I really liked this book! The characters were very colorful and the premise was well thought out. Ollie Paras is a chef in the White House and is in line to become the first female Executive Chef in history. But when she gets caught up as an intruder and possible assassin gets onto the White House property just as she is coming in, and ends up being the only one able to stop him...with a frying pan, her chances start to look dim. And when an assassin marks Ollie as well, her promotion is the least of her worries.
There was intrigue and mystery, a little romance, and lost of yummy sounding food.
The recipes sound wonderful and I liked the inside peek at the domestic side of White House life.
I'm looking forward to reading the author's next book!
