When the pickiest eater in America is tapped to judge a cooking competition along with his chef ex-boyfriend, will it be a recipe for a second chance… or disaster?

Luke Walker’s humor about foods he can’t stand made him an internet celebrity and his blog, The Pickiest Eater in America, a huge hit. He plans to bring that same lighthearted comedy to the show—but he won’t be the only host.

Meyer Thibodeaux might be a famous chef, but he’s solemn, uptight, and closeted. He’s also  Luke's ex. As different as they are, the sparks between Luke and Meyer never really went out, and as they work together, each begins to see the other in a new light, and the passion between them reignites, hot as ever. But secrets, gossip, and rumors on the set could sour their reunion.

One kiss under the mistletoe destroyed a friendship. Will another Christmas kiss remake it into something better?

Eli hasn't been home since he left at eighteen with a heart aching from his best friend's rejection and his father's intolerance. But when his father reaches out, Eli figures it's time to make peace with his family. He doesn't expect to come face-to-face with Turner too -- or to learn that the straight friend he'd foolishly loved is actually bisexual -- but once the shock wears off, he knows exactly what he wants for Christmas.

Turner's life isn't everything he'd once planned, but he's happy to be the shoulder his loved ones lean on. They keep him busy, which is just as well since none of his dates have really clicked. He hasn't been able to connect with anyone the way he did with his former best friend. When Eli shows up for the holidays after years away, Turner doesn't know what hit him. But he knows one thing: This time, he wants to give Eli a reason to stay.

Den unge grønlænder Dennis er medlem af Hells Angels. Han bliver dræbt under en politijagt, men får en chance til, som skytsengel for 16-årige Kristina, der vil begå selvmord.

Fra min anden blog Atuaruk / Læs:

I 1997 udkom den i en grønlandsk oversættelse med titlen Motorcykelerluni inngilinngortoq. Jeg valgte at læse den, da jeg gerne vil kende de bøger som står grønlandsk afdelingen. Jeg læser desværre ikke grønlandsk, så må lærer dem at kende ved at læse oversættelser eller som i dette tilfælde læse original udgaven.
Bogen er sikkert i sin tid blevet udvalgt til grønlandsk oversættelse fordi hovedpersonen er grønlænder. Men det, at han er grønlænder, bliver ikke brugt til noget. Det er bare en beskrivelse som at sige, at han havde blå øjne eller lignende. I Motorcykelenglen bliver det, at han er grønlænder, brugt som et udseendemæssigt tillægsord. Det er ikke noget der har betydning for handlingen. Det er nærmest bare nævnt i forbifarten.


Men det betyder ikke, at det er en dårlig bog. Hvis man læser den, forbi man tror, at man vil læse noget om en grønlænder bliver man skuffet, men hvis man bare vil læse en god og let ungdomshistorie er denne bog et godt valg. På forholdsvis få sider og på et meget let sprog får forfatteren fortalt en god historie om et svært emne  uden det føles som om at han går for let hen over det. En fin kort bog som kan anbefales til unge som gerne vil have noget letlæseligt
