    About this audiobook

    A 2024 Lambda Literary Award Finalist

    One of the 50 Best Romance Novels to Read Right Now by Time

    “Urgent and intimate.” —The New York Times Book Review

    A fake dating arrangement turns to real love in this deliciously delightful queer rom-com from the author of the sweetly satisfying Chef’s Kiss.

    When Luna O’Shea is unceremoniously fired from her frustrating office job, she tries to count her blessings: she’s a proud trans woman who has plenty of friends, a wonderful roommate, and a good life in New York City. But blessings don’t pay the bills.

    Enter Jean-Pierre, a laissez-faire trans man and the heir to a huge culinary empire—which he’ll only inherit if he can jump through all the hoops his celebrity chef grandfather has placed in his path. First hoop: he needs a girlfriend, a role that Luna is happy to play…for the right price. She’s got rent to pay, after all! Second hoop: they both need to learn how to cook a series of elaborate, world-renowned family recipes to prove that Jean-Pierre is a worthy heir. Admittedly, Luna doesn’t even know how to crack an egg, but she’s not going to let that—or any pesky feelings for Jean-Pierre—stop her.

    Another swoon-worthy and heartwarming queer love story from a charming new voice in romance.

      Five years ago, if you had told me my sapphic romcom, Sorry, Bro, would be released on the same day as another sapphic romcom (Behind The Scenes, by the lovely Karelia Stetz-Waters) I would have laughed in your face. Me? A published author? Forget it

      This was a cute little romance. The narration was improved by increasing the speed to 1.2 x. I would read more books by this author.
    • 2/5
      I can’t lie I couldn’t with the narrator. I will read the hard copy because I’ve heard it’s a good story.
    • 4/5
      I listened to the audiobook version of Chef’s Choice. It was light and sweet and laugh-out-loud funny, full of classic tropes. (Enemies to lovers! Fake dating! Only one bed!) Both main characters are trans, and I enjoyed their modern romance so much. Nicky Andres’s narration was full of life and added so much to the story.
    • 5/5
      This T4T rom com was well-written, charming, and funny. TJ Alexander does it again!
