Publisher's summary

After discovering that her famous chef husband was cheating, Frankie Bennett lost her mind - on live TV. Now Frankie is broke, unemployed, and hiding out in her aunt's retirement village. That is, until Maxine Henderson-Barker - reformed trophy wife and owner of Trophy Jobs Inc. employment agency - arrives to give Frankie a much needed kick in the pants.

Soon, Frankie lands a job as a prep chef at a Greek diner in New Jersey, home to the world's best meatloaf and an owner who resembles an exquisitely chiseled Greek statue. Falling into bed with Nikos isn't the best idea, but after years of living in a man's shadow, this ex-trophy wife is ready to get busy cooking.

Contains mature themes.

Cute story

As I get older, I don’t want to hear sex scenes. I like when it is implied but not in detail. Other than that I like the story.

Fairly decent story

I generally find great joy and humor in Dakota's stories. Not so much in this one. I did not "love" the story and I was rarely amused.
The narration was okay. However, the inflection was all over the place and I feel like had it been read differently it may have been absorbed better. As a result, parts of it were so boring, if I were asked, I couldn't explain what happened at all. I just do not remember large chunks of it. I was also thrown when the narrator went from portraying the main character with a northern accent to New Jersey style. It fit, but it was just a jarring switch. Loved all the other accents, though.
Overall, it was a decent story and narration.
