Just one snag: she can't cook. They agree to a deal - Jamie will teach Val to cook in return for the makeover of the inn. They grow increasingly close, but Val is leaving at the end of the year. Isn't she?

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Romantic, 7 Jun 1998
By A Customer
In this novel, I found a gentle mix of very different characters that brings about a sweet story of how two women's goals, though different, become fused. There is: Shelia, born with a golden spoon in her mouth and, as a "predator," she mixes business with pleasure; Jan prefers flings, no commitment please; and Kathy is immature, selfish and homophobic -- yes I am a lesbian, no I am straight. Jamie carries the world on her shoulders as she buries her anxieties in chocolate. Em, although absent, and Liesel, provide guidance to Jamie at a time when she needs to make a change. Val, on the brink of success, realizes she has to become the person she has sold herself to be. The story is tied together effectively with recipes and columns interspersed between chapters, energetic meal preparation in the kitchen, and vigorous renovations of the inn and restaurant. Thus, I have two criticisms. Sheila, who is brought in and out of the story abruptly, is not needed as a narrator. The two-page introductory could have been cut. The writing around Sheila could have been changed slightly to keep the book in the third-person and not hurt the story line. I really did not see anyone making up for lost time. They were more like renovating the inn and restaurant and renewing themselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to par, 29 Jan 1999
By A Customer
The characters lacked depth and generally the story was more about food and construction than love. I should have taped Home Improvement and saved my $10. She has never disappointed me in the past. I suppose my expactations for Kallmaker are a little to high.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have done better, 1 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I admit I spent also only one day reading it, but I was more disappointed than pleased. She is not up to her best in this romance. It is all too clear what will happen and the woman who tells the story is far too outragouse a person to mark any scores with avid K readers. I know this is rather harsh for someone who really like to read Kallmaker, but I thought this one was a let down. Let's hope for her next romance.
