Book Reviews of Cooking up a Storm
Book Review: Another hot, enthralling erotica from Emma Holly!
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel is further proof of Emma Holly's talent. Cooking Up a Storm was one of Black Lace's all-time bestsellers and I couldn't wait to get my hand on a copy. I am so glad I came across this new trade paperback reprint. I like the fact that this erotica has a compelling story and intriguing characters. Abby Coates's Cape Cod restaurant, The Coates Inn, is about to go out of business. That is until Storm Dupre, a handsome and sensual chef, comes to the rescue. But he does far more than cook meals with recipes that seem to awaken the diners' libidos. He takes Abby into a sexual odyssey she'd never envisaged. She wants to experience as much intense passion as she can with as many people as possible. However, she has no idea that Storm's insatiable pleasures have a price -- ownership of The Coates Inn, to be exact. There are various twists throughout the novel.
As said earlier, what I love about this novel is that it has a compelling plot and characters you grow to care about. Storm is my favorite character. His metamorphosis is far more palpable than Abby's. Abby's change from innocent flower to borderline nympho annoyed me at times. I hated her at the end. I couldn't help but notice that the changes the protagonists go through are quite ironic. I loved the scenes centered on Abby and Storm. Their erotic scenes are beautiful -- and I marveled at Storm's sexual confidence. I couldn't help but feel that he was too good for Abby. Even though this isn't a romance novel, I cared a lot about how this couple turned out. That's what happens when you read an erotic romance with good characterization and story development. Emma Holly never fails to surprise me. I've only read two of her Black Lace offerings and I cannot wait to pick up another one. I strongly recommend this to those with a penchant for smoldering erotica.
