Adrienne has rarely stayed in one place too long. She and her father moved a lot when she was younger, she drifted among a few different colleges on her way to a degree, and she has worked in some leading hotels throughout the world. But she’s not really sure what she wants from life, career-wise or relationship-wise.
When she winds up in Nantucket without a clue as to what her next job will be, she has a chance meeting with Thatcher Smith, the owner of The Blue Bistro, perhaps the hottest restaurant on the island. This encounter lands her a job as assistant manager of the restaurant, despite not having any restaurant experience. She’s immediately thrown into a different world, full of people with outsized egos and expectations, and while it's exhausting, she loves every minute of it.
She and Thatcher are immediately drawn to each other, and while Adrienne feels herself surrendering, she also has too many questions. What really is Thatcher’s relationship with Fiona, his business partner and the chef at the restaurant? Why would a restaurant at the top of its game close? And more importantly, should she trust her heart or listen to her head?
This is the third of Elin Hilderbrand’s books I’ve read, and this one was recommended by a few friends. I was hooked instantly and once again, stayed up late to finish it. She definitely knows how to immerse you in her stories!!
I totally want to go to Nantucket and I was drooling over the descriptions of the food at the restaurant. Having waited tables a few times in my life, I’m a big fan of books about chefs and restaurants and the food business. Couple that with a great but dramatic story, and this was another winner for Hilderbrand!!
