Rating: 4 out of 5

Taste the Heat by Rachel Harris is an amazing, passionate love story. I loved the whole premise of Colby having a childhood crush on Jason and a chance to live her dream of being with him years later.Harris' depiction of the characters' intense emotions along with the struggles associated with becoming a blended family were well-developed. Both the characters and their situations were believable. Jason is hesitant to get involved with Colby, because he doesn't want a relationship to have a negative impact on his daughter, Emma. Emma just wants her father to be happy and her matchmaking attempts are priceless. I just loved the sly tactics that Emma used in her matchmaking schemes. Colby had a hard time trusting due to the untrustworthy men of her past. Her thoughts can be described as irrational and self-centered at times; yet, I liked how Colby evolved as she reflected on her feelings/behaviors and reconsidered her position on various issues.  The supporting characters were also well-written as they helped Jason and Colby resolve issues from their past so they could move on.At one point, there were just some events and misunderstandings that put Jason and Colby's relationship on unstable ground, and at times it seemed that a happy ending was a little out of reach.  The ending was touching but similar to another book that I read recently. Then--in the end... Well, if you'd like to know how the book ended, I recommend reading Taste the Heat.Rating 4.5/5I received an e-arc of Taste the Heat by Rachel Harris from the publisher for an honest review, thank you.
