
