Book Review and Giveaway: The Hungry Heart by Brenda Gayloe

Welcome to our stop on The Hungry Heart Book Blog Tour!

Synopsis: Child advocate Nora Cross doesn't have time for the private cooking lesson her sister won at a charity auction. Hunter Graham, the young chef, is the last person she needs telling her she's forgotten how to have fun. So why can't she get the very hot, very eligible man off her mind?

After a stellar debut in New York City, Hunter's back in Santa Fe to open a new restaurant. He lives a charmed life and he knows it. He isn't interested in a workaholic who's glued to her smart phone. So why is he trying to convince Nora to relax and enjoy life—with him?

When Nora's apartment and office are ransacked, Hunter comes to her rescue, surprised to find himself playing knight-in-shining-armor to the uptight executive. But when it becomes clear Nora is no random target, Hunter realizes he'll do anything to keep her safe.

Review: Talk about a super quick read! I finished it in one sitting, in about 3 hours (I tend to be a little slower when reading ebook, even on my Nexus tablet)! The book is definitely in the 'Harlequinn vein" where girl and guy meet, sparks fly, they avoid each other, get thrown together, fall for each other, something happens, they break up, tragedy hits and bamm, back together, happy ending. Not to say that is bad, just you knew where the book was going. But the author throws in a few twists to keep it interesting and it was a fun read, perfect for a Fall morning by the fire with a cup of coffee! This was my first time reading her books, and I would definitely pick up another one!

About the Author:  

Brenda Gayle has been a writer all her life but returned to her love of writing fiction after more than 20 years in the world of corporate communication—although some might argue there was plenty of opportunity for fiction-writing there, too.  A fan of many genres, she is drawn to contemporary romance and enjoys writing deeply emotional stories with elements of mystery and suspense.  Her first book, Soldier for Love, was a recommended read by a number of reviewers. Her new book, The Hungry Heart, is the first in her Heart's Desire series, which chronicles the difficult road to finding love and family acceptance for the three Graham cousins. Brenda lives in eastern Ontario with her wonderful husband, two fabulous children, two Siberian Huskies, a rescued cat, and assorted aquatic wildlife. Connect with Brenda on her website,  Facebook, or Twitter.
