Taste the Heat A Love and Games Novel edition by Rachel Harris Contemporary Romance eBooks

Eh. I wasn't overly impressed with this book. It started off on a bad foot with me because I used to live in St. Tammany Parish, and in my experience, it isn't particularly Cajun-y there. It's full of transplants that are there to work in the oil business or from the military, and it is really nothing like living in New Orleans. I spent the whole book judging all of the Louisiana stuff in this book. For example, it takes longer that 20 minutes to get from the Northshore to New Orleans. It takes longer than that just to cross the Causeway which is one of the longest bridges in the world. I felt like such a snob reading this book, but I just couldn't help making comparisons.

Also, I thought this book really needed another chapter or an epilogue or something. There were so many loose-ends that needed tied up, and an epilogue would have helped a lot.

Finally, I didn't like how this book ended. It should have been them officially getting together. *Spoiler Alert* The proposal was way to quick. They had been on 2 (3?) dates. I know that they had known each other years ago and that Jason was in a hurry because he wanted to have a stable family unit for Emma, but it was too fast.

Taste the Heat A Love and Games Novel edition by Rachel Harris Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

I have read My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by this author and when I heard she was writing an adult book I was really curious about this. The blurb sounded good too so I picked it up. When I started this book I was a bit afraid it was going to be a typical romance book, but I ended up really liking it.

This book is weet and filled with love, romance and food. After a bit cliche start and a sort of insta love (they know each other from childhood, but as you don't get to read how they first met each other and fall in love) I wasn't sure if this would be a book for me. After the first few chapters I couldn't put the book down anymore and I wanted to keep reading. Okay so the story is a bit predictable in general, but it also has lots of little surprises and I liked the writing style.

There is a scene towards the end of the book that I didn't like, although I do realize it was nessecary for the characters. I also liked the food aspect and the setting. The ending was great and I almost had tears in my eyes, it was really romantic.

The characters are also great, although I did felt like we didn't get to know some of the side characters really well. There will be 2 more books in this series so I hope we wil get to know some characters better then, like Colby her brother and sister. This book focusses mostly on Colby, Jason and Emma. I have to say I love Emma, there aren't many books I've read where one of the main characters has a child, but I have to say it really worked in this book.

To conclude this book is filled with romance, love and food. I really enjoyed the story and the writing style, although the story is a bit predictable sometimes.
For anyone who is on the cusp of adulthood or is looking for a good crossover from YA to "adult" reading, TASTE THE HEAT by Rachel Harris is the perfect book for you. The title is part of Entangled Publishing's Bliss line, which releases contemporary novels that reflect the trials and tribulations of modern love in America with a focus on family, home, a strong sense of community and happiness. This description is the perfect way to summarize the overall mood and setting of TASTE THE HEAT, an adult novel that, while undeniably hot and spine-tingly romantic, is better suited for teens than a vast majority of the "new adult" titles currently on the market.

As far as adult romances go, Rachel Harris knows how to turn up the heat, while keeping her characters grounded in reality and delightfully, well, tasteful. I swooned in all the right places, I begged for more when character interactions got "this close" to toe curling hotness and I wanted only the best for everyone involved. There are some serious situations involved here that will definitely rev up your emotions, but nothing overly-so to become melodramatic... Just a pinch of family rifts, a dash of infidelity, all blended in with a bit of the dearly departed and whatnot. The overall depth to this story about family, unrequited love and life-long friendships will have you craving additional stories about the secondary characters - which, I am happy to say, the author has confirmed will be coming!

What I love most about Rachel's writing is her ability to put her characters into situations that reflect their unique and realistic personalities, decisions and emotions. I saw the potential in her first, super flirty young adult novel, My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, and I experienced it again in TASTE THE HEAT. But, dare I say, it appears that Rachel has honed in on the writing elements and skills that she knows best, and she has developed an even more fleshed out cast of characters that current and new fans will surely fall in love with.

TASTE THE HEAT is a story full of preconceived notions and misunderstandings and is a complete roller coaster ride on the emotions. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. While I found myself grinding my teeth every time one of her characters thought a silly and absurd thought or made a decision that I knew would not work out in their favor, underneath it all I felt that the story was progressing the way that it was meant to. I loved reading about how the two main characters gravitated toward, and then drifted away from, each other - back and forth, back and forth - throughout the novel. In the end, I have never encountered a more deliberate avoidance of the *glaring* truth between two characters in all of my life - but I loved every bit of it!

Everything about TASTE THE HEAT is utterly delightful and just as deliciously sweet as the tasty treats that are sprinkled throughout its pages. Oh, and it's got firemen. Like, the GOOD kind of firemen. The kind you'll want to snap shirtless photos of in order to make a 12 month calendar... In fact, I have created a new Twitter hashtag for how I feel about the leading fireman in TASTE THE HEAT. That's right folks, I officially have a #JasonCrush.

For only $2.99, you'll want to add TASTE THE HEAT to your collection of ebooks to take to the beach this summer. Too far from the beach? Well then... just pull out a blanket, find the nearest patch of grass and expect to enjoy a few hours of fresh air and some simmering summer heat... preferably in front of a building full of smokin' hot firemen (just make sure they're not smokin' because the building is on fire, ok?) Trust me, you're in for a real treat with this one!

Highly recommended to all fans of romantic stories that are full of family, food and spicy fun!
