Simmer Down by Sarah SmithMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nikki relocates to Maui after her father's death to help her
mother run a food truck serving Filipino food, and has an encounter with
the new (hot, English) food truck owner who parks in her space.
I like the foodie elements and the location, the tension between the characters, but sometimes it's like the author gets sidetracked (random trip to London! Luxury resort!) and adds elements to the story that actually detract from the central romance. I also do not like epilogues especially in romance. Give me my happy ending and walk away!
Still when I needed something to read during election week insomnia, this was a fair distraction.
I had a copy of this from the publisher through NetGalley; it came out October 13, 2020.
