A DASH OF SALT AND PEPPER Blog Tour
Are you hungry for a new queer romance? This December, take a bite out of the next novel by Kosoko Jackson, author of I’m So (Not) Over You. A DASH OF SALT AND PEPPER (Berkley Trade Paperback Original; December 6, 2022) is a swoony m/m romance for foodies and hopeless romantics alike. In it, a down on his luck chef returns to his small-town home in Maine to become a sous chef at a hip new restaurant. There, he tries to rebuild his life… and meets the hot, single-father chef of his dreams.
Jackson is skilled at writing laugh-out-loud romantic comedies about Black men falling in love. His debut novel was loved by many, and his next novel is sure to whet your appetite for foodie gay romances. A DASH OF SALT AND PEPPER is chock full of tasty tropes like enemies-to-lovers, older single dad, and workplace romance. It’s the kind of book you’ll devour.
A DASH OF SALT AND PEPPER by Kosoko Jackson.
Sometimes two cooks in the kitchen are better than one in this swoony romantic comedy from the author of I’m So (Not) Over You.
Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He just got dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and to top it all off he’s right back home in Harper’s Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is to work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can’t delegate to save his life.
Logan O’Hare doesn’t understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him—he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn’t have many options besides Xavier.
Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they’ll have to decide if they can make their relationship work or if life has seasoned them too differently.
