Rating: 5 out of 5

Taste the Heat gave me a taste of what I love: A hot hero, a sassy heroine and a lot of sexual tension. Being a Louisiana girl myself, after reading this book, I felt right at home. Rachel Harris did a fabulous job at describing life in New Orleans and she did it in such a way that it added to the story perfectly. I usually don't get into the setting so much. It may have been my "homesickness" or just the excellent way Ms. Harris entangled it into the storyline - it really stood out.But the best part was the characters and that's what absorbed me into this book. Colby Robicheaux is a torn heroine - torn by her past and hurt by so many. Of course her old-time crush, Jason Landry steps in and helps her all while helping himself. They are so perfect for each other, it had my heart pitter pattering every time they were together. Even better was the fact that Jason was suffering his own hurts - losing a wife too early and raising a preteen can be difficult. Oh, and did I mention he's the hot fire department captain? I mean how much yummier can that be? I do have to mention Ms. Harris did an excellent job forming the secondary characters and I hope to read more about them in future books. Will we?Overall, I loved this book so much that I couldn't put it down. I'd go to sleep thinking about Jason and Colby's intense sexual attraction and I'd wake up with the book in my hands. I give the book 4.5 winks. I didn't give it 5 because I normally like to read the sex scenes and this one leads us to the sex but doesn't take us through. Not really a huge factor, but **blush** I do like to read my sex!Rachel Harris has weaved together a perfect story and has captured a new reader! Bravo!
