About this listen
She’s the local barista, he’s the new chef in town.
Kelsey Rivers has spent her life in the shadow of the Teton Mountains in her small Wyoming town. Between the constant flow of tourists and seasonal workers, she’s used to people not sticking around. What more could she need besides her best friend and fellow barista, her dog, and an unlimited supply of espresso shots?
That is until a tattooed chef, with charming good looks and an even more charming personality, sits down next to her at the local bar. Kelsey can’t remember the last time anyone made her smile, let alone laugh the way he does.
Opening a new restaurant in the trendy Wyoming town was only supposed to be a stopover on Sutton Sterling’s way to more culinary accolades, following in his older brother’s footsteps. From small town Sterling Springs, New Mexico to hotshot chef, who takes nothing seriously except what ends up on his menus, there’s one recipe he can’t figure out.
What did Sutton do wrong two years ago when he met the local girl with the hard-to-earn smile, on his first night in town? No matter how hard he tries, she continues to maintain this one-sided grudge.
A “stolen” car, a landslide, a lot of gelato, two furry sidekicks, and a shared love of reality TV keep bringing these two together. Will they take the hint and finally do something for themselves… SOMETHING SELFISH?
Something Selfish is a spicy small town romance filled with banter, undeniable chemistry, and flashbacks to Kelsey and Sutton’s meet cute. Fall in love with the new chef in town and his local barista, and when things start heating up in the kitchen, cool off with some ice cream.

The way Dakota writes her stories is really something and her spice is soooo good!! All of her characters are so relatable and feel so real. This book is set in the present time but also has flashbacks scattered throughout the book. I love the banter between the MC’s and the witty way Dakota writes them. I also love the way her characters grow and evolve throughout the book.
Sutton is a guy obsessed. OBSESSED, I absolutely love that and seeing how he cares for her was beautiful, I loved every single page!! I already cannot wait for book 2

Kelsey is head strong, self-protective and is trying her best to deal with what life is throwing her way.
Sutton is a caring and career driven chef who is extremely passionate about food and customers experience & happiness.
I thought that it was beautifully written in dual POV's which flows effortlessly from chapter to chapter creating such an enjoyable story packed with desires, inner turmoil and self-protection and self-growth. I loved the plot throughout very gripping and thrilling. The unstoppable developing relationships between Kelsey and Sutton is great to read. The way that they slowly start building trust and better communicating was a great to read.
I immersive read this which is simultaneously reading the book while listening along to its audiobook this enhances my focus, engagement and overall experience as well as increasing my reading speed. I loved the dual narration I think it was brilliant constructed and performed by Vanessa Edwin & Jacob Morgan.
I am so grateful to have discovered and had the opportunity to read three of Dakota's books. I have absolutely loved it and would HIGHLY recommend! I eagerly look forward to reading more from Dakota and continuing to follow her writing career.
Great dual narration and story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
