The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla LaureanoMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I am a foodie but since having my two boys, do not have time to experience dining at its finest on a regular basis anymore. So, experiencing it in this story was a real joy.
Sometimes with a foodie book, there is a risk that there is possibly too much focus on the food (if possible) but not with this one. Both Rachel and Alex provided the reader with so much history, struggles and dreams to discover, that it kept the interest. I loved the relationship Rachel had with her friends, which I hope will we see more off in the series and the sweet romance developing between Rachel and Alex.
This was the first time that I have read a Carla Laureano book. Her stories flow smoothly which makes reading easy and enjoyable.

About the book:
Denver chef Rachel Bishop has accomplished everything she’s dreamed and some things she never dared hope, like winning a James Beard Award and heading up her own fine-dining restaurant. But when a targeted smear campaign causes her to be pushed out of the business by her partners, she vows to do whatever it takes to get her life back . . . even if that means joining forces with the man who inadvertently set the disaster in motion.
Essayist Alex Kanin never imagined his pointed editorial would go viral. Ironically, his attempt to highlight the pitfalls of online criticism has the opposite effect: it revives his own flagging career by destroying that of a perfect stranger. Plagued by guilt-fueled writer’s block, Alex vows to do whatever he can to repair the damage. He just doesn’t expect his interest in the beautiful chef to turn personal.
Alex agrees to help rebuild Rachel’s tarnished image by offering his connections and his home to host an exclusive pop-up dinner party targeted to Denver’s most influential citizens: the Saturday Night Supper Club. As they work together to make the project a success, Rachel begins to realize Alex is not the unfeeling opportunist she once thought he was, and that perhaps there’s life?and love?outside the pressure-cooker of her chosen career. But can she give up her lifelong goals without losing her identity as well?
