Penny accepts but she is pregnant and doesn’t tell Cal right away. Penny enjoys seeing Cal need her for something since he was so emotionally unavailable during their marriage. Penny is an up and coming chef and Cal needs her to turn the restaurant around. (As a side note, I had trouble grasping that a family owning four restaurants in Seattle made an empire, but whatever). Now Cal needs Penny because the flagship restaurant of the Buchanan empire is in trouble. She got pregnant, had a miscarriage, and their marriage fell apart after that. One thing that Penny wanted more than anything was to have children but Cal was very unenthused. Ostensibly Penny walked out because she didn’t believe that Cal loved her and Cal never convinced her otherwise. Three years ago, Penny walked out on Cal and he never fought to get her back. (Of course, PW gave it a Starred Review, so what do I know?) However, there was a lot to like in the story and didn’t stall my 6 book Mallery gorging.ĭelicious is a second chance at love story where Cal Buchanan and Penny Jackson, formerly married to each other, reunite, fall in love all over again, and get to take another stab at the elusive HEA. I’m not sure whether knowing the outcome of the story in Delicious affected my enjoyment of it, but I found the chemistry in Delicious to be a bit tepid. Delicious is the second book I read in the Buchanan series. I’ve gone on a bit of a Mallery glom and the readers here will have to suffer along with me.
