LOVE FROM SCRATCH
by Kaitlin Hill, for Penguin Audio
Rival interns with sizzling chemistry in and out of the kitchen? That’s a recipe for love.This summer, Reese Camden is trading sweet tea and Southern hospitality for cold brew and crisp coastal air. She's landed her dream marketing internship at Friends of Flavor, a wildly popular cooking channel in Seattle. The only problem? Benny Beneventi, the relentlessly charming, backwards-baseball-cap-wearing culinary intern—and her main competition for the fall job.
This was adorable! Benny is the sweetest hero I’ve read about in a while. It was almost a 10 hour audiobook but it flew by - such an easy and sweet listen.
