You are cordially invited to the wedding of the decade, when Christian Grey will make Anastasia Steele his wife. But is he really husband material? His dad is unsure, his brother wants to organize one helluva bachelor party, and his fiancée won’t vow to obey… Their passion for each other burns hotter than ever, but Ana’s defiant spirit continues to stir Christian’s darkest fears and tests his need for control. As old rivalries and resentments endanger them both, one misjudgment threatens to tear them apart. Can Christian overcome his childhood nightmares, and save himself? Can Christian finally be freed? A little while later, a man in a suit who introduced himself as the manager, came to our table and explained that apparently our waitress had broken up with the chef that morning and he was really angry about it. He was fired and she was given the rest of the night off, and we were comped for our meal. I hadn’t thought of that incident in decades, but for some reason it came back to me as I sat down to write this post. It was the first time I remember being consciously aware of workplace romances. (Even if that one didn’t end well. That poor waitress.) Maybe that’s why I have always especially loved romance in books that happens around food. Food is a love language, and it goes great with romance. (But do you serve it with a red or white wine?) So here are ten great romantic books about food. The ovens aren’t the only thing heating up in these books. Bon appétit!
