...................
A love-averse Korean royal court cuisine instructor is waylaid by a gorgeous professor - and prince in disguise - who will do anything to prove to her that love and happily ever after can be theirs.
Love is a dish best served hot . . .
Emma Yoon dreams of opening a culinary school in Los Angeles. To that end, she teaches Korean royal court cuisine to hopeful brides of upper-crust Korean families. Thanks to her godmother, a renowned matchmaker, business is booming. But when rival matchmakers plot against her godmother using Emma's single status, she must save her godmother's reputation and her dreams by finding a perfect-on-paper husband - even if she's not ready for love. Meeting the gorgeous and irresistible Professor Michel Chevalier is not part of her plan.
Prince Michel Chevalier refuses to marry a woman handpicked by his elders. If he must spend the rest of his life in service to his country, he wants to do so with someone he loves by his side. With only three months left until his arranged engagement is formally announced, Michel escapes to Los Angeles to find a bride of his choosing, someone who loves him for himself rather than his crown. Serendipity leads him right to Emma Yoon, who might just be the woman of his dreams.
'A tender and sexy romance that [readers] will absolutely devour' Library Journal, starred review
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this insubstantial contemporary rom-com, Lee (the Hana Trio series) introduces Korean royal court cuisine instructor Emma Yoon, who dreams of opening a culinary school to honor the food that has brought her culture together for centuries. She's also looking for marriage—but not for romance. She believes the best marriages are practical arrangements, and she uses her matchmaker godmother's fail-proofed Madame Ddu Method to find a partner. However, when Emma meets her best match in person, she's distracted throughout their date by her attraction to a kind and handsome stranger. The man introduces himself as Michel Chevalier, a visiting foreign professor, but he's actually the prince of the fictional European nation Rouleme. He's in disguise and looking to find his future queen on his terms. Emma decides to give in to her attraction to the visiting professor before settling down. As the pair embark on an affair, Michel falls for Emma, and with his return to royal duties looming, he must find a way to tell her the truth. Lee attempts to liven up well-worn romance tropes with a detailed account of Korean royal court culture, but the predictable plot and flat characters keep things disappointingly surface-level. It's light and fluffy, but there's not much else here.
