One hot chef...

Eric Vail has always loved a challenge. After leaving the Navy, he mastered his passion for cooking. As the sous chef at Top, one of Dallas’s hottest restaurants, his skills are pushed to the limit every night. Unfortunately, his ultimate prize still eludes him. Server Deena Holmes is the sweetest thing he’s seen in forever, but she’s as distant as she is beautiful. When they’re put together in the same training class at the infamous club Sanctum, he knows this is his shot. And this former SEAL never misses.

A woman who lost her taste for love…

Deena thinks Eric is the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen, but her heart has been burned too many times before. She’s sworn off relationships for good and she can’t trust herself with a man that easy to fall in love with. She takes a spot as a trainee at Sanctum in the hopes of finding a safe place to explore and experiment. When she discovers her partner is the same chef she dreams about every night, Deena knows she may have bitten off more than she can chew.

A perfect recipe for passion

While exploring the world of Sanctum, Eric and Deena find themselves learning about each other and finding an intimacy neither expected. But when the ghosts of her past resurface, old wounds are reopened. Can their newfound love survive when it’s put to the test?

I love Lexi Blake’s book! I am going through this series and have not been disappointed with her stories. I love the humor she puts in each book. Unfortunately, I don’t care for the guy reading this book. I have listen to other books he has done and loved him. He goes to fast like he is just reading the book. Too bad because he has a very nice voice.

Love her books!

A masters and restaurant story with a sensitive Dom pursuing a skittish newby sub. Lots of appearances by wider characters like Ian, Sean, Charlotte... Great to have Sebastian York as a welcome change for narrator. It would have been even better if a female voice could have joined in and missed Ryan West’s voice as Ian. York made a very sexy Eric though.

Solid storyline that fits the series

The story is awesome. It’s funny, entertaining and everything you’d expect from Lexi Blake.

The narration is monotonous and without emotion. Ryan West should have been given the Topped books. They’re too good to be ruined by boring narration.

Monotonous Narration

Just One Taste, although not a particularly long read was amazing. I love that in her this spin off series from her Master & Mercenaries series, the men and women of Topped are often returned veterans; men and women who have sustained injuries and are learning to live with them.
Ms. Blake does not shy away from the harsh realities that many returned veterans find themselves faced with. She writes about them with a great deal of dignity, compassion and caring. This is a wonderful example of this, Eric Vail is such a man, he is getting back on his feet as a chef. He has his eye set on server Deena Holmes and he won’t be denied.
This was an emotional read at times as the past comes back to haunt them.
Sebastian York did a good job narrating the characters in a variety of voices and brought the story to life for me, doing justice to the story that the author created. His voice was easy to listen to and I found myself invested in their performances.

Entertaining

I really loved this book. An excellent book in the Topped series. All of the books are inspirational stories about overcoming obstacles and how love can make all the difference in the world. Five Stars all the way on this one.

Excellent Book.
