Roux for Two by Aurora Rey

When her celebrity chef boss is taken down in a sexual harassment scandal, Chelsea Boudreaux's dream of getting her own cooking show comes true. Her hometown of Duchesne, Louisiana, provides the perfect backdrop for her modern takes on traditional Cajun fare. Vindicating herself to the mother who never believed in her is icing on the cake.

Bryce Cormier never left Duchesne and has no regrets, except that falling in love as a trans guy in a tiny town is easier said than done. When Chelsea comes home after more than a decade away, Bryce thinks he may have found the perfect woman. At least until Chelsea's burgeoning celebrity spills over and turns his world upside down.

It turns out love is like a good gumbo—what seems simple is complex, and the best results require a bit of courage. And like all the recipes say…First, you make a roux.

 Sometimes opposites really do attract. Fall in love with these butch/femme romance novellas. In An Epiphany in Flannel by Meghan O’Brien, small-town waitress Maisie Davis resolves the mystery of her sexuality after an unexpected encounter with a handsome stranger seated in the corner booth of Moe’s Fine Diner. Aiden Crane opens Maisie’s mind and body to exciting new possibilities—but can she find the courage to follow her heart? In Follow Her Lead by Aurora Rey, venture capitalist Jude Benoit is named Majesty of Artemis, New Orleans’s premier lesbian Mardi Gras parade and ball, and enlists the expertise of private dance instructor Gabriella Viard to save her from making a fool of herself. Jude can follow the steps, but what happens when Gabby challenges her to lead with her heart? In Just as You Are by Angie Williams, Dylan Fleming is a confident and capable woman in every way except the stereotypical ways her ex-girlfriend thought she should be. When her insecurities get the better of her and she fumbles on a date with beautiful auto mechanic Carrie Grice, Dylan has to let go of the past. Can she accept that she is loved just as she is?

Recipe for Love

Hannah is a smallish farm owner (her farm grows a lot of different stuff and even has orchards). Drew is the new head chef of the town's new 'farm to table' restaurant 'Fig'. Hannah has a contract with Fig (she grew up as friends with the owner of Fig) and when Drew gets sent during her interview to collect ingredients from the farm and is in her interview clothes Hannah assumes she's a fancy restaurant chef and so the two women get off on quite the wrong food (a dirty muddy one). But, cine Drew is the chef and Hannah the provider of veggies, they have to work together and so they start getting closer. Of course, there are a couple of big twists that happen during the book too. It would be a boring read with those in the story. I liked most of the characters from the beginning. Excpet for Hannah. I did slowly warm to her a bit more, but, at the beginning-- very n ot so much. I also sort of wish that there'd been more with Clare, Hannah's younger sister, she was such a vibrant character and I would love to know more about her and her burgeoning social media/marketing empire. It was an interesting and fun novel and I definitely liked the food stuff that was in it. Yum. I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books.
