SEPTEMBER BOOK PAIRING: Bold Stories, Bold Flavors

As the nights grow cooler and the air turns crisp, September calls for stories that stir the soul — and meals that warm it. This month, AGR Bookclub is pairing a page-turner full of passion, tension, and unforgettable choices with a menu that’s just as bold.

📖 Book of the Month: You Could Do Damage by K.C. Mills
USA Today bestselling author K.C. Mills delivers a romance that’s equal parts fiery and vulnerable, where love and heartbreak linger like the taste of something rich and unexpected. It’s a story that asks: how do you move forward when the past still leaves marks? And more importantly, who’s truly worth the risk?

This book is sharp, emotional, and layered with drama — making it the perfect companion to a culinary pairing that hits all the same notes.

🍴 On the Menu: Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta + Red Wine Spritzer
To match Mills’ fiery storytelling, we’re dishing up Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta — spicy, hearty, and unapologetically flavorful. Just when things heat up, balance it out with a refreshing Red Wine Spritzer — cool, crisp, and effortlessly smooth. Together, they create a perfect storm of comfort and complexity, mirroring the highs and lows of the story.

✨ Why This Pairing Works:
Like Mills’ characters, this duo doesn’t play it safe. The pasta packs a punch, while the spritzer keeps things from tipping over into too much intensity — a pairing that’s passionate, balanced, and impossible to forget.

So this September, pour a glass, twirl some pasta on your fork, and sink into a romance that will make you feel everything — from the burn of heartbreak to the sweetness of second chances.

Spicy, soulful, and satisfyingly bold. Just like You Could Do Damage.

Until next bite & next chapter,
