Synopsis (Goodreads):
She’s a political princess and media darling...Thoughts on Sideways: A lady from a family that basically lives its life in the spotlight and a guy who wants nothing to do with fame or the pressure that comes along with it. On paper, Tracy and Colton are as different as different can be. YET THEY WORK.
There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Yeah, right. Tell that to the PR firm that handles Tracy’s very prominent political family. Pushed by scandal from Boston to the boondocks, now she’s on the other side of the serving tray, dishing up beer and burgers, hoping no one recognizes her. But there’s something very familiar--and maddeningly tempting--about the new caterer at Speakeasy.
He’s a cranky recluse...
Colton was the star of the celebrity chef circuit until he wasn’t anymore. Now he lives in a remote country cabin and spends his time alone, far from the spotlight and liking it that way. Until the gorgeous new waitress at Speakeasy starts poking at his resolve and suddenly all he wants is to see her let down her hair. And spread it all over his pillow. She’s got secrets he knows he won’t like, but he can’t stay away from her.
She lives in the spotlight, and he hates attention. When her public life collides with his private one, can their love write a fairy-tale ending after all?
That said, it wasn't an easy road to Happily Ever After. Colton had retreated to Vermont after an incident at one of this restaurants. He's withdrawn and hurting and he's not interested in stepping into a kitchen again. Which, for a famous chef, says a lot. While he isn't smitten with Tracy immediately (in fact, he's kind of a jerk to her in their first meeting), there is something about her that draws him. And the more time he spends with her, the more he grows to like her.
On Tracy's end, she's hiding out in Vermont for different reasons than Colton, but she's still trying to keep a low profile. Waitressing isn't her strength, but she's great with people and soon even grumpy Colton has stopped giving her the stink eye. In fact, soon he's giving her hot looks and throwing off a little smolder and she's a-okay with that.
A chef finding his passion for cooking again, a lady who has a gift for connecting people, a little steam, a lie or two (for Tracy's safety), and more than a few sparks. *thumbs up*
