Review of "Keys to Paradise" by Macy Butler

 

REVIEW
Rating: 3.5☆

Delaney is a chef at an exclusive resort in the Keys. This is her first job heading up a kitchen and she is suffering with doubts about her ability to do the job, particularly as the first function is a wedding. When she meets best man, Simon there is definite chemistry between them but she tries to keep a professional distance. from him.

For me, Delaney's self-doubt made her relatable but it did become repetitive over time. Lack of confidence is something that faces most of us at some point so it was good to have those feelings recognised. There was a huge amount of time spent describing the location, scenery and food, which was really good at drawing us into the feel of the place. However, I feel that there should have been more time spent looking at the emotions of the characters and providing more about the reasons for why the characters were feeling the way they were. 

Simon is definitely hard working, confident and determined. He knew he wanted Delaney and he wasn't giving up. He continued to push until it was clear that Delaney's walls were not coming down. I liked Simon. He knew what he wanted and went for it, with Delaney and his daughter. Simon brought balance to Delaney that brought balance to the read.
