A Story by

 
 
Career blahs made me say yes to joining a cooking show. Now I’m stuck partnered with a flashy celebrity chef!

You know what they say? Nobody likes a critic. I’m a food critic, and years of dealing with chefs’ delicate egos have left a sour taste in my mouth. I’m done with being cast as the bad guy.

I thought this cooking show might be a chance to rekindle my love of food–and soften my reputation. They paired me with Chef Max Chandler, hoping our personalities would clash on live TV. They weren't wrong. With the timer ticking, I’m eager to get cooking, but Max is too busy juggling cutlery for his fans.

When Max finally realizes I'm way out of my comfort zone, he shows me a different side of him. And that unbelievable backstage kiss makes it hard for me to focus on finishing this competition.

I reach a boiling point when Max’s ex-girlfriend shows up on set. But I didn’t come on the show to get burned. I came to win.
