A RECIPE FOR ROMANCE
One snobby food critic who doesn’t believe in love
One down-to-earth food blogger who does
Add a touch of suspicious brother
A heaping serving of best friend who’s been waiting for this to happen
Blend with secret identities, past hurts, and judgments.
Stir in equal portions of desperate longing, desire, fear, and snarky humor.
Set over open flame, step back, and wait for sparks to fly.
Serve as is for an explosive love story that will leave you with a full heart and a ridiculously happy smile at the end.
Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. She believes that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending just around the corner. Her characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy, and that includes love.
She lives in New York City and has way too much black in her wardrobe yet can't stop buying "just one more pair" of black pants. Felice is a happily addicted Bravo and Say Yes to the Dress addict and proud of it. And let's not get started on House Hunters. Her dream day starts out with iced coffee and ends with Prosecco, because...why shouldn't it? You can find her procrastinating on FB in her reader group, Felice's Breakfast Club.

HOSTED BY:
Never Say Never is a different approach to the enemies-to-lovers trope.
All of the enemies-to-lovers novels I've read, the two main characters know each other personally. In Never Say Never, they are internet enemies who eventually meet each other in a way I didn't see coming.
Ms. Stevens did a great job with that part of the story. Well, she did a great job with the entire story, but that particular part is what stuck with me the most.
The way Ms. Stevens portrays Frisco as dark and damaged on the inside is an understatement to say the least. When I read about why he's damaged my reaction was "Holy (expletive deleted)".
With Torre, I think his biggest asset is his integrity and ability to care. We see evidence of his ability to care throughout the story. As far as his integrity goes we see glimpses of it throughout the story, but it really becomes evident towards the end which I feel is a major turning point.
The biggest turning point in the story is the scene where Frisco jumps in to help Mike when the restaurant becomes a major hot spot. What am I talking about? You'll just have to read Nevern Say Never to find out.
I can actually sum everything up in six simple words.
Buy it. Read it. Love it.
Believe me when I say you won't be disappointed.
Definitely 5 out of 5 stars
