Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner

Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel's other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.

When Max experiences aery public temper tantrum, he's sent packing to get his life in order. When he returns, career in shambles, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public's good graces is to work alongside Hadley.

As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along, but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love. In the meantime, hide the knives.

The story line of this book was good.  One chef has anger issues. The other doesn't want to make waves.  After Max goes through anger management, he is paired with Hadley on a to die for cooking show that all famous chefs aspire to be on.  This is not what either of them really want to do.  But they want to be on the show.  One minute they are getting along they next not so much.  

I think this book could have been half the size if there wasn't so much inner thinking that more or less said the same thing over and over.  After about two thirds of the way in the book, it got more interesting.  There was more action and not so much inner thinking.

This book was published by a Christian publisher.  There was only a few references to Jesus.  But it was clean and had no foul language.  

I was given this book by Revell Publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
