The series takes place in Portland and they each have some type of foodie career (the guy from the first book owns a coffee cart).<br /><br />I loved the first book - Served Hot - and I like the backdrop and her writing but this couple dynamic didn't work for me. I was hoping for it to be more about Vic and his weight loss/body image issues but it was more about Robin and his former bad relationship. It wasn't bad - more like something I've read dozens of times already.

Vic had lap band surgery so his diet and exercise are touched on but it's more about Robin's relationship issues. <br /><br />Not bad - just something I've read many times before. i was more interested in Vic's issues.
