Faking It in the Kitchen is a bully boss romantic comedy by Emily James. From the start, this book was so much fun to read. I loved the tension between Hannah and Tom as they bantered and argued. They were adorable even when they were angry. Tom wants everyone to think he's this big, bad grizzly bear, and booooy does he act like one sometimes, but he's really a teddy bear. I loved his teddy bear moments.Sometimes you just got glimpses of Teddy Bear Tom, but they'll make you melt. I loved everything about this story. The romance was electric. The characters were lovable. Their story took me right out of real life, and allowed me a bit of an easy escape.. which I my favorite thing about reading stories like this.

Check out my review of another book by this author.

Emily James is a British author from the south coast of England. She enjoys exploring new destinations, adores animals, particularly dogs, and advocates kindness to all animals and humans.

Before turning her hand to writing, Emily worked as a social worker. This enabled her to gain insight into both the human psych and also the injustices facing everyday people.

Emily enjoys complex romance novels since she believes nothing good ever comes easily. She's also fond of the saying that patience is a virtue. Having said this, Emily is not what you might call patient or virtuous! Stubborn and tenacious is perhaps more fitting.

Mistakes of My Past is Emily's debut novel. Her blood, sweat and tears went into this story and she sincerely hopes that you lovely readers out there enjoy reading it!

Emily loves chewing the fat with readers.
