S.E.X. Review~ Striking Sparks by Ari McKay

The stakes are high and the heat is on.
Beau Walker, owner of the Barbecue Shack, needs the help of Jake Parnell, his one-time rival and secret crush, in a televised barbecue competition. Beau is a proud man, but the stakes are high, and smart, sexy Jake is his only hope, even if being around Jake reawakens the attraction he’s fought for years.
Jake left his hometown, determined to build a life somewhere his sexuality wouldn’t hurt his family’s restaurant business—and far away from hunky, obstinate Beau Walker. Then his twin, Josh, is killed, and Jake returns to support his brother’s wife and children. Despite his reservations, he agrees to go head-to-head against Beau on national television. Between stress and grief, as well as pride and determination, only one thing is certain—the heat between Beau and Jake extends well beyond the kitchen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet tale by author(s) Ari McKay, Striking Sparks. Both Beau and Jake were lovely men; with personality, drive, and quiet confidence.

Chefs/restaurant owners, the two men appear on a gourmet television show, in the hopes of being crowned bar b que king and bring more business into their respective establishments.

The author’s attempt to make the men appear very different, yet similar worked throughout the story. Each man had his own background and reason for his attitude, yet in the end the joining was extremely satisfying.

Fast paced, this sweet tale was a culinary treat.
