Written in the 3rd person POV which is not my favourite but the author did a great job. Really enjoyed this book and my first read by this author. 
 Claire Hatley is a 31 yr old Seattle chef who leaves the big city for the Colorado mtns after discovering her long-time boyfriend is a cheating Fuckwit. Her self-esteem has taken a big hit and earlier insecurities with weight issues start to resurface. She takes on the chef position at a large ranch whose owner is looking to upscale the restaurant hoping to draw a more well-to-do clientele. Said owner is the studly cowboy Cole Mitchell - tall, ripped, blonde, blue-eyed - and one of the kindest, caring, romantic book heroes, who helps Claire realize she's sexy, beautiful and desirable. 
 And may I say Claire and Cole are quite the ACTIVE couple - in the bedroom and otherwise. As the story moves along the ranch has become busier than ever and the restaurant is booming with Claire's revamped menu choices. But then it all hits the fan around 60% on my e-reader when an ex from Cole's past shows up to stomp all over my happy. 
 Claire does what she believes is best for Cole, considering the circumstances, and leaves for London to stay with her sister and once again re-build her life post break-up. Cole, however, hasn't given up yet . . . sigh 
 Well written and great main characters - loved the sassy, smart-mouthed Claire and the caring, uber-romantic Cole and the playful banter exchanges between them. And once again this is one HOT read LMTY. 
 Great job.
