Story
Ambitious ice queen and corporate lawyer Felicity Simmons has spent her life focused on one thing: scuttling up the career ladder. She's achingly close to taking charge of a media empire for her boss when she's sent to investigate a South Bronx charity that helps homeless people's pets. Has the charity made off with her boss's generous donation? And, who on earth is that gorgeous soft-butch veterinarian who looks as if she could toss a Shetland pony over one shoulder? Not that Felicity has any interest in some opinionated Amazon or her adorable fleabag of a dog.

Story
Georgia Hamilton is an adventurer. After a life spent exploring the most remote places on earth, she's found her way back home to Scotland, where she teaches her expert survival skills. Kelsey Campbell has spent her whole life acting, both personally and professionally, and has had it with the pressure of keeping everyone else happy. Craving somewhere far from the glaring spotlight, she signs up for a two-week team survival course.
Summary
Hal Orion is an accomplished chef and food truck owner. She loves her life, her longtime sous chef and best friend, and the food she shares with the residents of her beloved city of Buffalo. Her life is exactly how she wants it: no strings, no commitments, and no roots - just great grilled cheese and a whole lot of freedom on the side.
Quinn Banning is an investment banker, and the dividend she seeks is a resurgence of the once-great city of Buffalo. Putting together her next business venture, she recognizes Hal's talent and charm as necessary assets for success - her good looks don't hurt, either. But Hal's transient ways are in direct opposition to the stability Quinn craves. Relying on their shared love of Buffalo, Quinn makes Hal an offer she can't refuse - a restaurant under her own name, complete creative control, and secure financial backing. It's every chef's dream. But Hal utters the one word Quinn can't stand to hear: no.
Will their physical attraction grow cold as they argue over their ideals, or will they find that the most distinctive ingredients often make for the perfect pairing? Rachel Spangler is the author of nine lesbian romance novels and novellas, and the winner of two Golden Crown Literary Awards. She pens the popular blog Wonder Boi Writes, and lives with her wife and son in Western New York.

Two sides of review
I loved the story, I related to the MC and it was a good book, even if I can’t eat the food made in this book. I think it is well written, it deals with the foster system which is an important aspect to write about. And it is very optimistic.
The problem is the narration, as the MC the narrator used a lower tone and that was nice, but when telling the story as a narrator she had this higher pitch and it was very difficult to get used to.

I didn’t love it…
The concept was ok, but I’m sorry to say I really didn’t love this one. I like Rachel Spangler stories enough that I purchase her books without a second thought, as I did this one. I think the issue I had was mostly about the audio. I didn’t really like the narration and the audio itself had some quality issues.
I also didn’t really like the MCs. One was childish and immature to the point of eye rolling. The other was cold and aloof and bitchy…to the extent she was unbelievable to me.
There were a lot of fun aspects as well, though. So the adventure part of the story made up a lot of ground for me.
I don’t regret listening to this audiobook at all, but by the end I was happy that it was over.

Perfection takes a lot of work… but it’s worth it
The two very human protagonists go through a lot of growing in this one. Rachel did an outstanding job highlighting feelings and personal soul searching that many of us tend to shy away from, because insecurities are hard work. But the end result was absolutely worth it, both for the characters and the readers. Plus she subtly highlighted the role that a good friend plays in helping sort ourselves out. Ann did a superb job reading, and really drew me into the story as well. I could not stop listening! Now I want a sandwich…. ;).

Perfect pairing shows the rough lives so many live. Hal and Quinn needed to learn to trust. They hurt each other in the process but grew and improved themselves so they realized they were worthy of each other.
