Wes planned a drive by trip to Marietta, Montana to help his dad close a
business deal and then to head back to his life in New York. But when
his dad volunteers him for the Bachelor Bake-Off to commemorate a local
fallen first responder, Wes can’t say no, even though Marietta holds
painful memories and baking eludes his skill set. After an accident
sidelines Noelle Olsen’s career as a dancer, she moves to Montana to
pursue a new dream: opening a dance studio in Marietta’s historic and
charming downtown. When one of her students suckers her into helping the
handsome Wes St. Clare whip up some winning recipes, Noelle finds
herself dreaming about more than teaching dance. Falling in love wasn’t
part of Wes’ plans, and definitely not in Marietta, and as Noelle learns
more about Wes and his business dealings, she fears she’ll lose her
business along with her heart. Will cozy kitchens and a nudge from the
St. Claire family help Wes and Noelle find the love they didn’t know
they were looking for?

Review: A Recipe for Romance is a sweet, clean romance story, but it didn't fully click for me. The writing is a sometimes a bit repetitive (the fact that Wes is always perfectly groomed, for example, seems to be written in every other page) and I failed to grasp the moment Wes and Noelle really fall in love, especially since they'd met only about a handful of times before.
But it's still a fun and sweet romance story, with a fairy original plot, and I found it better than Sprinkled with Love, the other book I've read in the same series. If you're looking for a quick, no-strings attached romantic read, A Recipe for Romance is worth checking out.
