Synopsis
Holly Walker had everything she’d
ever dreamed about – a happy marriage and being mum to beautiful brown-eyed
Emma - until an accident nineteen months ago tore her world apart. Now she's a
widow and single mother to a boisterous little 7-year-old girl, looking for a
new start. Ready to take the next step, Holly has found herself a job as a
maître d’ at Table One, a once-acclaimed restaurant in the heart of Sydney. But
one extremely arrogant Frenchman isn't going to be easy to work with...
Twenty years ago, Pierre LeRoux came to Australia, following the stunning Aussie girl he'd fallen in love with. He and his wife put their personal lives on hold, determined for Pierre to take Sydney's culinary society by storm. Just as his bright star was on the upswing, tragedy claimed the woman he was hopelessly in love with. He had been known as a Master Chef, but since his wife’s death he has become known as Monster Chef.

There's something about the written word that's pure magic.
Possibly it's the fact that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering that they're able to change our lives.
How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?
I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'.
Normal is subjective.
I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.
Until next time

My Review
I can’t say enough about this book. I loved it so much, another fantastic book
Margaret. Pierre is a French chef who was
at the top of his game and then his wife died.
He threw himself into his work but that wasn’t enough. He started his downhill spiral with drinking
and sleeping pills. Holly Walker had it
all. She had a loving husband and a
great daughter. Then he husband was
killed in an accident. Her husband left
her with enough so that she and her daughter wouldn’t have to worry but she
needs to start over now. It has been
almost two years and she is ready. She
gets a job as a maître d at the restaurant where Pierre is the head chef. Pierre doesn’t even give her a chance just
says he doesn’t want her working at the restaurant. The restaurant manager hires her anyway. It’s not Pierre’s restaurant he just works
there. It doesn’t take long for Holly to
realize that Pierre is hurting and they aren’t that different. They have their problems with each
other. Pierre wants his way and Holly
doesn’t back down. They find that they
have things in common. Holly isn’t sure
what it is about Pierre but she finds himself attracted to him despite his
attitude. Pierre is hung up on his
wife. He feels like he let her down and
it is his fault that she died. He talks
to his wife all time at home and finds himself just waiting for death to take
him so they can be together again. That
is until he meets Holly. She brings his
spark of life back before he even realized it.
This story was heart breaking at times.
I even ugly cried at one part.
Both Holly and Pierre are sad and a little broken. They help bring each other back and heal each
other. Holly is worried at times that it
is too soon or that she will hurt her daughter.
She wants to help Pierre come back and be just a great as he once
was. People at work notice the way they
look at each other and act around each other.
Pierre is a passionate French man, he finds himself consumed by his
feelings for Holly and not always communicating as well as he should with
Holly. There were parts that were really
funny, tense parts, of course a little danger.
I love Margaret’s books, looking forward to reading more books by her.
