Gather Food For Love Conceived By Rachel Lindsay Readable In Version

toas it is currently rated much lower, Karla has a great review on this book! However, Naksed also gives a very compelling review with astar rating that is enjoyable to read.


This will not go down as one of the great harlequin romances, because quite frankly there wasnt a lot of time spent with the hero and heroine.
Im sitting here trying to figure out why I liked the book so much,

Maybe its the not one but the two ginger headed leads, As a faux ginger myself, I like seeing the coupling ofgingers, Think of the beautiful red headed babies!

Maybe I liked it because the OM got so much page time.
. . I mean he was predominantly featured, I was confused for my own feelings on the OM Clive, He was in love with the h, he did wonderful things for her, yet based on some of the comments I wondered if he would be there in sickness.
. . they made a big deal of him liking pretty things, What if something happened to taint her prettiness Also, when babies were mentioned it was kind of like.
. . well if the h wants them he would give them to her, . . but I dont think he had a burning desire for them, If the h did have babies , I wonder if Clive would give her a Peloton as a gift for a new mother.
. . hint hint He, was almost, had a bad first marriage,but basically told the h he was relieved that she was untouched.
. . hes not into sloppy secondsok he wasnt that crass, but Im bringing the vernacular up to the new century Sometimes he showed humor.
And passion kindness to her mom he wasnt cruel, and I believe him when he said if h ever changed mind he would gladly welcome her.
He fell in love with h at first sight,

The Hero, Red,He reminded me of some relatives I have, . . in that he seemed to have a mischievous glint in his eyes and a good sense of humor.
I think he will be able to keep the h laughing, I think he will appreciate her smarts and independence, I see them as not only being sexually compatible, but compatible in many ways, There are some couples you meet, and you can tell they compliment each other like pb and j.
Unfortunately he really doesnt have a lot of page time, One needs to read between the lines for the missing paragraphs, He fell in love with h at first sight,

HeroineAmanda She has wealthy attractive men falling in love with her at first sight, She can rock an Indian Sari such a beautiful garment, makes me jellyAt times she bothered me.
She really was confused over the om, but she knew she didnt love him, I just felt she kept that going on way too longbasically the whole book minus the lastpages The hero admitted he loved her about/of the way in the book.
. . she told him she loved him too but didnt confront him on what she thought he was guilty of.
Just tell him what you saw already instead of giving him cryptic little messages that confused him.
Then you paint yourself as a gold digger to boot, I realize she did this to get over her love for him but,

They say food is the way to a mans heart, but the men in this book decided to get to the womans heart by treating her mother like a queen.
Both men were very good to her mum!

Vintage harlequin so the end is fairly quick.
No epilogue. No embracing the magical bedroom romp til after marriage at least for heroine

I recommend this book with reservations.
My high rating would indicate that this was a lovely, wonderful angst fest with all the feels and yet it isnt.
I just found it an interesting read and the vintage ness of it is all very kitschy to me.


One last random note, . . the book cover is there an updated one I mean never was she lying in the bed as a brunette with a brunette hero.
. . the other cover has them at a carmakes sense, lots of car scenes but definitely brunettes! I will always remember this one for the setting of the cutthroat, ruthless, glamorous world of fashion design, cattle ranch empires, racecar tracks, tropical plantations, international war reporting the supermarket business.
And not just your local village grocer, We are talking about "hypermarkets" spreading their tentacles over the once quaint countryside with increasingly larger, impersonal, fluorescentlighted gigantic warehouses filled with a dizzying array of foods, all at rock bottom prices.
Yup. Think the CEO of WalMart and the CEO of Costco fighting over the luscious peach that the heroine is.
I know, I know, you need to fan yourself from all the hot sexiness that image conjures up.
LoL

The heroine is a wishywashy idiot who needs lessons from savvier HP protagonists on how to follow a revenge plan to fruition.
At the beginning of the story, She is all set to avenge her father, a small mom and pop village grocer who she believes was driven to his death due to the grossly unfair tactics of big supermarket chains.
She thinks if you can't beat then, join them so she joins the typing pool of one of those conglomerates.
She wants to arm herself with inside information before she attempts to take down these soulless corporations and at first, she seemed so intelligent and driven, that I got excited.


Unfortunately, she shows up to the company party in her landlady's sari, making a deep impression with the millionaire CEO of her company, and he promptly falls in love with her and asks her to marry.
Uh oh, I thought, is she going to enter a marriage of convenience and then sabotage both the husband and his company in her quest for revenge Still very interested at that point in how it was all going to work out.


Incredibly, her wouldbe fiance sacks her because he doesn't believe in shitting where he eats somewhat of a relief given the nature of the business he's in and probably wants to influence her into giving in to his marriage proposal.
Our feisty heroine is understandably annoyed, She is not sure at all that this possessive, aloof millionaire is the right husband for her and decides she wants to hold on a little longer to her independence so she gets a job at a rival Supermarket corporation.


So far, so good, However, when it all went down to the dumps for me was when she forgot all about her plan to avenge daddy and take down the big bad Goliaths on behalf of the little guy.
Instead, she gets embroiled in a love triangle between the wouldbe fiance and a guy who she believes is a mere employee of her new company.
And her big dilemma is whether she will engage in a bit of corporate spying of one company to benefit another.
What the hell Focus, focus girl!

Unfortunately,the book starts hopelessly derailing and the heroine's intelligence and wherewithal are sapped along with the plot.
It is painfully clear to pretty much everyone on earth that the guy she is seeing on the sly is actually Undercover Boss, but all she sees is a double dealing weasel who on top of it all, acts REAL shady with her, not even giving her his address or phone number, and showing up out of the blue to take her dinner after ignoring her for days on end.


The wouldbe fiance on the other hand is crawling on his hands and knees to give her the world and gratefully laps up the little crumbs of affection she bestows on him when she is driven by guilt and gratitude.


So of course she falls for the weasel! Of course!

He pays back that devotion by dangling his blonde bimbo girlfriend at her and calling her everything from a gold digging slut to a dumb corporate spy.
To be fair, she totally led him to believe that about her, for convoluted reasons that are too tedious to get into.


The end is an abrupt HE A where he decides to have faith in her, you know, just because, and they both decide to forget about their mutual doubledealings and dishonesty.
Oh and his company is only getting bigger and better, with absolutely no plan to put on the brakes on its inexorable march to crush every single shopkeeper in its path.
Great revenge!

Also, what's with the title Where was all the food porn the title implied Early on, the heroine has ambitions to become a buyer for her company and I was expecting her to fly to all these exotic locales and sample fares to be introduced to the consumer but the only time she was asked to sample anything, it was tinned sausages! Barf! So much for the Food for Love.
. . Nowadays we all take supermarkets for granted but how many of us give a thought to the small shopkeeper, gradually being forced out of business by the huge business combines That was what happened

to Amanda Stewart's father, and it was therefore only with bitterness in her heart that she had taken the job at Brand's chain of supermarkets who knew, she might get a chance of revenge!

But something rather different happened: her new boss, Clive Brand himself, began to take such a marked interest in her that they both decided it might be more politic if she changed her job.
So Amanda went to work for Brand's biggest rival, Homefare and found herself coping with yet another problem, in the person of that mysterious, maddening man, Red Clark! This book reminded me of the big Grocery store chains now days.
Pretty interesting how some things never change, The story kept me interested all the way through, Not about food. huh Rachel Lindsay is the pen name of an author who also published as sitelink Roberta Leigh, sitelink Janey Scott, and sitelink Rozella Lake.
