About this ebook

I’ve never wished to be seen, until she comes along.

I love my job, sort of. As chef-behind-the-scenes on Home TV’s hit show ‘Decadent Desserts’, I cook up a storm every day. Always off camera. Never getting any of the credit.

Then, tabloid reporter Sarah turns up to interview the star of the show, and I fall immediately. She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and completely out of my league.

What I lack in the looks department, I make up for in cooking prowess. I vow to seduce her the only way I know how.

While I’m not the famous chef she’s here to see, maybe I can become her hero instead. Who doesn’t love a decadent dessert?

This steamy first installment to my Husky Men Do It Better series features an adorable cinnamon roll of a plus-sized hero who thinks he can never get the girl. She disagrees. If you love dad bod heroes who can cook, Recipe for Passion will be exactly to your taste.

Ratings and reviews

This is book one in The Big Boy's Do it Better Series and it is Sarah and Ethan's story and what a great start to a new series. Sarah has been given the opportunity of a lifetime and that is to write a piece on Byron who is a well known chef but he is not what he seems but when she meets Ethan who is Byron's sous chef her heart starts racing and sparks fly between them right from the start. Ethan is not very confident he is also why and quiet but when he meets Sarah he knows that she is the one for him but could she ever feel the same way. I absolutely loved this book and it was a real page turner that you have to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and you are not disappointed with the outcome. Sarah and Ethan are made for each other but will they realise before it is to late. L Moone is a new author to me but I definitely look forward to reading more of her books in the future as it was so well written and definitely worth reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

L. Moone is a Contemporary Romance author based in rainy England. Addicted to caffeine, chocolate and impure thoughts, she loves to write sweet yet spicy romances featuring husky men, curvy heroines and everything in between. In her world, the men are cinnamon roll sweet and the women are fierce and fabulous. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. And the only path toward happiness is the one travelled together.

*** Sweet Heroes, Sexy Books ***

"I first started writing and publishing in 2012 because I craved to see more of "my kind of books" on the shelves. In any scenario, you'll find me rooting for the underdog. The (emotionally) scarred hero who hasn't really had much luck in love and finds himself yearning for that which has so far been out of reach. The shy office worker who is too terrified to approach the big & sexy man of her dreams, until one day she decides to throw caution in the wind. 

Cinnamon roll heroes are a huge part of my brand, so are independent heroines. All my characters are beautifully flawed and messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another. And once they get an intimate taste of the sometimes forbidden fruit, there's no turning back... Expect some drama, a sprinkling of challenging themes, as well as plenty of smexy times along the way, but the rollercoaster always leads to a heartfelt happily ever after!

Find all of the above mentioned themes in the following series I have out: Husky Men Do It Better, Coffee & Curves, and Chance Encounters. All my books can be read as stand-alones, but they'll be a lot more fun to read in series.
