I got The Opposite of You for free when it was on sale and I read it on a whim. WOW! I was delightfully surprised!
The Opposite of You has a heroine who is starting her own food truck parked across a 5-star restaurant featuring a Michelin starred chef! So, YES there is food, LOTS OF FOOD! I live in Los Angeles and food trucks are very popular here and I have tried a bunch of them, so reading about them is the cherry on top!
When I started reading The Opposite of You, I really didn’t know what to expect. But I just want to say that I was hooked! I am such a fan of enemies to lovers romance that I love the spin this book had of this trope.
Vera and Killian are perfect together! I love the banter and the sweetness! I also loved that this is a slow-burn romance because I think Vera needed to grow as a person and get back what she had lost professionally and personally. Killian was also instrumental in her gaining back her confidence, which I absolutely loved.
While I liked the banter and the relationship build-up, I really wish that there were steamy scenes. In this case, there was only one and it wasn’t as steamy as I want it to be.
Vera is a survivor of emotional and mental abuse, there are a couple of short scenes were her ex-boyfriend shows up, and a very short flashback of the abuse. So there is a trigger warning here.
One of the things that stood out for me were the secondary characters! It looks like they have their own books, so I am definitely reading them! I can’t wait to read book 2 because the hero’s name is Ezra (ahem) and the heroine is Vera’s best friend, Molly, who I absolutely loved in this book.
Another thing that I liked about The Opposite of You is Vera and her brother’s relationship with their father. I have this thing about fathers and when that is mentioned in any book, I just love the relationship dynamics – especially if it isn’t a great relationship. In this case, Vera’s dad is amazing!
If you love emotional books with awesome banter, and of course FOOD, I highly recommend reading The Opposite of You.

One of my favorites featuring a food truck is The One You Can’t Forget by Roni Loren.

I FINALLY read The Other Half of the Grave and I am kicking myself for waiting this long to read Bones’ POV! Halfway to the Grave was all in Cat’s POV and I was just so curious on what Bones’ was thinking – because let’s face it, Cat was very immature in Halfway and I couldn’t imagine a master vampire like Bones would put up with her.
The Other Half of the Grave did not disappoint. I love reading the book from Bones’ POV because now we know his thoughts and how he was reacting to Cat’s antics – as frustrating as Cat is! There are also new scenes here because this is Bones’ POV. It gave me another insight into what Bones was thinking.
If you are a fan of the Night Huntress series, then I highly recommend that you read Bones’ POV! If you can read this book alternatively with the OG books in the series, it would even be more immersing.

Yes, yes, and yes! Since both hero and heroine are chefs, there is quite a bit of food mentioned here!
