<\/a>Two to Tangle by Melissa Brayden<\/b><\/span> is a melt in your mouth romance.<\/p>\n Gabriella Russo is the head chef at Tangle Valley\u2019s latest restaurant, Tangled. Or she will be, as soon as the renovations are complete. She has a great group of friends and after a cross country move, she\u2019s not looking for romance.<\/p>\n Ryan Jacks is the carpenter whose job it is to make Tangled a reality. Put simply, Ryan is a player, and everyone in Tangle Valley knows it. The truth, she\u2019s waiting for someone to spark her interest.<\/p>\n With a three-month deadline for the Tangled opening, Gabriella and Ryan find themselves working together a lot. Is there something more between them than the casual flirting on the job? If there is, can they find a way to keep it together with interferences from Gabriella\u2019s friends, Ryan\u2019s lovers, and the Biddies who know all the Tangle Valley gossip?<\/p>\n I could go on about the pros of this book for a long time, but I\u2019ll try to restrain myself.<\/p>\n Books with food are one of my favorite tropes, so how could I pass up an opportunity like this one? Brayden does not disappoint. There are plenty of mouth-watering descriptions of food and drink that are swoon worthy on their own. Combined with the coziness of a small town setting, I wanted to just curl up and stay in Tangle Valley for a while (lucky for me, there are still two books in the series I haven\u2019t read).<\/p>\n Melissa Sternenberg did a lovely job with the narration. There is so much personality and charm added to the characters in the audio version.<\/p>\n None.<\/p>\n This was the perfect read for me right now. I\u2019ve really been gravitating to the cozier reads and listens like this one. I loved it from start to finish. If you\u2019re a romance lover, it\u2019s a great audiobook. Just make sure you\u2019ve got plenty of delicious treats on hand or you\u2019ll be jealous of anyone who gets to taste Gabriella\u2019s cooking.<\/p>\n \u201cRyan Jacks.\u201d<\/p>\n Something about the way Gabriella stated her name had Ryan\u2019s full attention. She blinked and remembered her purpose. \u201cYeah, and you\u2019re Gabriella. Good to see you again. I\u2019m just here to take some more measurements,\u201d she said, indicating her laptop and tape measure. \u201cAlready covered the big stuff. This will be for some of the minor nooks and crannies in the space. That okay? I don\u2019t want to get in your way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMore than okay,\u201d Gabriella said, beaming. Her smile was infectious in all its vibrancy. Genuine, too. \u201cI\u2019m ready to turn this building into a living, breathing establishment. Joey estimated three months.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan hesitated. Time estimates were hard, especially given how many variables were out of her control. There could be discoveries along the way that added time, or worse, stop their work altogether. Sometimes subs didn\u2019t show up or turned in work that had to be redone by her, or the weather didn\u2019t cooperate. Generally, Ryan did her best to help manage the client\u2019s expectations. \u201cThat\u2019s the goal, and I emphasize goal. Construction sometimes has a mind of its own. I\u2019ve got my best people lined up, though, so we\u2019re in good shape.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll pay you a million dollars in ravioli to have this place ready to open by early summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan met what were definitely hazel eyes. Striking ones. Her cheeks felt hot. \u201cYou don\u2019t have a million dollars in ravioli.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could get it.\u201d<\/p>\n Okay, that made her laugh. She liked Gabriella\u2019s spunk. This woman was going to be fun to work with. \u201cAll right, but I\u2019m holding you to it. So is Dale.\u201d Her dog stood up as if to agree.<\/p>\n \u201cDale can already have all the food he wants from my pan. That\u2019s a given.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan winced. \u201cHe\u2019s a pig. Don\u2019t go there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cToo late,\u201d Gabriella said, stroking his chin. \u201cHe\u2019s my buddy and he\u2019s gonna make sure you finish.
