Joy Ballard is a popular host of a TV cooking show called Dining with Joy. She took over the show when her father, the previous host, died. It was his final request to his daughter. The problem is that Joy can't cook. Everyone on the show covers for her and her charm and comedic timing have made the show a hit. When the show is sold to another production company, Joy continues to keep the secret so the show can go on.
Luke Redmond is a chef who is down on his luck. His previous restaurant went bankrupt and now he is working at a friend's diner trying to make enough money to pay back his friends.
When Joy and Luke are thrown together in an ambush cooking contest, Luke's cooking covers for Joy's lack of skills. Joy's spontaneous kiss of gratitude goes viral on YouTube and before she knows it, she has a cohost. Should she include Luke in on the secret and risk their budding relationship?
Although I've enjoyed other books by this author one scene in the book says it all. Joy, thinking about her deception and the mess it's making of her life thinks "If I were reading my story in a book I would yell at the character to tell the truth already!" That was my thought exactly through most of the book.
