(A Novel in the Delectable Series)

by

E.M. Lynley

Cordon Bleu-trained chef Riley Emerson arrives in Aspen, Colorado for a summer at the best restaurant in town, only to discover his jerk of a boyfriend has dumped him, leaving his heart and his plans in tatters. Doubting himself and longing for a change of pace, he takes a low-paying position at the Rocking Z guest ranch, though he expects nature up close and personal won’t hold a candle to his exciting Paris lifestyle.

When born-and-bred cattle rancher Colby Zane spots a newcomer being pawed at by a passel of horny cowboys at Aspen’s Club Rawhide, he rushes in, throws the guy over his shoulder, and rescues him. Sober, Riley Emerson is sweet and sexy, but not interested in more than a one-night stand. Still, Colby’s over the moon when Riley later arrives as the new cook on his family’s ranch.

But all’s not well at the Rocking Z. Unsurmountable financial problems force them to seek a cash infusion from outside investor Fitz Wellington. Fitz is hot for Colby, and he won’t sign on the dotted line without some very personal incentives. The future of the ranch is at stake, and Colby’s just that desperate, but saving the Z might mean losing Riley.

Excerpt

Riley and Colby have their first actual “date:” a moonlight trail ride and spend the night by a roaring campfire. Colby set everything up and Riley was impressed at how romantic Colby turned out to be.

Riley watched the stars twinkling above them. “I can’t remember the last time I saw so many stars. The city’s too bright. I used to know the names of the constellations when I was a kid. We had a place on an island that was so dark at night I was afraid at first. My dad bought me a telescope so I’d be able to see the stars and know where I was.”

“Did that help?”

Riley inhaled, trying to recall. “Maybe. At least I had something else to think about. That’s my dad for you, into distraction and bait and switch.”

“You don’t get along?”

“I didn’t turn out like he expected.”

“You mean gay?”

Riley glanced toward Colby, then back at the sky. “He doesn’t care about that. He wanted someone to follow in his footsteps, same college, family business, tradition. His world never interested me.” Riley swallowed. He’d sugar coated the situation. “What about your family? Parents, siblings?”

“I’m an only child.” There was something heavy in Colby’s pause before he continued. “Born and raised on this ranch. Haven’t been all that far from home, except when I went away to college. But that was in Fort Collins, a ways north of Denver. Yeah, I guess I am the traditional type.” Colby’s voice got soft and low.

Riley couldn’t imagine staying in one place his whole life. He got bored, needed to try new things, have new adventures. “Your parents got tired of this place?”

“No.” The word was a raspy whisper. “They died when I was seven. They were on—” He stopped. “There was a car accident. I wasn’t with them.”

Sharp pain skewered Riley’s heart. Shit. He’d come across like a real bastard, bad-mouthing his father when Colby didn’t have a dad around anymore. “I’m really sorry to bring that up.”

“It’s okay. I don’t remember much about them anymore. Except my dad showed me the constellations too. We’d do overnight trail rides and….” He stopped talking, voice creaky around the edges.

Riley rolled onto his side and traced a fingertip along Colby’s arm. “Are we staying here overnight?”

“Wouldn’t you rather be back in a nice warm bed?”

“Your nice warm bed.”

Colby nodded. “I forgot about that. Wouldn’t you rather be in my bed?”

“I like how that sounds, but only if you’re there too.” Riley played with strands of Colby’s hair. “It might be warm, but it wouldn’t be as nice as this.” He leaned forward and kissed the corner of Colby’s mouth.

Colby pulled Riley into his arms and they kissed for a while, slow deep kisses that got Riley dizzy again. When they parted, Colby touched a fingertip to one of Riley’s peaked nipples.

“Cold? You’ve got goose bumps too.”

“I think those are from you. I like how you kiss, Colby.”

“I like how you do everything.” Colby wrapped his arms around Riley again.

Review: This is book five in the delectable series but it stood alone perfectly. I will say I want to read the others now just because I liked this so much.

Riley has just finished his training in Paris at the Cordon Bleu school. He is coming to Aspen to be with Denny his boyfriend of two years and work as a pastry chef in a fancy resort for the summer. He arrives a little early to find Denny in bed with another man. Broken hearted he goes to the nearest gay bar, gets wasted and finds himself waking up in the arms of a sexy cowboy.

Colby has brought his aunt into town so she can hire the summer staff for their guest ranch. He goes into Rawhide the gay bar for some relief to see a tourist, drunk off his ass and playing a sex game that Colby is pretty sure the man is too drunk to consent to so he takes the man to his room. When Riley wakes up he and Colby engage in consensual sex and Riley leaves to Colby’s dismay.

When the new hires show up for the ranch, Colby is shocked to see, the new chef is none other than Riley and the man of his dreams.

I absolutely loved this story. Even though it is sort of predictable it kept me involved to the very end. The trial to love is a hilly but very sexy one for Colby and Riley. There is a lot of sex but the most explicit parts are off page. I found their romance breath-taking and hot. I loved the recipes at the end and can’t wait to make some!

If you like fancy chef’s, sexy cowboys, drama, suspense, hard fought relationships, and some hot mansex this is for you and it has recipes at the end!
