Room Service by Jill Shalvis

Just when it looked like TV producer, Emma Harris would be out on the street searching for a new job, her boss give her one final chance, sign Chef Jacob Harris, from the famous Hush Hotel to star in a new cooking show. Em flies to New York to meet the tall handsome chef and before they have a chance to talk, their lips are pressed together. Unfortunately when they do talk, Jacob states that he isn’t interested in becoming a TV star, anymore than he wants to settle down – he’s not into long-term commitments. When she reports to her boss he isn’t interested, she’s ordered to use every available means to persuade him.

I enjoy reading the Do Not Disturb series, and this one is no exception. Jill did an exceptional job with both the story line and the characters. But, unlike most of the other books in this series, this story focuses on the characters and subplots rather than on the red-hot sex I’ve grown to expect from a Hush book. I wonder if it’s possible to have both in the same book?

Bottom line: A very good book
