Denver chef Rachel Bishop has accomplished everything she's dreamed and some things she never dared hope, like winning a James Beard Award and heading up her own fine-dining restaurant. But when a targeted smear campaign causes her to be pushed out of the business by her partners, she vows to do whatever it takes to get her life back . . . even if that means joining forces with the man who inadvertently set the disaster in motion.
Essayist Alex Kanin never imagined his pointed editorial would go viral. Ironically, his attempt to highlight the pitfalls of online criticism has the opposite effect: it revives his own flagging career by destroying that of a perfect stranger. Plagued by guilt-fueled writer's block, Alex vows to do whatever he can to repair the damage. He just doesn't expect his interest in the beautiful chef to turn personal.
Alex agrees to help rebuild Rachel's tarnished image by offering his connections and his home to host an exclusive pop-up dinner party targeted to Denver's most influential citizens: the Saturday Night Supper Club. As they work together to make the project a success, Rachel begins to realize Alex is not the unfeeling opportunist she once thought he was, and that perhaps there's life―and love―outside the pressure-cooker of her chosen career. But can she give up her lifelong goals without losing her identity as well?

      Starred review from December 11, 2017
      Readers seeking sweet and funny romance will be delighted with this food-centered series opener from Laureano (London Tides). Rachel Bishop finds purpose in creating a fine dining experience as the head chef and part owner of an upscale Denver restaurant. But her dream job is suddenly ripped away by the unwitting hands of writer Alex Kanin: his New Yorker article about internet trolling that mentions a spurious, negative review of her restaurant goes viral—and business at her restaurant dries up. Alex feels guilty about the fallout, so to combat the negative publicity he joins forces with Rachel to restart her career, creating a unique supper club for Denver’s foodies. A growing connection between Rachel and Alex adds unexpected spice to their partnership, leaving Rachel to discover whether the demise of one dream can lead to another coming true. Through Alex’s Russian Orthodox roots Laureano explores, with a light touch, how different faith traditions can lead people towards the same convictions. Bright, jovial, and peppered with romance and delectable cuisine, this is
      a sweet and lively love story.

      Narrator Teri Schnaubelt serves up an elegant romance simmering with cooking references. Responding to an article written by freelancer Alex Kanin, high-end Denver chef Rachel Bishop commits a social media faux pas and loses her job. Wanting to atone, Alex teams up with Rachel to offer a Saturday Night Supper Club to entice a new investor for Rachel. Schnaubelt's smooth pacing conveys cooking terminology and sensory experiences to listeners. Her straightforward presentation matches Rachel and Alex's respectful relationship. Rachel's voice has an underlying longing for approval and belonging, while Alex's deeper, slightly gruff tone sounds entirely natural. Rachel's friend, Melody, and Alex's sister, Dina, are memorable, too. Schnaubelt opens up Laureano's story as it moves from cooking to personal growth to love. C.A. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
