The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano

The Library Journal review: Chef Rachel Bishop never imagined that her successful career could disintegrate so quickly after an online negative review of her restaurant goes viral, but she is determined to restore her reputation. Alex Kanin’s New Yorker article has given his stalled writing career a boost, but at a cost to Rachel’s restaurant. Guilt-ridden, he offers her a chance to prepare a dinner for an exclusive Denver supper club. As they become better acquainted, the couple realize that they have more than food in common. The latest novel from Laureano (Under Scottish Stars) is a delight for foodies, providing delicious descriptions of dishes and glimpses into the culinary world. The romance develops gradually, allowing readers to experience and savor Rachel and Alex’s deepening connection.

VERDICT Romance aficionados and fans of stories about overcoming obstacles and the role of faith in everyday life will eagerly await the next entry in this sweet food-centered series.

My two cents: Sweet, succulent, and fun! Foodies will salivate, and romantics will sigh. The characters are truly well developed and easy to like. And the subtitle, “A Supper Club Novel,” hints that we can expect more like it. Love me a good series!

When you find an appealing book, you usually look for more from that author. Luckily, Laureano has other series waiting for us. My favorite, and the one that originally alerted me to her writing, also includes foodie yumminess—but the setting (Scotland!) sucked me in and made me a fan.
