A Tale of the Curious Cookbook
Boone Walton has tried hard to create some distance between himself and his past. He's invested in his new life, his New Orleans art gallery, and his friendship with Scott Wren. Things finally seem to be settling down to normal, and Boone couldn’t be happier.
Chef Scott Wren wants much more than normal with Boone. He wants to raise things to the next level, but Boone is terrified—and not because of the ghost in Scott’s apartment or Scott’s relatives. No, Boone's past is about to pay him a visit, and the only thing that can get between Boone, Scott, and a hinky recipe for chocolate mousse found in a curious cookbook is the river of pain Boone had to swim across to get to this side of The Big Easy. There’s a secret behind the ingredients, though—one that might reveal the trust and love that have been missing from Boone’s life.

Loved the book, loved the narration!
By Sinfully
4.5 Stars. AUDIO REVIEW.
I have loved every story so far in this series and this one was just the cherry on the cake. No, the cake was not from Granny B - lol! Going by the title then you usually have your dessert last, so i decided to keep this book until last. This one is a beautiful story that deals with unrequited love and how with the intervention of a sneaky dessert from Granny B’s cookbook all dreams come true.
Boone is an interior designer with an art gallery and this is how he meets Scott, a chef and restaurant owner, while Scott is looking around his gallery. the attraction is there immediately but it most definitely isn’t instalove as Boone plays his cards very close to his chest and Scott reads the signals all wrong. I just love these stories that are based on getting the signals and signs all wrong and then getting things sorted which is exactly what Granny B’s chocolate mousse dessert is designed to do.
Scott is looking for the one partner and although he seems to appear to be in and out of relationships it’s really only because of his trusting and loving nature. You could say a little gullible but he is the type of person who always tries to see the good in everyone and then ends up disappointed when things don’t turn out the way he would like. Boone is his exact polar opposite. Reserved, a little cynical and suspicious of anyone’s motives, he is just down for the one night stands for physical relief and no emotional attachment. However, we get the vibes early on that Boone has a past, a past that stops him from forming any kind of relationship on an emotional level has he is afraid of getting hurt.
He has a past and when his past does catch up with him we learn why he has been the way he is. OMG! I was once again reduced to tears. Seriously, what it is with this collection of stories and authors? Anyway, Boone is a man that had a great love but lost it all. This is why he is so afraid of loving again as he doesn’t want that hurt. A man that has had to start over again from nothing and worked hard to build up what he has achieved today. They say it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and this is so true for Boone. So Scott and Boone remain “friends” believing” that they rather have the friendship as to take the next step. As friends they are made for each other, but Boone denies himself that he is in love even though all his friends can see it is as plain as the nose on his face. However, he first needs to put the ghosts of his past at peace. The only thing is he is missing out on any happiness that someone could give him.
So this is where Granny B’s dessert for sorting comes into action. Again I just loved the way that The Curious Cookbook arrives on the scene and works its magic with Boone and Scott. The situation between them seriously need sorting or more’s to the point give them both a wake up call. So dangerous desserts or just desserts, Granny B’s chocolate mousse recipe was exactly what was needed!
So this collection of stories for me represent some of the finest authors in M/M romance and couldn’t have been better. Loved all audiobooks and a great collection to have.
NARRATION
Again Dreamspinner Press have chosen a great selection of narrators for this series and Greg Tremblay was by now mean an exception. His voice felt comfortable on the ears from the very beginning, his voice characterisations perfect and even his Japanese sounded at lest to my ears convincing. Not that I would be able to tell the difference anyway. Will have to leave that assessment to a Japanese native speaker – lol! Why Japanese? Well, you’ll have to listen to the book and find out about Boone’s history. SO all in all loved the books, loved the narrations.

