Chefs and their egos…

It never ceases to surprise me the lengths Chefs will go to keep control.

When I came to Seaside, Oregon to save "Blissful Craves", I never expected to butt heads with the head chef, Oliver Hastings. He's aggravating, short-tempered and has vowed to make my life miserable.

But I've never been known to back down from a good challenge.

With the Seaside Festival on the horizon and a restaurant to revamp, what could possibly go wrong?

Taste of Summer is a steamy, opposites attract love story, including a mega grump and his unexpected sunshine. Hot pans won't be the only thing sizzling during this banter-filled, grumpy sunshine romance.

Taste of Summer is a stand alone story that is part of the Summers in Seaside Series.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 is back! Seaside is a small town located along the Oregon Coast and home of the Seaside Festival. The series returns in July with 14 new stand alone stories guaranteed to be filled with sun, sand and summer adventures that will tug at your heartstrings.

Cata Ree is a woman with an adventurous, bold spirit and love of life and laughter. A self-described “nerdy-jock”, She once grabbed the shoulders of a Flames hockey jersey-wearing stranger in a bar and yelled “I swear this team can’t score for the life of them!” She must have made a big impression because he found her later and asked to buy her a beer. Now, many years later, that stranger turned husband and her have three kiddos and are still going strong.

Having left her home in Turkey at 17, Cata first made her way to the United States to finish high school, thanks to a scholarship, then went north to Canada for university. Settling in the small town of Cochrane, on the outskirts of Calgary, Alberta, she still enjoys her sports —both playing and watching. After all, those bat-swinging, hockey stick-wielding, ball-throwing hotties provide lots of inspiration for the heroes in her stories.

Having once been a book blogger for years, getting to know lots of other bloggers and authors along the way, plus her love of the romance genre, inspired her to make the leap into writing her own books.

Cata Ree has previously published under the name E. K. Woodcock, but is now in the process of revamping those books and publishing them under the Cata Ree name.
