It wasn’t the best romance ever, but it was sweet and charming. I’ve been trying to balance out the wheelbarrows of historicals that I’ve been reading lately with some contemporaries, and Susan Mallery’s name popped up on a list of them.The plot is simple: Cal owns a restaurant that’s part of the family chain. He needs a new head chef, and the only one that’s good enough just happens to be his ex-wife. Penny, who divorced Cal when he revealed he didn’t want kids (after a heartbreaking miscarriage, to boot), is pregnant through IVF because she didn’t want to wait for a man. Cal not only has to come to terms with his new hire being pregnant, but he has to acknowledge the mistakes he made during their marriage and how he hurt Penny.Penny is pretty much the best part of Delicious. I love strong female characters, and Penny can hold her own in a male-dominated restaurant kitchen. She’s also smart, sensible, and funny. Unfortunately, she fell for Cal again too quickly, not putting up much resistance after declaring that she was over him. I guess she just has a soft spot where Cal is concerned, even when he’s acting like a total jackass.Delicious wasn’t a memorable or particularly original book, but it was an enjoyable one. The secondary characters, particularly Reid, Cal’s charming baseball player brother, were a great addition. I can definitely see how this book sets up the rest of the series. While I liked reading Delicious, I’m not sure if I would read another Mallery book again, unless the premise really intrigued me. I guess I’m too spoiled by Jennifer Crusie‘s over-the-top, wise-cracking contemporaries to enjoy a milder romance.Check out this review and others on my book blog here: https://ellectricbookreviews.wordpress.com/2015/04/17/review-of-susan-mallerys-delicious-buchanans-book-1/ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Buchanan’s Saga Book 1 *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019* Susan Mallory is a very well known writer, if you haven’t read her books, then you have been missing out! Not many have not read something she’s written, I would wager! I really liked this book! A very mixed up wealthy family, 4 siblings raised by their domineering grandmother! Much more involved than it sounds! You will love it ! It’s another hit for MsMallory !! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great at what she does! *by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2015* Susan Mallery is, simply put, a great classic romance writer. This introduction to the Seattle-based Buchanan Family saga, focusing on the eldest Cal and his tumultuous relationship with his ex Penny, is really well done. It introduces the family so well, clearly outlining each of their personalities without coming across as muddled. Susan lays out the family history, but also focuses on the real heart of the story, which is Cal and Penny. Really interesting scenario, with them being exes, Penny being a chef of renown, hired to save his sinking family restaurant. The twist of her being single and pregnant with her 'sperm-bank' child makes it extra intriguing. Just a splash of sexual spice to keep it lively. A good dose of angst as well, hits all the high points. Gotta read the whole series after this nice intro. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/33315176-delicious-the-buchanans-saga-book-1](https://www.desertcart.it/products/33315176-delicious-the-buchanans-saga-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
