I just finished "Burning Rivalry," and it is another fantastic addition to the Elite Men of Las Vegas series.

It is wonderful how you make the reader connect with your characters, regardless of how rough their personalities may be. I enjoyed the dynamic between Sebastian, who is so set in his ways, and Claudia, with her constant drive for innovation in her recipes. Seeing them navigate their initial friction and obvious attraction while managing a busy kitchen and investigating the sabotage at the new restaurant was truly engaging.

Thank you for another great read!

A perfect blend of sharp banter, tension, and undeniable chemistry that made this impossible to put down.

As always, this was a wonderfully smooth read that I couldn't put down. This was my long weekend read.
I absolutely loved the workplace dynamic and the explosive chemistry between these two fiercely passionate people! Claudia and Sebastian made this such an engaging read with their intense passion, intimacy, and constant power struggles. It was fantastic watching their journey, especially seeing a stubborn man like Sebastian completely unravel because of Claudia and her strong personality.

Burning Rivalry is the second book in the Elite Men of Las Vegas series. In this enemies to lovers story, Sebastian and Claudia are forced to work together. As the winner of a baking show, Claudia is brought into Sebastian’s restaurant to help boost its image.

From the start, their relationship was so frosty. He resents the changes she wants to make to his desserts, and she can’t understand why he wants to keep to his traditional formula.

They fight their attraction to one another, but gradually their feelings and passion grow.

Mixed in with the love story is some drama as they work to find out who is sabotaging Sebastian’s new restaurant development.

This was a quick and easy read. I loved seeing Sebastian and Claudia work through their issues and find each other. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Missy has the ability to make you fall in love with every character we meet within these storylines, even the bad ass characters!!
Claudia and Sebastian of course have this connection that neither expected. I get the feeling that Sebastian nearly thinks Claudia is entitled because of her success which essentially makes him look like he is already better than her. So its safe to say this enemies to lovers romance kicked off from the get go and once again I was hooked. The workplace romance vibes just added to the tension building throughout this storyline. You will not be disappointed. My only disappointment is when the book is finished and the realisation of having to wait for the next!!!

I loved this classic enemies to lovers story with sizzling tension throughout. Made so much sweeter knowing Missy drew from personal family experience for the background setting. As usual for Missy’s books, difficult to put down and read within 24 hours (working slowed me down otherwise would have been straight through😊)

Burning Rivalry

I absolutely loved Burning Rivalry! The setting was a refreshing change from the usual romance novels, taking place in a bustling kitchen environment filled with creativity, pressure, and ambition. The story follows a talented pastry chef who gains recognition after winning a prestigious competition, only to find herself working under a demanding new boss. From their very first interaction, the tension between them is undeniable, and the chemistry continues to build throughout the story, keeping me completely hooked.

Missy Walker does a fantastic job of balancing romance, rivalry, and personal growth, creating characters that are easy to invest in. The witty banter, emotional moments, and slow-burning attraction made it impossible to put the book down. Every chapter left me wanting more, and I found myself eager to see how their relationship would unfold.

Another fantastic read from Missy Walker, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys workplace romance with plenty of sparks. I’m already looking forward to seeing what she writes next!

Yet another Missy Walker book I devoured in a few hours! She is the queen of quick read, romantic slow burns with lovable characters and combustable spice that keeps you turning the page way past your bedtime!

Both Claudia and Sebastian grab you from the first pages. Their witty banter and undeniable chemistry have you rooting for them from the start. Who wouldn't want a work place romance with a gorgeous Chef/Restaurateur who has a true passion for his family, loyalty to those he loves, a penchant for public naughtiness and a dirty mouth to back it up!!

Elite Men of Las Vegas is a Highly Satisfying series with Book 2 Burning Rivalry, keeping the fires stoked 🔥 I cannot wait for the rest of the series!

I enjoyed reading Claudia and Sebastian’s story, book 2 in the Elite Men of Las Vegas series I read this book straight through in a few hours, it gave tension, chemistry & well written spicy scenes. Can’t wait for next book in series.

Loooooved all 6 books!!! So excited to read about the kids!! Elite heirs!!

Missy you did it again!! I can't get enough of your writing. This story was as sweet as pie.. love the chemistry.Story line was easy and i didn't want to put it down. Can't wait till the next one. Highly recommend this series as well as all the rest of her series. Keep them coming...

***Possible Spoilers***

For some reason Sebastian annoyed me in his own story more than he did as a 'side character' in the other books, although we do find out why he is so set in his beliefs, and it's a bit of a panty melter :P I really felt sorry for Claudia, and having our own cooking show series in Australia really helped me envision what that life may have been like for her, which I really liked!

Really at this stage, we can't expect anything less from Missy. Once again, she's hit the nail on the head with a haters to lovers romance filled with angst, passion, and cheekiness!

In this story, we meet Claudia and Sebastian. Claudia is the winner of a celebrity cooking competition who is trying to find her place in the restaurant world. Sebastian brings her on as his new baker, but the two quickly find themselves at odds. Claudia wants to introduce fresh, innovative ideas, while Sebastian is determined to keep things running the way they always have.

Their professional disagreements lead to plenty of tension, and the sparks fly as their power struggle turns into something neither of them expected. As they spend more time together, they discover that there may be more between them than just workplace conflict.

This was a fun, engaging read with great chemistry between the characters. Fans of workplace romance and enemies-to-lovers dynamics will enjoy watching Claudia and Sebastian navigate their differences while finding their way to each other.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.. Work place romance at its best.. Claudia looking for a fresh start after winning a baking competition goes to work for Sebastian in his Restaurant, he’s grumpy, bossy, set in his ways and the two of them argue about everything
You can relate easily with Claudia and you can feel every emotion she does The chemistry is rolling off between Sebastian and Claudia right from the start with the tension, the struggles in the kitchen and the resistance of being together
Then watching and waiting for them to get together, the will they won’t they, had you right there with them, then add the spice into the mix of a slow burn enemies to lovers story and you have a fabulous read!!

Sebastian is an arrogant, confident Chef and restaurant owner who needs a new brand after some negative publicity. Claudia is everything he doesn’t want and exactly what he needs.
They are simply perfect for each other!!
I was lucky enough to snag a ARC copy of Burning Rivalry and I loved everything about this book. The main characters are written well and their chemistry is off the charts.
One chapter in and I knew I would be up all night. This was a page turner and their story had me hooked.
Loved that this story had all the feels. Enemies to lovers, work romance, off the chart chemistry, the connection they had felt so real, family and tradition is so important as is loyalty. I hope we see this couple again in this series.
Yes this book was that good.
Book 2 of Elite Men of Las Vegas does not disappoint!!
Bravo Missy Walker, you’ve done it again.
(why am I not surprised)
