Torn between two worlds, can their love survive the season?
Chef's Kiss at the Chalet is a deliciously cosy, festive, small-town romance, for fans of Chalet Girl, Laurie Gilmore and Hannah Grace.
When Eleanor Evans lands a spot at London’s most prestigious culinary school, her dreams finally feel within reach. Desperate to scrape together the cash for her tuition, she accepts a last-minute agency position as a chalet girl, which whisks her away to Maplewood Creek, a quaint, snow-kissed town nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Hired by the affluent Hawthorne family, Elle finds herself in a world of wealth, luxury and big egos, far removed from her humdrum everyday life. As she navigates the challenges of her new job, mastering gourmet dishes and catering to the whims of her discerning employers, she realizes there’s something she hadn't accounted for: Charles Hawthorne, the family’s charming and undeniably sexy eldest son.
Charles soon becomes an unexpected distraction for Elle – she can't deny the sizzling chemistry between them. But, with Elle’s career aspirations hanging in the balance and Charles's carefree lifestyle and family expectations putting a strain on their blossoming relationship, can this unlikely duo survive the season?

Eleanor Evans is on the cusp of having everything she has ever wanted, but there is just one little problem... she doesn't have the money she needs to take that step closer to her dream. She's been accepted to culinary school, now she just needs a way to pay for it and a sleepy little town in Colorado town is about to help her take that step... and one step closer to something unexpected too!
The pages of Chef's Kiss at the Chalet hold a wonderfully penned holiday themed romance that is destined to give you all the holiday feels! As we meet our heroine we learn that she has just been accepted to the culinary school of her dreams, but those dreams of her cost big bucks, bucks she doesn't have, but one little last minute job is about to change that.
Working for the prestigious Hawthorne Family is an honor, but it comes with many challenges she didn't anticipate... especially the very handsome Charles Hawthorne. He's a distraction she can't afford, but for some reason she seems to keep forgetting that fact. Every time he is near her heart departs her and wants to follow him to the ends of the earth... and farther away from her dream. It's an impossible situation she finds herself in, which one will she choose?
I really enjoyed this first time read, it had everything I love in a holiday romance and a few unexpected bits too. I loved watching Eleanor chase her dreams and try to reason with her head and heart when it came to Charles... the indecision was torturous at times! Highly recommend this one, it's the perfect holiday escape!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
