I just finished reading "Deliciously Sinful" by Lilli Feisty. And, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by her third full length novel. I kept waiting for it and verifying the release date on the web. When it finally arrived at the bookstore, I grabbed it and read it as soon as I got home. I actually read it a few months ago. I was so disappointed that I could not find the energy to write about it.
The story is about a cocky and conceited all-star chef that through his own hubris, manages to lose his prestigious job. He ends accepting a job in an out of the way small town (almost a commune). It is a family legacy and the owner takes her legacy seriously (way too seriously). It becomes boring how she cannot let go of the past. She is running herself into the ground running her business, the restaurant and taking care of her extended family, who are all quite capable of taking care of themselves, but she won’t really let them.
The love affair between the chef and the owner feels forced. The passion is trite as is the lovemaking. The whole story lacks passion and heat. It does not measure up to her first two novels. Although all the proper elements were there, it simply did not deliver.
Here is her website, if you want to take a look: http://www.lillianfeisty.com
Until next time!
