Just a Taste

Just A Taste is a well written novel about finding that perfect for you someone even when you proclaim love just isn’t possible. It is about two beautifully broken people who find a connection even when the agreement is “no feelings, no secrets, and no falling in love”. What could possible go wrong with that type of arrangement?! I absolutely fell in love with Miles. He presents himself as the arrogant playboy with a calm and carefree exterior, but I love how he has that hidden, vulnerable side to him. I always love a hero who has many layers to him. Miles pours his heart and soul into his lyrics and it is these lyrics that bring solace to Meg as she tries to navigate through a difficult time in her life. Can I just take a moment to say that I appreciate how the author incorporates his lyrics throughout the book? Meg is a likable, strong heroine. My heart broke for her many times over and I really enjoyed how she was able to see past the facade the Miles presents to the world and really see him as a person and not the rockstar. The two of them together are dynamite with some sizzling scenes that are sure to melt your kindle. In addition to the romance between Meg and Miles, I enjoyed the dynamic between the other band members. Just A Taste is a standalone novel in this author’s Sinful Serenade series. It contains mostly new material that was not seen in Sing Your Heart Out. This book was an entertaining read that put me through all of the feels. It has inspired me to go back and re-read the entire series as this author’s books are so well written with engaging storylines; likable, well-developed characters; and of course, rockstars!

Miles is A screwed up rock star with a don’t care attitude. Or at least that’s what he thinks he wants everyone to see. He’s in pain. Suffered many losses in his life. He pours his emotions into his lyrics but people don’t listen to the words. Then along comes Meg. She hears him. She hurts with him. And that just scares Miles. He is drawn to her but has nothing to offer her emotionally just sex. They become friends with benefits. The chemistry is hot and sexy. Miles is far more caring and sensitive than even he believes. You want to love him and smack him at the same time. He is gorgeous. Crystal Kaswell describes him so well. The pictures form clearly in your mind. He is one very sexy rock star. The story pushes and pulls your emotions. Sometimes bright and happy, other times sad and frustrating. It is a great read. Very entertaining.

4.5 Stars I read this story originally as Sing Your Heart Out and always wanted to see the story from the other POV and I am so glad that it is here. Such a great version of this story!
