"Maria Pagliano has her 10-year high school reunion coming up, and she's sworn off both carbs and men until she can fit into her new sexy dress. Enter temptation on a platter - Dante Del Rosso, the handsome chef who is more delectable than linguini and whose objective is to get Maria to throw away every resolution. Whose determination will prove stronger?

"... Finally we have the new Shirley Jump, (Zebra). Maria Pagliano is ready to change herself. Her high school reunion is coming up, and she's going to lose some weight before she goesafter all, former football captain Antonio Lombardi will be there, and she'd rather he was interested in her than one of her classmates. Dante Del Rosso's restaurant serves some delicious foods, though they're not on the diet plan. Maria is fun, a bit neurotic, Dante is one sexy chef, and the diet group is hilarious. Just what I needed to read after that last book. I'm giving this one three and a half arrows.

Until next time, happy reading!"
