A charming romantic comedy about a talented chef and the anonymous food critic who nearly destroys her restaurant-only to fall for her in real life-in this delightful enemies-to-lovers love story set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In downtown Milwaukee, Lou works tirelessly to build her beloved yet struggling French restaurant, Luella's, into a success. She balances the pressures of running a small business with wedding plans and a demanding fiancé...until the morning she discovers him in the buff-with an intern. Meanwhile, witty yet gruff British transplant Al keeps himself employed-and entertained-by writing scathing restaurant reviews for the local newspaper under a pseudonym. When an anonymous tip sends him to Luella's on the worst day of Lou's life, he delivers a devastating critique: underdone fish, scorched sauce, distracted service. The fallout could close her doors for good. When Lou and Al later meet by chance in a pub, neither realizes they're on opposite sides of a professional disaster. Sparks fly ...
