One sexy fire captain. One Cajun chef, One combustible kitchen…
When chef Colby Robicheaux returned home to New Orleans to save her family restaurant, the last person she expected to reconnect with was her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush. As tempting as a sugar-coated beignet, Jason is one dish she doesn’t want to taste. Colby is counting down the days till she can leave the place where her distrust of love and commitment originated and go back to Vegas.
Fire captain Jason Landry isn’t looking for love, either. He knows he should focus on finding the perfect mother for his daughter, but when he first sees Colby, all grown up and gorgeous, he can’t help but be drawn to her. And when she suggests a no-strings-attached fling, Jason doesn’t want to say no.
As their relationship grows more intense, Colby finds that Jason isn’t as easy to leave behind as she thought. Could turning up the heat on something real be worth the possibility of getting burned?
Taste the Heat is a sweet, alluring and simple romantic novel. Plus it not only focused on the pair/couple but the story also centers on their family and how important and close their families are. It's somewhat a sigh of relief from me since many novels nowadays focuses on broken families and surviving such. Though there's also a touch of that here but its primarily on the good side of close knit family ties.
When I first heard Rachel Harris writing and adult novel, I became curious and very much interested on how it can compare to her YA novels (which I adore very much! I've read both as soon as they were released hehe). And after reading Taste the Heat, I discovered Rachel's writing in the adult line is pretty much alike with her YAs except that its sexier and different age group. Hehe. But! As one of Rachel's flirt squad members said, this is a G-rated novel and is sort of safe if younger audiences accidentally read it. The sex scenes are pretty much just mentioned but not graphically described, like nada.. It's even more wholesome than the NA genre if you ask me, which I appreciated a lot because typically, adult books are stereotyped with more sensual content. And i like how Rachel deviated from it.
As for the story, it's a pageturner and just equally sweet! You won't believe how much I laughed and snickered and swooned! I probably looked like a crazy woman from the outside. Lol. So do I recommend this book? Yeah!
