Louisa Edwards brings tidings of good food and reading
joy for the winner of her Special Edition Christmas
Contest. To celebrate a foodie’s favorite holiday, Louisa
will gift one lucky winner with an autographed copy of her
September foodie-meets-romance paperback, CAN’T STAND
THE HEAT (St. Martin’s Press); a bevy of culinary
ornaments, a trusty oven mitt and signature CAN’T STAND
THE HEAT apron and spatula set. This prize package
provides all the right ingredients for a fun day of
baking—followed by a steamy night of reading!
For sharp-tongued food critic Miranda Wake, the chance to
spend a month in Adam Temple’s kitchen to write an expose
is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Miranda can find
a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once she learns
what really goes on at his trendy Manhattan restaurant.
Trouble is, she never expected Adam to find out her most
embarrassing secret: This critic has no idea how to cook!
Adam’s not about to have his reputation burned by a critic
who doesn’t even know the difference between poaching and
paring. He’ll just have to give the tempting redhead a few
private lessons of his own—teaching her what it means to
cook with passion.
"Have you ever read a book that is so engrossing that you
miss getting off the bus, skip dinner and stay up late in
the night just to find out what happens? If it’s been
awhile since you read such a magnetic story, CAN’T STAND
THE HEAT will end your reading rut."
