Publisher's summary

Determined to fulfill her dream of becoming a chef and winning a coveted scholarship to study cooking in Italy, Ki Blake rushes in late to the first class of her final semester at Kirkwood Culinary Academy and is stopped in her tracks by Taryn Ellis, the school's newest instructor. A beautiful and accomplished chef, Taryn has walked away from her promising career in the city's top restaurant to devote her life to her five-year-old daughter. Ki and Taryn try their best to resist the urge to give in to the undeniable chemistry between them. And when at last they begin a passionate affair that must be kept a secret, they are each convinced it's only a short-term fling. It's up to both Ki and Taryn to decide whether they have found something genuine or whether the taste of romance is truly enough to satisfy.

Romance for Foodies

Love this story. The narration of Taryn’s accent is fantastic and the women are sweet and likable with just enough angst and steam. Even though the characters have a teacher/student relationship, the relationship never seems like it’s dominated by either character. The women have an equal partnership and they both respect each other’s feelings as their lust and love grow. I’ve listened to this a few times. Sweet feel good romances are my favorites and this one does not disappoint.

Taste-y Treat!

Would you consider the audio edition of Taste to be better than the print version?

The audio is really good, but the book is better.

What other book might you compare Taste to and why?

There aren't too many writers in the genre who write in first person present tense so I can't really compare this book to others. It's a sweet, contemporary romance that's light, yet full of chemistry. Steamy, sexy, and fun.

What does Brittni Pope bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great accents.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Very funny, emotional and made me cry in a good way.

Everything tastes so good😉

As usual, Ms. Bryant offers us a very tasty love story filled with a number of important issues, such as being a good mother, and especially the discrimination in educational institutions and in the work place.
But this is a lovely simmering and passionate tale of two smart and talented women who find a way to make delicious lemonade flavored with love and commitment.
Thank you once again for your talented writing skills.

Perfect story

For someone who doesn’t cook this was an interesting story to follow... great characters, great story...
Brittni Pope was mostly a good narrator, but the accent of Tarin was Australian and not South African... :) all in all great job.

Great story

Beautiful fun story. Low angst but good tension. Kris Bryant’s writing is always beautiful!

I’m a fan of Britini Pope. I love her voice. But this narration was sub par for her. Audio quality was inconsistent, she lacked emotion in some really important scenes- just route reading, and she misnamed the main character and misread some words a couple times.

Would still recommend this audio because the writing is beautiful and the narrators voice is still pleasant enough. But having heard Britini previously, I know she can do better!

Do not read on an empty stomach

Would you consider the audio edition of Taste to be better than the print version?

This is a great read and a beautiful love story, however, you will grow hungry if you do not take the time for a snack before endulge your romance fix.

Loved it!

Kris Bryant writes excellent lesbian romance books. I love her hot sex scenes that leaves you the reader panting too. 😍 WOW! I enjoyed the characters and the story and can’t wait to read or listen to another one of her books! Brittni Pope did a great job narrating, but the recording was a little unclear at times.

So Romantic

I love reading happy romances. I didn’t expect to learn so many cooking tips! This was such a fun book to listen to. Brittni Pope has such a soft, sultry voice, perfect for the steamy scenes.

sound

I loved the story, but if the reader didn't sound like she was in a bathroom most of the recording, it would have been better.
other than the recording sound Brittni Pope has a voice of gold!!!
