Synopsis

No one turns out luscious pies and to-die-for cakes like Marvin Carter. Few outside of the family know about his baking skills, but working as a restaurant line cook is getting old fast. Now he'll do whatever it takes to win start-up money from a major cooking contest and launch his own business. But his prime competition is making things hot for him in-and out-of the kitchen . . . Naomi Carson is as savory as her soul food and has twice the spice. This confident, large-and-in-charge beauty also has high aspirations, and will work all her skills against the tasty Mr. Marvin to take first place-and stop living with Grandma. As their attraction burns hot, the other contestants can't take their heat nor their talent, and threaten to burn their dreams to ash. Will the desire be doused-or can Marvin and Naomi find common ground and fire up the chance of a lifetime?

As I have read and enjoyed previous books by A'zayler Heart of the Hustle didn't interest me. I found the storyline to be predictable from the beginning of the book. The character development was ok, and there wasn't a wow factor with them. The climax of the story was mediocre and short lived. Angel......more

This was the first book that I have read from this author. Even though I found the storyline predictable, I did look forward to finishing the book. I enjoyed the characters and found myself rooting for two main characters, Snow and Angel to get out of the drug dealing life. They had quite a few pred......more
