Blurb
Life never tasted so good.
Miller Sykes’s meteoric rise to award-winning chef is the stuff of culinary dreams, but it’s all crashing down around him. He’s been given a diagnosis that could cost him something even more precious than his life: his sense of taste. Rather than risk the very thing that defines him, Miller embarks on a last tour of his favorite meals while he still can.
But there’s a catch: he needs a financial backer to make it happen, and he doesn’t want anyone to know he’s sick.
Dr. Clancy Rhodes has two weeks to come to terms with putting aside oncology to work at his father’s thriving plastic surgery practice. When the opportunity to travel with a Michelin-starred chef presents itself, the foodie in him can’t believe it. It doesn’t hurt that Miller’s rugged good looks are exactly Clancy’s cup of joe.
As Clancy and Miller travel from coast to coast and indulge in everything from dive bars to the most decadent of culinary experiences, they’re suddenly sharing a lot more than delicious meals. Sparks fly as they bond over their love of flavors and the pressures of great expectations. But when Miller’s health takes a turn for the worse, Clancy must convince him he’s more—so much more—than just his taste buds. And that together, they can win a battle that once seemed hopeless.

Review
My Rating - 4 Stars!
Layne Reyne's Dine With Me took a hold of my heart early on and wouldn't let go.
Miller's life is changing, as he's a famous chef who's closing his restaurant. Of course, he has a secret, which he's guarding closely. While he can, he goes off on a food tour with Clancy. They're two strangers who end up getting close while traveling together.
I love the romance, the intrigue, but I don't care much for all the food descriptions. It just isn't my thing and I would have preferred less of the food details.
With Miller's sense of taste at the heart of his situation, it's an interesting aspect which is a new to me read. I'm not schooled in the diagnosis or it's treatment, but I definitely found it interesting.
The character growth in both men is wonderful in this story of choosing to fight, choosing love, and choosing family. It's an amazing tale of not giving up, not giving into negative thoughts.
Dine With Me is truly beautiful in the end. Miller is a fighter and with Clancy, their love can inspire anyone.
