`Taste the Heat' is a super sweet romance. Sometimes an angsty book is good, but other times you want something that is cute and makes you smile. If you're looking for the latter, `Taste the Heat' is definitely one you'll want to pick up.While most of this book is fun, there are also some serious aspects. Colby doesn't think she can trust a man to be faithful and Jason doesn't want another love after his wife's death. Of course it doesn't work out that way, but these two, especially Colby, are stubborn when it comes to love.Another thing I loved about `Taste the Heat' is that there were all kinds of fun aspects besides just the romance. Colby's love of food and cooking shines throughout the whole novel. Jason's patience and kindness and how much he loves his daughter, Emma, made him incredibly swoonworthy. Said daughter was so sweet and adorable, and she added a lot to the story. The setting of the book was also fabulous, with fun, small town charm mixed with New Orleans and the French Quarter. I also really enjoyed getting to know Colby's brother and sister. Their family business was a big part of the story, and that whole dynamic was great.Basically, I really enjoyed this story! `Taste the Heat' has a really sweet wish fulfillment aspect, with Colby finally getting to be with her childhood crush, her brother's best friend. The history Colby and Jason had made this story all the more rich, and transformed a quick moving romance into something natural and special.
