Review / Release Blitz: Taste (Cloverleigh Farms #7) by Melanie Harlow


TASTE, an all-new enemies-to-lovers, small town romantic comedy filled with emotion and laughter from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow is live now!


The last person on earth I want to be stranded with is Gianni Lupo.

But thanks to the blizzard of the century, I’m trapped in a roadside motel room with that cocky bastard for two straight days.

With one small bed.

Some women might thank Mother Nature for delivering a polar vortex that maroons them with six feet of solid muscle, those deep blue eyes, that sexy grin--but not me. I’ve known Gianni Lupo all my life, and he’s never brought me anything but bad luck and trouble.

So when the tension between us explodes with enough fiery heat to melt my icy defenses, I should have known what the disastrous end result would be--

A big fat plus sign.

After the snow melts, I’m left with more than just memories of the night we spent keeping each other warm. And he might be a rising star on the culinary scene, but he’s got no idea how to handle this bun in the oven.

He says he wants to do the right thing, but I’m not about to spend the rest of my life feeling like someone settled for me.

But just when I think I’ve got Gianni Lupo all figured out, he gives me a taste of the man he could be, of the family we could become, of the way he could love me if I let him.

I’m terrified of falling for him.

But one taste might be all it takes.

MY REVIEW

Ellie has been looking for a way to promote Etoile, where she's the sommelier, and she's found the perfect way - do a tasting at the home of the editor of Tastemaker magazine, where she'll talk up their wines and put in her name for 30 Under 30 list. But to do it, it looks like she's got a co-rider, her least favorite person, frenemy Gianni Lupo. He's the man who has driven her nuts since they were toddlers. She can't bring him along, though, because he'll just suck up all the energy in the room and she'll be invisible to Fiona and co. And he might do something much, much worse, cause her to give into the latent chemistry that's always existed between them.

Gianni has loved teasing Ellie, the girl he grew up with, since they first met. He's never quite acknowledged that the real reason he teases her is that he might have stronger feelings for her than random attraction and casual affection, but when forced confines and a little bit (a lot) of alcohol have them finally giving into their lust, will the consequences give them a chance to explore deeper feelings?

Ah these two...so much unsaid lay between them, so much tension that it was obvious there was more to them than the average boy picking on the girl. Gianni was immature and a cocky idiot for most of it, but he wasn't without his sweet charm, and more than redeemed himself by the time the end came around. Ellie had her defenses set on high, understandably so, but she couldn't hold out forever against a Lupo, right? I knew this story would be great, how could the story of the children two of my favorite Harlow couples not be awesome? It has her signature laughs with the sizzling chemistry and two adorable characters who had obviously been in love with each other their whole lives.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
