Chef Bastian Aquino is a notorious control freak. For two very long years, Kian Reynolds has worked for Bastian as his special assistant, doing whatever he and his restaurant needs. The toughest part isn't even all the impossible tasks he expects Kian to complete flawlessly-it's the hopeless, endless love he feels for his older boss. Falling for someone so far above him might be agonizing, but at least his feelings aren't unrequited. Bastian fell in love right alongside him, but at the very beginning, they made the choice to abstain for logical, smart, professional reasons. But love isn't logical, it isn't smart, and it definitely isn't professional. It defies containment, even by Bastian. While he watches Bastian struggle with their attraction, Kian finally comes to the conclusion that he's done. He's done standing off to the side, done not getting any of the credit, done letting Bastian define the boundaries of their relationship. Most importantly, he's done waiting. Indulge Me is an 85,000 word contemporary romance, featuring an enormous amount of pining, a boss/employee relationship, an age gap and very delicious risotto. It is the fourth and final book in the Kitchen Gods series, and to receive a fuller, more enjoyable reading experience, I would recommend reading at least one other book in the series first.
