About this ebook

I wish I didn’t know how one heartbreak can smash your world to bits.

And really I wish I didn’t suspect it’s why there’s an edge to Lana’s sunshine smile.

Hell, I wish I didn’t think of Lana at all.

I’m busy busting ass to be the best—and yeah, grumpiest—chef around.

There’s a reason I keep people at a distance.

My evenings blur with butter and basil and helping my brother.

Trying to forget how he wound up in a wheelchair.

We’ve got our routine, and there’s no room for sweet smiles or blue eyes or…why is it so damn hot in here?

The thing is, Lana spins stories as a PR goddess.

I’m all for icing cookies, but sugarcoating the truth? Never.

Directness is best, even if it means awkward dessert dates that are definitely not dates, and embarrassing chats with my dog.

But one truth I’m terrified to face?

I’m nuts for Lana.

And the fallout could blow up our lives like a mug cake microwaved in a tin cup.

One-click this lighthearted, grumpy-soft-for-sunshine steamy romance about a surly chef and the sunshiny little sister of a big, messy, loving family.

Ratings and reviews

REVIEW: SHOW OFF is the sixth and final instalment in Tawna Fenske’s contemporary, adult JUNIPER RIDGE erotic, romance series. This is chef Dal Yang, and twenty-seven year old, PR director Lana Judson’s story line. SHOW OFF is a story of family and relationships, secrets and lies, acceptance and love. The premise is entertaining and emotional; the romance is suggestive; the characters are dynamic, charismatic and desperate.

This was a delight to read from start to finish. I adored these characters, as I have all the previous couples featured in this quirky community. Lana and Dal are well-matched in every way. She has a passion for food, and potatoes in particular, and he is a creative chef primed to indulge her like no other can. Both are well-crafted with authentic foibles and idiosyncrasies. Tawna Fenske just gets better and better with each new tale.

Every single second of this series has been utter perfection. I loved all of the books but I think Lana’s my favorite. Her and Del were perfect complements. I was hooked from the first page. I loved these two so so so much! The Judsons were such a fun family to follow and I will miss them so much. I hope they pop up throughout other interconnected series since they are too good to let go.
