In short
He has a hungry mind
Bad-boy chef Wes Murphy dreads his final semester cooking class - Food Chemistry 101 - until he meets the new substitute teacher. Dr. Rosemary Wilkins is a feast for the eyes, though her approach to food is strictly academic. So Wes decides to rattle her Bunsen burner by asking for her hands-on advice - on aphrodisiacs...
She’s got love down to a science
Rosemary is a little wary about working with Wes, whose casual flirtations leave her hot under the collar. But once they begin testing the love-enhancing power of chocolate, oysters, and strawberries, it becomes scientifically evident that the brainy science nerd and the boyish chef have some major chemistry together - and it’s delicious...

In words
Overall I liked it, although not as well as the second book in the series. Nice to have a female nerd as the heroine for once. She reminded me of Bones at times. I'm not entirely sure I like the hero that much, although I can't pinpoint it, but they worked as a couple. The secondary romance also picks up again, which I liked. Oh, and there's an adorable pet. All in all a fast and enjoyable read and a great series I will certainly be rereading.
