See all formats and editions

I'm cooking up something sexy in my kitchen.

As one of the top chefs in Las Vegas, I've built my Michelin star steakhouse from the ground up.

Now, I want to take my thriving career to the next level, pimping myself out so that Hollywood will come calling. I'm so the best man for that job.

And she's not a man.

She's my rival.

And all she serves in her redneck pescatarian restaurant is fish. I hate fish almost as much as I hate her. If it's not red meat, it's not an entrée.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get my own show on the Food Network. But Pepper St. Claire and my crazy attraction to her puts my dream in jeopardy.

Pepper's just as driven as I am, and she'll stop at nothing to take me down. After I finally make her mine, she does something so terrible, I can't even believe a woman's capable of such treachery.

Oh, she's really started it.

And now...it's on.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles, loves to write hot hockey action with dirty-talking, cinnamon roll heroes, and smart, capable, independent heroines, Colleen's snarky and a 'little bit extra' style will have you experiencing all the feels.

When she's not penning tales readers devour, she indulges in the Starbie’s pinkity drinkity with chocolate cold foam, wrangles her crabby Ragdoll cats, and douses her salads with blue cheese dressing and bacon bits. I mean… she’s firmly anti-diet culture, and everything's better with bacon. With her unique mix of humor, heart and heat, Colleen is the romance author you never knew you needed until now.

She’s not your basic bitch. Okay… maybe just a tiny bit basic. At least during pumpkin spice season.

Colleen creates perfectly imperfect characters you'll root for until the very last page.

Between typing, drinking and cat wrangling, she loves to hear from her readers, and she answers all communications personally. You can find her at:

Pack up your knives… Enguard!

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017

Carter and Pepper… Rival chefs in rival restaurants-- He doesn’t have fish on his menu. She only has fish and seafood on hers…
He works for his brother.
She works for the Devil.

Ah, Pepper. There’s nothing like introducing your brother to your food critics, is there? And in Cody’s unique style, too. Ain’t family grand? But this time it seems you lassoed a great review.

And, Carter… There’s a slinking saboteur in your kitchen. With rats and Roman candles, your entire career could go up in flames. But, in spite of everything, the Michelin critics liked your food. And suddenly, it’s good to be you again.

But Pepper and Carter haven’t met yet… Until they both attend this charity thing… But, why ruin the evening with introductions?
Uh, oh.

Oh! And Carter and Pepper… there’s this little contest you’re invited to… on the Food Network… Choose your weapons. Pack up your knives… Enguard!
Just remember, all is fair is war… And Love.

Aaand-- Here’s Dante! The very Devil himself.
Just remember the Devil’s in the details. And he likes to mess around with lives. Especially the lives of the Caldwell brothers.
I got a feeling this isn’t over.

I enjoyed this book so much! It was fun to visit all the melodrama and competitivenes of the restaurant world (a world I’m familiar with)… I loved Claude!
Bottom line: Michelin would give it a 2 star rating. I give it 5.

Can a pescatarian and a carnivore find common ground?

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017

Tempers flare between two high-class chefs with very different palates in this awesome novel. Pepper and Carter are both great chefs in their own right; she only cooks fish and he strictly cooks with red meats. When they meet it is instant fire crackers! Until they figure out who each other really is. You'll have to read the book to find out how/if they settle their differences. I loved these two and their supporting characters! Such a fun story and steamy romance! And as always watch out for flying lassos, exploding food, and that awful Dante.

Fighting chefs romance

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

These two Las Vegas chefs are fighting over something really basic. One loves only fish dishes and the other loves only meat dishes. To further complicate things they have chemistry and don’t know how to keep from snipping at each other. Unbeknownst to them both the owner of one establishment is determined to ruin the other and they end up blaming each other for things neither did to the other. I love this series and could not put this book down.

Continuing Caldwell hijinks

Pony UP by Colleen Charles. Dante is still up to tricks trying to create havoc with the Caldwells. Brilliantly written plot. Characters are well developed and like "real people". I feel like I'm losing a friend when I finished it. Wonder if anyone else "smells a skunk"? Anxious to start the next book. colleen@colleencharles

In this Caldwell saga Chef Carter Cauldwell runs Steakhouse in his brothers casino. Rival chef Pepper is in charge of the restaurant in the evil Dante’s Mona Lisa casino. A moment of time ruined, the rivalry and the passion. Great read! Love this series. Will they make it?

Sparks fly when rival chef's Carter Caldwell and Pepper St. Clair (aka Raelynn Higginbottom) finally meet! Even though they seem to dislike everything about the other, their chemistry is off the charts...but will it be enough for these rival chefs to get their HEA. Great story and characters! Must read!

Pony Up is a delicious story about Carter Caldwell and Pepper St. Claire, rival Vegas chefs. And phew! Do they ever cook up some spicy fare when they get together! Add in a bumbling sous chef and a ropin' and ridin' cowboy brother and the laughs keep coming. Awesome book, Colleen!

When sea meets land…waves happen!

It has been great getting to know the Caldwell brothers and I have been waiting for Carter's story for what seems like forever!...Pony Up didn’t disappoint!

Colleen really pulls you into the chemistry between Carter and Pepper, they sizzle even when they shouldn’t 😉

Cody, Pepper’s brother, and the Sous Chefs Basil and Claude add the humour I’ve come to expect from one of Colleens books…and there’s lots of it ♥

You can read this book as a standalone, BUT I would absolutely recommend that you catch up on the rest of the Caldwell brothers aswell…well worth a read and reread 😊
