About This Audiobook

Tawna Fenske serves up a second-chance chefs-in-love rom-com that’s as hot as a cast-iron sear. Lana Carter isn’t just any pastry chef—she’s the relentlessly upbeat owner of a tiny café you can’t help but adore. Jace Duran, on the other hand, is the brooding executive chef every restaurant dreams of hiring… and every kitchen staff dreads. Their paths collide when Lana’s café becomes the target of Jace’s latest expansion plan, forcing them into an uneasy alliance that could either melt hearts or explode egos. Fenske balances sharp banter with swoon-worthy tension, delivering a romance that feels as satisfying as a perfectly tempered chocolate shell: crisp on the outside, rich on the inside.

The real star here is the narration duo of Juno Rhys and Aiden Cho, whose chemistry crackles like a grill at full blast. Rhys infuses Lana’s warmth with just the right edge of mischief, while Cho’s gruff, no-nonsense Jace is so authentically curmudgeonly you’ll half expect him to scold you for enjoying the story too much. Their dynamic elevates the material from clever to compulsive listening, especially during the high-stakes kitchen showdowns and the slower, smoldering moments where silence speaks louder than words.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I’ll admit, I approached *Show Off* with skepticism—yet another grumpy/sunshine trope?—but Fenske’s razor-sharp dialogue and Lana’s refusal to be intimidated by Jace’s grump turned my skepticism into full-blown devotion. The banter is *chef’s kiss*, with Lana’s clever comebacks landing like well-placed garnishes, but it’s Cho’s narration that genuinely sells Jace’s grump. His delivery of lines like “I don’t do sunshine before noon” is so perfectly snide you’ll want to high-five him (and then immediately check his ego at the door). That said, the story stumbles slightly midway when the conflict relies a bit too heavily on contrived misunderstandings—yes, even rom-coms need stakes, but a few too many convenient “oops, I forgot to mention” moments made me roll my eyes. And while Rhys and Cho are fantastic, the audiobook’s production occasionally swallows a few quieter lines in Jace’s monologues, forcing me to rewind more than I’d like. Still, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise delightful listen. By the time Jace finally cracks a smile (metaphorically speaking—Cho still sounds like he’s scowling), you’ll be too busy swooning to care.
