3.5 starsA Taste of Trouble by Gina Gordon was a fun weekend popcorn read. It had everything I expect in a fun romantic read - a heart damaged heroine, a great group of pushy friends (on both sides), a reforming ladies man, and plenty of conflict romantically and otherwise. I enjoyed getting to know Liv and Jake and their respective friends. While definitely supporting characters, Liv's friends especially stole my heart, but Jake's friends did as well. The plot and pacing and the quality of writing was good.The best part was once the characters gave in to the electricity sparking between them. Although, isn't that true of most contemporary romance novels? The scenes were steamy, and sticky, without being pornographic. But Gordon took her time in getting them to bed which I appreciate.If you enjoy steamy contemporary romances with the support of great friends to knock some sense into the main characters ala Bridget Jones Diary and the like, you will likely enjoy A Taste of Trouble by Gina Gordon.I received an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
