Getting To Know Caroline James
4/5
Hilary is a media agent, the main character in this book is an interesting character. She is all-business kind of woman. With her can-do attitude, she expects no less from here employees and celebrities (in this case chefs). What others do not know about her is her love life. Though she has buried it all in the past, the feelings suddenly revived when Lenny came into the picture with Long Tom Hendry and her last fling Mickey.
When she spent some time in Ireland to check out what Lenny is all about, she did not know the ingredients of her life is about to be placed in a pot!
Apart from these characters, her other employees and other supporting celebrities in the book makes it all interesting and very realistic. This is my first time reading her book and I would say it is a fun read! Especially if you are into reality shows. ;) Lauren Conrad book fans, you should give this a shot.
Mix together…
A tough-cookie media agent who’s clawed her way to the top, and a con-man who wants to open a cookery school.
Add in a washed-up celebrity chef whose career needs re-building…
Flavour with…
An aging rock star fresh from rehab, and a Sloane Ranger food writer who gets her own TV show…
Bring to the boil:
At a Gourmet Food Festival, in Ireland, where anything goes!
When media agent Hilary Hargreaves travels to Ireland to look at a campaign for a new cookery school, she meets a blast from her past – the romantic but feckless chef Mickey Lloyd, who is hell-bent on resurrecting his flagging career. Her tough demeanour is rocked as it becomes apparent Mickey’s intentions involve more than a stint behind a stove in his quest to pursue her. But as plans for the school gain momentum, she realises that she’s developing more than a passing interest in reformed alcoholic Long Tom Hendry, who owns the crumbling old mansion where the school will be homed. Hilary has many ingredients to juggle with her demanding client list – which looks set to boil over if she doesn’t keep control. From London’s bustling Soho, to Southern Ireland and the sunny shores of the Caribbean, has Hilary got too much on her plate and is she really prepared to risk it all for love?

Getting To Know Caroline James
Caroline James was born in Cheshire and wanted to be a writer from an early age. She trained, however, in the catering trade and worked and travelled both at home and abroad. Caroline has owned and run many related businesses and cookery is a passion alongside her writing, combining the two with her love of the hospitality industry and romantic fiction.
Caroline can generally be found with her nose in a book and her hand in a box of chocolates and when not doing either, she likes to write, climb mountains and contemplate life.
She writes fun, romantic fiction and is a member of the RNA and The Society of Authors. She has had numerous short stories published and writes a regular column for a lifestyle magazine.
Caroline’s debut novel, Coffee, Tea, The Gypsy & Me went straight to #3 on Amazon and was E-book of the Week in The Sun newspaper. Her second book, So You Think You’re A Celebrity… Chef? is published on October 4th 2013 by Thornberry Publishing.
