Synopsis
The Way to a Hero’s Heart…
Fiery, workaholic Lily Redman is sure of two things: that she knows good food and that she always gets what she wants. And what she wants more than anything is to make a success of her new American TV show, Celebrity Chef Swap – without the help of her cheating ex-fiancé and producer, Patrick O’Brien. So when she arrives in Cornwall, she’s determined to do just that.
Kenan Rowse is definitely not looking for love. Back from a military stint in Afghanistan and recovering from a messy divorce and an even messier past, the last thing he needs is another complication. So when he lands a temporary job as Luscious Lily’s driver, he’s none too pleased to find that they can’t keep their hands off each other!
But trudging around Cornish farms, knee deep in mud, and meetings with egotistical chefs was never going to be the perfect recipe for love – was it? And Lily could never fall for a man so disinterested in food – could she?

…Lily’s travels are exciting and give the reader a chance to see other parts of England as well as experience the cold, drab weather for which England is so famous. A fun read full of sugar and spice!

…This was a fun read. The hilarity of Americans trying to make their way around the UK never gets old (high heels on cobblestone streets!). The author, Angela, is a Brit who lives in Nashville so it’s something she probably knows about from experience of being English in North America.

This is another winning book by Angela Britnell. Sugar and Spice is fun, sassy and such a pleasure to read. Lily is such a vibrant character in contrast to Kenan’s stoic charm. I loved all the romantic tension, while Kenan tried to maintain his prickly exterior.
Before they even have a start, Kenan’s ex-wife shows up and puts a monkey wrench in the works- then it all gets very complicated on both sides. When there is a will there is a way and somehow Lily and Kenan find their way.
I love to watch the Food Network TV shows and I can envisage “luscious Lily”‘s show. Sugar and Spice is a great treat of a book with gorgeous Cornish men and equally gorgeous locations. If you are looking for a book with the feel good factor, then this is the book for you.
