Synopsis:
For delizioso pasta, go to Dante’s. For a sumptuous
Cordon Bleu, go to Vivi’s.
To really heat things up, get them
together.
Since his wife’s untimely death, Anthony Dante has
thrown himself into his cooking, making his restaurant, Dante’s, a Brooklyn
institution. So far, his biggest problem has been keeping his retired hockey
star brother out of the kitchen. But now, a mademoiselle is invading his
turf. And you know what they say: too many chefs spoil the neighborhood.
Stunning Vivi Robitaille can't wait to showcase her
tastebud-tingling recipes in her brand new bistro, Vivi’s. Her only problem
is an arrogant Italian chef across the street who actually thinks he’s
competition. The table is set for a culinary war until things start getting
spicy outside of the kitchen...

To steal a line directly from
the book, Just A Taste is "deliciously decadent". Whether you
love to cook or not, this book is sure to inspire you to heat things up in
the kitchen- possibly in more ways than one. This fast paced romance is one
not only for the heart but for the stomach too. You can't help but feel a
deep, guttural lust for the food and romance that is cooking between the
pages here.
What's the recipe for creating a fun, delectable read? Deirdre Martin
believes it starts with the combination of two sexy, single, headstrong
chefs; one small Brooklyn neighborhood; and a healthy dose of competition.
Next mix in a hearty helping of witticism; pour on the lust and sexual
tension, that can be cut with a knife; add a dash of doubt; and last but not
least, don't forget some family drama- just to spice things up a little bit
more. Mix well, serve, and enjoy.
Vivi and Dante have their problems, but that's what makes them so
believable. The story pulls you in from the first bite and doesn't let you
go until you've fully digested it in it's entirety, and then it still leaves
you wanting more. A mouthwatering, delectation sure to please even the most
refined palate. Readers can't go wrong with this delightful romance. |
