Romance Comedy

Zoey is redoing her life after leaving her husband Derek and moving to New York to live with her sister, Ruth. Now Zoey can be her own woman and work the hours she wants as a private caterer.

Zoey receives a call from Tristan Malloy, a millionaire and possible new client. Strangely, he tells her she only has to show up, and he'll provide everything she needs. When she gets to his house, Zoey walks into the most beautiful kitchen she's ever seen. Zoey gets to know Tristan better while she's doing prep work for his party. He's much different than she expects and they begin a friendship. 

One night, Tristan agrees to go out with Zoey and Ruth for a night on the town. Lo and behold, sparks fly between Zoey and Tristan... But Zoey's ex has decided he wants her back, no matter what! 

After reading so many murder mysteries, UNDER THE TABLE by Stephanie Evanovich was a delight. I really enjoyed the banter between Zoey and Tristain. This really shows just how opposites do attract.

Evanovich proves if a woman puts her mind to it, she can accomplish anything. UNDER THE TABLE will appeal to a variety of readers. It's a delightful book with a wonderful romance.

SUMMARY

Suffocating in a dead-end marriage, Midwesterner Zoey Sullivan fled to New York and moved in with her older sister Ruth, a carefree, vivacious beauty with a string of eligible bachelors at her beck and call. Giving herself three months in the city to clear her head and find a direction, Zoey dodges calls from her ex Derek, and distracts herself by cooking and catering a few private dinners and parties. Pursuing her passion for cooking was never an option when she was with Derek, and now Zoey relishes her independence. When Zoeyโ€™s meets reclusive millionaire Tristan Malloy, sheโ€™s blown away by his kitchenโ€”a marble and stainless steel temple worthy of the culinary godsโ€”and charmed by his impeccable gentlemanly manners. But despite his firm body, handsome looks, and piles of cash, Tristanโ€”a computer programmerโ€”is shy and more than a little socially awkward. Zoey is sure that Tristan has all the right raw ingredients โ€”and sheโ€™s the right person to spice them up turn him into a delectable dish. But Zoeyโ€™s unprepared for just how well her makeover works. Tristan turns out to be even sexier once heโ€™s gained a little confidence and the right wardrobe. Beneath the gorgeous package, Tristan is a great guy who deserves a woman who really appreciates him. Slowly but surely, Zoey realizes she may have found her perfect matchโ€”but does Tristan even know how her feelings have changed? Is that warm look in his eyes gratitude for the new and exciting world sheโ€™s ushered him into, or something more? And what will happen when Zoeyโ€™s ex comes to town, looking to win her back?
