For lovers of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes a deliciously sexy romance with a culinary twist!
She didn’t know how hungry she was…Beautiful and talented Catherine Kelly is intent on starting over as a food photographer in Chicago. With her painful past buried over 2000 miles away, she’s focused on her career and is hungry for little else. Until she meets William Lambourne, a wealthy bachelor with arresting blue-grey eyes filled with enough tragedy to match her own. William urges Catherine to step out from behind her camera and fully taste all that life has to offer, stirring an appetite in her she never knew she possessed - and it’s one only he can satisfy.
He couldn’t wait to feed her…A gourmand who takes great pleasure in food and in women, William Lambourne is rich, powerful, and gorgeous -- and as talented in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom. Longing for a woman to truly savor, William finds his match in Catherine. From the moment he meets her, he is determined to discover the perfect recipe to unlock Cat’s resolve, awaken her senses, and make her his own.
Theirs is a meal worth savoring…William is as mysterious as he is passionate, but as Catherine begins to fall for the stormy-eyed billionaire, she knows she must reveal her own dark secrets. But first, William must win Cat’s heart to ensure their pasts don’t undo them.
Book 1 in The Epicurean series, A Taste of You will leave you ravenous for more of Cat and William’s story!
My Thoughts:
Well, being new to this I went into the book with as much of an open mind as I could. However, the very first sentence of the description had me concerned. I've read books before that were described to me as being like "Fifty" or "Crossfire" and I spent the entire book trying to find how they were alike instead of enjoying the book. I opted to NOT do that this time and just read the book for what it was. I am glad that I did.
I hope to not ruin this book by giving anything away! First, it reminded me a lot of "Crossfire". Hot single billionaire, sexy single female, and gay male best friend...for those that have read "Crossfire" this should all ring a bell!! However, I've never read a book that made me look at food as sex. This one did! It made food so sexy.
I loved Catherine. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind, had goals in life that she wasn't going to give up just for William, and didn't let him command her at all times. Oh and of course there was Laird, her dog, that was never far from the story and was never forgotten about. That warms a spot in my heart.
William is mysterious, sexy, and cooks! That in my book is bonus points! There are moments where you just want to smack him for the way he handles things, but I find that to happen in a lot of books that I get wrapped up in.
Overall, I really did like this book. I had trouble putting it down and I will say that it is Book 1 in a series and it LEFT ME HANGING!!! That drives me crazy!! I have no idea when the next book will be out and its going to drive me nuts waiting! I hope that others find this sweet treat as enjoyable as I did.
