THE FLIRT by Layla Hagen (Scarlett and Chad LeBlanc)
ABOUT THE BOOK
Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. Any free time I have I spend with my daughter, Bella — reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old.
But I’m okay with that because she is my whole world.
After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter. Scarlett Jones is unlike any woman I’d ever met. She’s smart and beautiful and I can’t get enough of her.
For more reasons than one, I need to keep my distance. So when I begin flirting… surprising her with beignets and coffee at break time, then king cake after hours, I know I’ve gone too far. And when I join Scarlett on a ridiculous haunted tour of the city, I’m certain I’ve lost my mind. She’s become my addiction. I want to explore those curves, find out her deepest desires—and make them come true.
But it’s when she offers to teach my daughter how to bake, I know I’m in wayyyyy over my head. When the three of us are together, I get a glimpse of the family we could be.
The question is, are we both ready to put our fears behind us?
I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the first book in a brand-new series about a family that lives in New Orleans. Each sibling runs a different part of the family business and this book stars Chad, who runs the family's famous restaurant, LeBlanc & Broussard.
He is a single dad and is divorced and is trying to avoid dating while he concentrates on business and his daughter, Bella who is eight. He and his ex, Sarah, share custody and he gets her during the week and his ex gets her on weekends.
The family consists of six brothers:
Chad
Zachary
Xander
Julian
Anthony
Beckett
From the moment Chad and Scarlett meet each other there is this huge attraction but he is her boss and neither wants a relationship with someone they work with so it's a bit of a forbidden type of relationship.
However, these two can't resist each other and when they start a relationship, no one seems to have a problem with it. I loved how welcoming his entire family was and how awesome a relationship she has with Bella.
I felt that everything was a bit too easy with these two. I loved the couple and even them as individuals. I adored the entire family from the grandparents to little Bella. I even liked his ex a lot. But I felt that they needed more challenges in face of this boss/employee relationship.
I am excited to see who gets a story next and who they get paired up with. I also loved all the pie making and jambalaya. Make sure you have snacks when reading this book. It would be awesome if the author shared a few recipes too. I also loved learning more about New Orleans and its attractions.
