ARC REVIEW of The Missing Ingredient by Marika Ray

The Missing IngredientThe Missing Ingredient by Marika Ray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Missing Ingredient by Marika Ray is book 1 in her new series " Reality of Love".
Elle is a older woman who is a bit uptight, bossy and stresses out over way too much. She is a take charge chef who ends up a judge for a cooking show. Austin is the younger, hot stud who is tatted up as the contestant on this show who finds Elle fascinating and wants to rock her world. Theirs is a slow cooker of a romance but when that pot blows, wow, this story is amazing. Normally I am not one who likes the older woman/younger guy reads but this is smart, witty, steamy and sexy. Just a classic example of a good romance. You will love the pace, characters and plot.


My Rating: 4.5 stars ******

 He has the voice  of an angel, the body of a God, and I hate the very ground he walks on. After having her heart broken, Alma Rossi made a vow: no more relationships. All she wants now is a good time with a guy who won’t try to cuddle afterward. She’s content with the new life she’s built for herself, even if all of her friends are starting their own happily ever afters. But when the man she’s tried for years to forget shows up in her town, begging for another chance, he throws her new life off its axis. From the outside, Roan Blackwell has it all: a shining career as a country music superstar, a house that would make anyone green with envy, and more money that he knows what to do with.

He just has to convince Alma he’s worth a second chance. He’s not above playing dirty, and if that...

That was what she’d been told about herself for nearly her entire life. From a young age, she knew what it was like to be hated.

Her sisters and brother have no clue what kind of closet psychopath their father really was, and she’ll die before she ruins their picture-perfect view of him. Why? Because she’s already broken. There’s no fixing this kind of damaged. But there’s no reason everyone else needs to suffer, too. *** From the moment Hannibal Peters laid ey...
