About this listen

From the author of Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors comes another, clever, deeply layered, and heartwarming romantic comedy that follows in the Jane Austen tradition - this time, with a twist on Persuasion.

Chef Ashna Raje desperately needs a new strategy. How else can she save her beloved restaurant and prove to her estranged, overachieving mother that she isn’t a complete screwup? When she’s asked to join the cast of Cooking with the Stars, the latest hit reality show teaming chefs with celebrities, it seems like just the leap of faith she needs to put her restaurant back on the map. She’s a chef, what’s the worst that could happen?

Rico Silva, that’s what.

Being paired with a celebrity who was her first love, the man who ghosted her at the worst possible time in her life, only proves what Ashna has always believed: Leaps of faith are a recipe for disaster.

FIFA-winning soccer star Rico Silva isn't too happy to be paired up with Ashna, either. Losing Ashna years ago almost destroyed him. The only silver lining to this bizarre situation is that he can finally prove to Ashna that he's definitely over her. But when their catastrophic first meeting goes viral, social media becomes obsessed with their chemistry. The competition on the show is fierce...and so is the simmering desire between Ashna and Rico. Every minute they spend together rekindles feelings that pull them toward their disastrous past. Will letting go again be another recipe for heartbreak - or a recipe for persuasion?

In Recipe for Persuasion, Sonali Dev once again takes listeners on an unforgettable adventure in this fresh, fun, and enchanting romantic comedy.

Every book Ms Dev writes is a joy to either read or listen to (listen). There is love, there is passion, there is desire...and there is food! Her plots are well-crafted. We all know in our gut that boy and girl are going to end up together, but Ms. Dev still manages to raise our anxiety and fear levels with plot twists and turns.

I have preferred previous narrators, but this one was not a deal breaker.

I can't wait for the next one!

Another good book!

I really liked this book, but there’s a part nearer to the end where I started to get annoyed with the main character because she couldn’t get past her past. It’s not as good as Pride, Prejudice, & Other Flavors, but it’s good.

I really liked it, but ...

These characters exhausted me with every decision they made. Definitely had some good laughs, but the secrets and deception drove me crazy! Had me on the edge of my seat til the very end.

I loved the warmth and family, emotional depth of this series. The narrator does a great job of distinct voices without being over the top. I want to read everything this author writes.

Beautiful series

I fully enjoyed this book, finishing it in less than two days. The characters are interesting, the family dynamics are just complex enough, and the information from the past comes at a good pace. It is easy to see where the story is going, but it is still an enjoyable ride to get there.

Emjoyable

This book was painful for the first half. The main character’s anxiety & brokenness at the beginning was almost unbearable! Fortunately, the story unfolded in a manner that wasn’t painful.

Pain & pleasure

While I am not a big fan of Jane Austen I do enjoy Sonali Dev's books and this one was so good. As the backgrounds of the characters are revealed we come to understand each one. Soneela Nankani narrated this in an outstanding way.

Loved Listening to it.
