Blurb:
Step into the sumptuous world of Hartridge & Casas, the
Edwardian shopping palace, in this exciting new series. Every department serves
its customers luxury, and, behind the scenes, serves its employees romance and
intrigue.
After training under the famed Escoffier, Henri is now Head
Chef at the Royal Tea Room - the jewel in the crown of the newly opened
Hartridge & Casas department store. With his sights set on one day opening
his own restaurant, Henri has no time for distractions, especially not love. But
his moorings are shaken loose when Nico, a charming and gorgeous new waiter,
appears.
However, the interfering adventurer Lord Ockley is determined
to have Nico all to himself. When he can't, he threatens to expose Nico and
Henri's relationship, risking not only the destruction of their careers and
reputations, but possibly even worse.
Will Henri abandon his career dreams for the love of the only
man who has ever touched his soul? Can Nico convince Henri that love is the
most important dream of all?
Set against the backdrop of the 1908 Summer Olympics and the
historic Franco-British Exhibition, Catering to Love is the story of two men
trying to find love in a society where the mere mention of their passion risks
ruin.
Buoyed by a colorful cast of characters, they cook up a new
meaning to romance. It's a new century, with London blossoming into modernity,
and love is the most important ingredient.
My review:
This book immerses you in early 1900’s England. There, set
among the excitement of a new century we find the newly opened Hartridge &
Casas department store. A store where you can find the wonders of the world and
have a bite to eat at the Royal Tea Room. It is in the kitchens of the Royal
Tea Room that you will find Henri and Nico the subjects of this tale. Despite
the advancements made in this new century their love is still illegal and must
be hidden in the shadows. What will Henri and Nico give up to be together? I
loved visiting in Henri and Nicos world and their fight for love.
