Melting Into You

Seth Mason's life as a macaroni and cheese food truck owner in Austin, Texas, is pretty good, except for one thing: he'd like to find a man to share that life with. As part of an organization Seth founded, he donates leftovers to the local homeless shelter, and meets Ben, a new employee. He's a preppy guy, and very much not Seth's usual type, but the attraction is strong and not going away.
Ben's just moved to Austin from Connecticut to take a job as a case manager at the Austin City Mission, the first time he's left home and family. But only a short time after he starts work, he meets a man who, though he looks like an extra in a surfing movie, intrigues him. He's hardly seen what life in Austin has to offer, and yet finds he wants to discover that with Seth's help.
The passion burns hot between them--hotter even than Austin in the dog days of summer, and neither man can deny it. As they grow closer, both must decide if they have the necessary ingredients for lasting love, or if the relationship will go up in smoke.
This was a sweet and fluffy read. It was a romance that focussed on the romance and the development of Ben and Seth's relationship without the usual stuff that gets in the way.
Ben's character is so sweet and innocent and his blushes and reaction to Seth bring a smile to your face. Seth's confidence is infectious and rubs off on Ben the more time they spend together.
The idea of having food as a central part of the story is a good one but I would have liked to have seen more foodplay interwoven into the story. Although I was not aware of the number of different types of Mac and Cheese there are, it seemed to be an unusual choice. This lacked a certain amount of hotness that is present in Cassandra Carr's other works. However, a nice, fairly clean love story is needed every now and again.
