We haven’t reviewed this one but Meader is a consistently strong writer of contemporary romances. Here’s the blurb:

What Lili DeLuca meant to do: investigate the mysterious light in her family restaurant’s kitchen. What she actually did: Brained a famous chef with a frying pan.

Between her family’s failing restaurant, her soggy-bottomed love life, and her dreams put on hold as she manages, well, everything, the last thing Lili needs is an arrogant celebrity with a concussion. But when sexy TV chef Jack Kilroy challenges her father to a cook-off for his show, she spies an opportunity to save the family business and indulge in some no-strings fun with the hottest man she’s ever seen in a chef’s jacket. Pity the reputed playboy has decided to turn over a new leaf …

Jack’s celebrity has left him feeling used and used up. While Lili’s throaty moans when she tastes his creations turn him on, he’s even more aroused by how this beautiful, funny woman is unimpressed by his fame. He knows they could be amazing together, if she could only see past his rabid fan base.

Now as he’s about to start a new prime time TV cooking show, can Jack convince Lili to realize her own ambitions…..

Sexy and smart, this book got a B+ from us. Our reviewer wrote:

Books like The Legal Affair are why I love reviewing. Prior to this, I had no experience with Nisha Sharma or the Legal Briefs series. I started The Legal Affair with nothing more than a passing interest in the blurb about a self-made female CEO and corporate intrigue. I finished it with that satisfied sigh that comes from a good story neatly wrapped up, and a new author on my watch list.

This is a fun, sweet contemp. It got a B+ from us. Our reviewer wrote:

The (Fake) Dating Game is a saucy romance, a heavy meditation on grief, and a physically-minded gameshow romp all at once. It’s also very sexually forward – Leo and Holden think they’re in a simple hook-up situation, so the sex is immediate. But then again, so’s the chemistry.

I really liked Holden and Leo, and it’s clear they’re pretty perfect for each other. The romance is sweet, the scenes between them laden with spice. Holden’s connection to his mother is genuinely touching as well. This book is mostly about his learning to find a place to put his grief for his mother, a concept that is poignant, relatable, and realistically handled.

We’ve given high marks to the other books we’ve reviewed by Adler. Here’s the blurb for this one:

Lara’s had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. He’s tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Oh, and he’s talking to her now. On purpose and everything. Maybe…flirting, even? No, wait, he’s definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara’s wanted out of life.

Except she’s haunted by a memory. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers.

Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. But if she’s finally got the guy, why can’t she stop thinking about the girl?
