I’m a sucker for foodie books and this would classify as one in my book. Check out the blurb from the back of the book:
Deidre McIntosh is everyone’s favorite go-to person. She seems so successful, so capable, so just plain perfect, with a popular cooking show, her own line of cakes and cookies, and an ideal relationship with Kevin Johnson—considered one of the most desirable men in Seattle.
Then Kevin’s ex-fiancée, sultry magazine publisher Sabine Durant, suddenly appears, and Deidre needs help. Already intimidated by Kevin’s glamorous, moneyed world—and his sister, who wants Deidre out of Kevin’s life—she fears she’s no match for Sabine. And the go-to girl must figure out where to go next before the tablecloth is pulled out from under her…
I’m sold! It has definitely made me curious so I’m going to try it out…anyone else read these kinds of books and going to give this book a go?
This book is available from Berkley. You can pre-order it here.
Hmm.. I may indeed. 🙂 I too love foodie heroes/heroines, especially ones who bake.
Do you know a good one with a baking hero? I love a man who knows his way around a piping bag. 😉
I love foodie books. I read the first book, Good Things and loved it! I recommend reading that before the new one.
Hmm, the blurb here sounds good. I’m going to add to my TBB list to check out. Will you be reviewing this book?
Sounds great – maybe because I’m in the middle of ‘Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment’ right now and loving it?
Woot! Rowena, thanks in advance. I can’t wait to read your review!
Cupk8,
I really love your username. I think that’s a cute play on your name! =) As far as knowing a baking hero…I can’t seem to think of any right now but if I find one, I’ll be sure to let you know. =)
Mary,
Is this book part of a series?
Tabitha,
Yeah, I’ll be reviewing this book on the blog sometime soon. Stay tuned for that.
Thanks ladies for stopping by Book Binge.
Rowena, I don’t think it will be a series per se. I think Table Manners is a sequel to Good Things. I really liked Good Things and would say read it before Table Manners if you can.
You like foodie books! I will have one for you to review in March.
I really think you will like it. It’s making me drool as I go through it, I’m not even kidding. And it’s a straight up contemporary. No suspense, etc. 🙂
Thanks for spreading the word! I read Good Things and really loved it. There’s something about Mia King’s writing that is so fun, plus all the food makes it even more interesting.
Any other recommendations? Thanks!