Another feel-good erotic romance from Mary Calmes hits the spot!
By eureka1
Mary Calmes is a go-to author (maybe the go-to author) when I want a satisfying, low-angst M/M romance with a guaranteed HEA. No syrupy sweetness, but a story that pulls me in and won’t let go, even after I reach the end. “Just Desserts” met those requirements perfectly.
As usual, the MCs (Scott Wren, chef extraordinaire and restauranteur; and Boone Walton, art gallery owner and peerless interior designer) are good guys: gorgeous, likable (even by ghosts), and ready to overcome obstacles to be together. And, of course, there’s hot sex!
Favorite concepts: tattoos as memorials; love is magic. Additionally: reconciliation; family.
Favorite quote: “…friends were important because you chose them to take part in your life.”
Mary Calmes’ clear, well-edited romances are a pleasure to read. The flow is not interrupted by writing errors and the timelines are consistent. “Just Desserts” lives up to her usual standards.
Warning--spoilers below:
Aw moment: Magical chocolate mousse aside, Boone and Scott are meant to be together. They’re “already sorted”.
“Just Desserts” has a Japanese connection and explores (a bit) the acceptance of M/M relationships in Japanese culture. (“Blue Days”, a recent Calmes’ novella, also touched on this theme.)
If you liked this story, I recommend anything Calmes. If you’d like another stand-alone novella, try “Steamroller”. The first Calmes’ story I read was “All Kinds of Tied Down” (Five stars worth of fantastic!). I keep hoping for another novel in the Marshals’ series and, of course, another Jory and Sam novella or short story. I read M/M romance from contemporary to historical to fantasy and sci-fi. I recently savored the latest novel in Jordan L. Hawk’s Whyborne & Griffin series. If you like M/M history and fantasy woven together, check out the series, starting with “Widdershins” (beyond five stars).
Questions and Quibbles:
--Why was it easier for Boone to speak English than Japanese? He had moved to Japan with his mother when he was three years old to join his mother’s Japanese yakuza lover. I’d think Boone would speak Japanese and English equally fluently.
--Why does Haru have a church service? Wouldn’t a Yakuza boss likely be Buddhist (whether practicing or not) with a temple service?
--I’d like a little history as to how and where Masuya Fudo met Boone’s mother. The reader guesses she must have been passionately in love with him, but it’s a big step to being the hidden mistress of a crime lord. Quite the lifestyle in which to raise her son.
--It’s a bit odd that Boone would have no clue as to his father’s identity. Was his father such an awful man that his mother wouldn’t reveal his identity? Artificial insemination?

Review by Sandra
By Hearts On Fire Reviews
Mary and I have a tumultuous relationship. I tend to have difficulty relating to her characters and I think her books go on a bit long for me. But I absolutely adored this! I think it's the perfect length Mary Calmes book for me at a little over 100 pages because it really forces her to pare down to the nitty gritty of the story, yet allows room for a full and satisfying friends-to-lovers with an emotional and integral history.
The first half focuses on Boon and his unrequited love for his BFF of 2 years, Scott. It's sweet and a bit sad, because obviously we know Scott would be all for it it Boon would only grow a set and tell Scott how he feels! There is alluding to a lost love of Boon's and a dark past, yet not much is revealed. We get a fabulous meltdown from Scott about halfway through and some super satisfying HFN/HEA business. It could have ended there and been a solid 4 star, but thank goodness Ms. Calmes doesn't take my advice, because the second half is even better!
After Scott's amazing explanation of Boon's unknown-to-him psychosis regarding letting himself love again, and getting the yummy feels, I was a happy camper. But I like seeing the after also. I loved how Scott took control and informed Boon how things were gonna be. I like that it wasn't just the couple in the end, but friends and family and lovers together, because that's what we all want. And I was glad that we got all of Boon's background sorted. That was good closure without being tied-with-a-bow perfect, and that gift had me crying.
I thought that Greg Tremblay did a wonderful job with the narration. He has a very nice and soothing voice, so it is generally enjoyable to listen to. The appropriate emotion was injected when necessary, although Scott's sex voice was very on the breathy side. But he also did an amazing job with the Japanese, or so I thought.
I've listened to several books from this collection, and think that it lends itself very well to audio book, due to both the length and the subject (light, whimsical, and sweet love stories). But this was actually tied with Amy Lane's Food For Thought as my favorite so far. The recipe book played an important role without taking over the story, and I loved the addition of the allusive yet friendly ghost, Florence. The love story was beautiful and complex, and I kind of need a follow up from these guys.
