4.5 stars!!!I finished reading Taste the Heat early this morning. I am now writing my review at 7pm the same night, and still swooning over Jason!!! The guy is UH-MAZING!!! I totally want to hug him, kiss him, and lick him ;) He is all kinds of yumminess. Wow, I could go on and on but as long as you understand that he is WONDERFUL, then we can move on :)So, the story goes that Colby is a chef and has currently moved back to her home town after being away for 12 years. And guess who she bumps into?? Yep, Jason, the one guy she had a crush on all of her teenage years, and also her older brother's best friend. But things have changed. Both Jason and Colby have changed. They have both suffered losses that have "broken" them. There is an instant attraction that Jason is shocked by and Colby is confused by.  Ok, I lied...I can't stop...I must swoon more! What is there not to be attracted too when it comes to Jason?!?! He is a fire captain(drooling), gym owner(drooling again), and an amazing father(still drooling). What is she waiting for??? I know, I know, she has trust issues."Personally, I think of Jason as nothing more than an honorary annoying brother. But if that man ever looked at me with that level of intensity, I would take him in the back and invent a new use for the spatula.: ~Sherry(Colby's younger sister)AMEN, sista!!!And just as Jason is amazing, of course his daughter, Emma, is also just as great! How could she not be. She stole my heart just as quickly as she stole Colby's. I felt sorry for Emma but I also thought she was a strong girl with a great head on her shoulders. She was smarter than Colby and Jason gave her credit for, and I loved reading her dialogue.One of the things I loved the most about this story was that it was so real and relateable(my own made up word...lol). I could picture myself in Colby's position and I understood her confusion.  Plus, listening to Jason with his daughter reminded me of my husband with our kids and made me smile and laugh. But, I must admit that I was shocked by the lack of sex. And I don't mean that in a bad way! What I mean by it is, I was built up into a ball of heat(that was ready to burst) while reading about how these two flirted and teased one another, and then didn't even get to enjoy the action...I only wanted one taste of that chocolate ;) But, I was still ok with that, because all I wanted was for the two to be happy. I was so addicted to their relationship that I didn't even miss the sex...who knew that could happen!!!Have I convinced you to read this story yet?? I sure hope so, everyone needs to give it a try and I hope you love it as much as I did :)  Happy reading!!
