Chad Williams, Inez, and David Lee are the chefs with whom Lei and Gia made the deal with Mondego.
Lei Yeung is Gianna’s boss at Savor, Inc. Allison Rutledge is Jax’s bitch of a cousin-in-law, a real deal-breaker who’s married to Ted, and he’s making a mayoral bid. Parker is his demanding father, although surprisingly, he appears to be a faithful husband. The wealthy Jackson “Jax” Rutledge is his family’s troubleshooter, fixing their problems. Vincent and Nico are her other brothers they and their parents, Giovanni and Mona Rossi, are very involved in the restaurants.
Denise - she’s pregnant and has her own beauty parlor - is married to Gia’s brother, Angelo. Gianna “Gia” Rossi is doing what she loves best: helping people achieve greater than they desired in the cooking world. The love of Gia’s life comes back into her life like a storm, blowing Gia off course, even as he screws her over in every way you can imagine. I guess I shouldn’t complain since the ending does have its own slight twist. I know, I’m being a weaselly hypocrite, except that Day was doing so very well in creating a strong yet honest woman. It’s an interesting and exciting read, and while I love the HEA ending, it also pushes it back into that particular trope. She won’t accept bullshit nor will she suffer fools or bitches. “Well, now you can have your life and me - when I’m in the mood.” She wants someone who will love her, support her. He’s so honest that you begin to see through his self-hatred. And, lol, I like that Jax is so desperate for her that he’s honest. I still like that Gia is working so hard to keep Jax in the only-sleep-with column. I had read afterburn when it first came out and have re-read it here to remind myself. The complete story in this two-parter: afterburn | aftershock with the couple focus on Gia Rossi and Jax Rutledge. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Men Out of Uniform, A Touch of Crimson, A Hunger So Wild, Entwined with You afterburn | aftershock by Sylvia DayĮrotic romance in a Kindle edition that was published by Harlequin on Maand has 400 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from my own shelves in exchange for an honest review.
