The Taste of Love

A historical romance read for someone who enjoys laughing with characters who end up in very precarious situations and hot love scenes! Who wouldn’t like to be a test frog for a pretty little gel? Lady Penelope needed a test frog, you know, a guy who can teach her what kissing is all about. She knew she was safe with Thaddius—brawny, handsome Thad. With the Book of Love passed to her by her two best friends who found their true loves, hers was to test what love was all about. A girl needed to be ready with the necessary tools available to measure the man she intended to marry, didn’t she? Who better than her longtime friend, Thad? Thaddius was only a test frog. This thought was hard to keep utmost in her mind because her test frog was simply delicious! Poor man!! Poor man indeed, because he’d always been in love with her, but he hadn’t the title necessary to even contemplate a possible union. He couldn’t let her choose another test frog because she’d never be safe with them. His protection streak was a mile long when it came to Lady Penelope. Being a test frog was torture. He had a hard time controlling certain parts of his anatomy!It was also confirmation of just how much she affected him. Unbeknownst to him, Penelope was having a difficult time separating frog from man! Lady Penelope went about ‘testing’ very methodically. Thad soon found out she gave as much as she was given. The situation was funny and led to some rather (fanning myself) hot scenes. I haven’t read the others in this series, but if Penelope’s story is any indication of the rest, I’m sure to enjoy them.
