A family of caterers expands as one gets married and restaurants get busy. Red Hook is a part of Brooklyn where staff come and go, and Skye Sinclair walks straight into a job as head cook when Logan Blaise posts a vacancy. In YOU'RE THE ONE, Skye has been working in the family business but she doesn't want to get stuck doing office chores, she wants to run the kitchen. This is her chance to prove herself without using the family name. Logan is engaged to an elegant girl from a California vintner family, and all the Blaise side think it's an ideal match. But he likes this rough-turning-gentrified neighbourhood. His ex-cop father is recovering from illness so Logan is filling in; he doesn't intend staying long.

Working for a stranger is a lot better than working for her brothers, Sky realises. Maybe the newness of it is why she feels attracted to Logan who, of course, is off-limits. Logan is determined to respect boundaries with the gorgeous, smart new employee. However his fiancée Payton arrives to see why he hasn't been phoning, and she didn't know he was from Brooklyn as he'd always passed it off as New York. She doesn't approve of anything. Okay, Logan didn't grow up on Park Avenue, but he's not ashamed. Payton however feels that their relationship has been based on lies.

The first two chapters are packed with dense conversations at a wedding between people we don't know yet and with no speech tags, so it's very hard to keep track. I picked up the story in the simpler third chapter where Skye comes in and it gets easier to follow, then skipped back for any details I'd missed. The characters each have valid points of view and I found myself asking what I'd have done in their situations. This is an adult novel and the first time two people make love covers ten pages, so it's not for those who just want a sweet romance. As important is the food descriptions - everything from fruit salad to braised pork belly is lovingly described and seems to taste so good to the reader.

Robin Kaye has written two previous books about the Red Hook family and it might be easier for those who have read them to get to grips with all the characters, but the Brooklyn setting does take over the story. Try YOU'RE THE ONE for some tasty inspiration in the kitchen or the bedroom.
