'Can't Stand The Heat' a sexy romance

  Since a whole lot of eating goes on in Vegas (you know — all those buffets and such!), this new "foodie" book will be of interest to those who eat food and those who make it! 
  Miranda Wake is a food critic for a New York magazine, which means her job is to go to new restaurants and critique the food, service, etc. She has developed quite a reputation for being hard to please and quick with a scathing review. Deep down Miranda just wants to write about what she knows, and she knows food. She can’t cook it, but she knows if it tastes good.
  Adam Temple is about to open his new restaurant, “Market,” and is hoping for great reviews for his “local only” joint. But when he sees Miranda at the preview night, he knows that she is going to find something wrong, somewhere. When he makes a flip remark to her during a confrontation, offering her a chance to spend some time in his kitchen to get the “real” story, Miranda jumps at the chance — much to Adam’s dismay. Talk about inviting trouble.
  As the two dance around their strong personalities, and the surprisingly strong attraction they feel for one another, Miranda and Adam soon find there is more heating up in the kitchen than the food.
  In “Can’t Stand The Heat,” author Louisa Edwards has cooked up a sassy and sexy contemporary romance. With the popularity of the Food Network so high these days, this novel has arrived just in time to delight foodies and readers both. The food descriptions alone in this book are enough to set your mouth watering.
  Edwards includes some incredible recipes that are mentioned in the story, as well as a sneak peek into her next chapter of the “Recipe For Love” series. I predict a delicious future for this new writer
