Publisher's summary

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?

Love her books!

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.

loved it

this book was awesome! I really enjoy this author and look forward to reading more.

Good book.

Recommend this book if your looking for a short book with a good love story. Narrator has a great voice. Overall a good book with no complaints.

good story, so so narrator

I love Lexi Blake's books but this particular narrator is not the best. he doesn't perform with much emotion. it is like he's just reading the book.

Solid storyline that fits the series

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.

Monotonous Narration

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.

Great read

This is my favorite series. I love that Lexi Blake makes each character unique and endearing. I also love that she continues to bring back prior characters. This is a community and growing family. Love, love, love.

Sweet.

This was a sweet story. The topped employees are great also. Another great listen in the series.

Excellent book!

It was exciting and the characters were real. I love the fact that Ms Blake uses ex-military in her characters to show what they go thru when they return home, and not always without major loses to their body & souls. I loved how she blends erotic with a real in-depth storyline.

Excellent Book.

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.
