'Fun, fresh and always sexy – Anise Starre knows romance' HANNAH GRACE

‘I burned through these pages for the hot kitchen scenes and the cold nights’ JOYA GOFFNEY

‘It’s the perfect romp in the snow this holiday season' ALLIE SAMBERTS

A Christmas romance, featuring a personal chef who is snowed in with her least favourite client – a sexy but miserable technopreneur.

The only thing personal chef Noelle Jones loves more than cooking is Christmas. She has a roster of extremely wealthy clients, including the elusive and stoic Alexander Hoxton.

When he asks her to cook a last-minute business meal he’s having, offering triple her pay for the short notice, Noelle jumps at the chance. It’s easy money, one of her favourite dishes and she'll still have plenty of time to get to her family’s annual Christmas reunion.

But, when a sudden blizzard leaves Noelle snowed-in with Alexander, she quickly realises he wants absolutely nothing to do with anything festive. Stuck with a veritable grinch, she’s sure this Christmas is about to become one of her worst . . .

Just a Taste has the perfect blend of ingredients: sexy, angsty, endearing, feel-good and funny.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Anise Starre serves up the perfect blend of forced proximity, slow-burn steam and delicious enemies-to-lovers banter. I devoured every page – just don’t read hungry' (CAMILLA ISLEY)

'Just a Taste is so much more than a taste. It’s the entire delicious meal, one I thoroughly enjoyed. And did my heart ever melt when it was revealed why Alex was a bit of a Christmas grinch. He and Noelle are wonderful in this grumpy/sunshine slow-burn romance, and I can’t wait for Anise’s next book!' (BEVERLEY KENDALL)
