James LaChance, owner and chef of Les Fleurs, isn’t fooled by Amy’s pretense—not for an instant. He knows she’s no waitress, but he doesn’t care. Amy has something James wants. Or, rather, Amy can give James something he wants more than love, more than sex, more than money, more than anything: a coveted third star for his restaurant, as rated by the exclusive Le Guide des Restaurants. All of James’ recipes are inspired by women. Most have been good for at least a soup or a salad. A rare few have inspired entrees. Amy, James is certain, can inspire an entire menu—if he can find a way to keep her around long enough to get the job done.

Hungry for More is the third book in Diana Holquist’s Burns Sisters Trilogy. In the first two books, Amy appeared as a minor character, the gypsy-psychic / con-artist who helps her sisters find love. Now, it’s her turn to take the heat. The kitchen camaraderie is fun to observe, Amy and James have definite chemistry, and the course of true love has rarely been more delicious. We’re finally shown the kinder, gentler side of Amy’s nature as she, and several other characters, grapple with issues of love, loyalty, trust and self-worth, making for a delightful, surprisingly poignant story, one I enjoyed very much.

My only complaint was the  preponderance of negative gypsy stereotypes and I couldn't help wondering how actual Roma would react to such portrayals.
