    About this audiobook

    One sexy fire captain. One Cajun chef. One combustible kitchen…

    When chef Colby Robicheaux returned home to New Orleans to save her family restaurant, the last person she expected to reconnect with was her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush. As tempting as a sugar-coated beignet, Jason is one dish she can’t afford to taste. Colby can’t wait to leave the place where her distrust of love and commitment originated and go back to Vegas.

    Fire captain Jason Landry isn’t looking for love, either. Disillusioned by his past, he knows he should be focusing on finding the perfect mother for his daughter. But when he first sees Colby, all grown up and gorgeous, he can’t help but be drawn to her. And when she suggests a no-strings-attached fling, Jason can’t say no.

    As their relationship grows more intense, Colby finds that Jason isn’t as easy to leave behind as she thought. Could turning up the heat on something real be worth the possibility of getting burned?

      I thought I had read this book years ago, had not realized that it was written years ago until after I had requested it, but thankfully I was happy that I did. we have a big brothers best friend/forbidden love story, forbidden because Cain which is Colby's brother wasn't gung ho about it. Anyhoo Colby had left 11 years ago after finding out about a betrayal that it was understandable why she left and why she felt the way she did, my heart went out to her. So here we have secrets, many issues or road blocks for these two to be able to have a relationship, It was sweet, heartbreaking and just enjoyable, I fell in love with Jason, huh I swear it seemed that he was perfect (firefighter is one of my favorite professions) wonderful daddy, good friend list just goes on and on, but I wont tell you more besides encouraging you to read it and grab a copy..Enjoy!Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.

      Rachel never disappoints me and this book is no exception. Great story setup, nice sizzle between the main characters and Jason's daughter is an appealing minor character.

      I loved Rachel Harris' YA novel My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, and was really excited to read her debut adult contemporary novel, Taste the Heat. I must say that she exceeded all my expectations. I just loved it. Colby Robicheaux has been gone from New Orleans for almost 12 years. She has established herself as a well known and well respected chef in Las Vegas, but after her father's death, she has returned home to help her brother and sister run the family restaurant for the summer, counting the days until she can leave New Orleans and everything it represents to her behind. Jason Landry is the Captain of the Fire Department, and for those who love a man in uniform, he is hotness personified - with and without it. He is also Colby's childhood crush and her brother's best friend. When the two meet again at a community function and he doesn't recognize Colby at first, it proves to be very entertaining for her to watch his reaction and be the object of his flirtation. When Jason finally does realize who she is, he wants to kick himself - I mean she is practically like his little sister, only she isn't so little anymore, and she sure doesn't feel like a sister. Jason knows he should remarry for his daughter Emma's sake, but he doesn't want to put his heart out there to be broken again. It's just too painful. The last thing Colby wants is a relationship, but when she looks at Jason, she finds all those old feelings rising to the surface. Despite their best attempts, they cannot stay away from each other. Besides, Emma loves Colby, and Colby feels the same way about Emma. Colby makes it clear she is leaving at the end of the summer, but they can hang out and have fun while she is there casually....or can they? What Jason doesn't know, and Colby soon confides in him, is the real reason she left New Orleans and why she rarely comes back. Jason also shares his pain with Colby. He then becomes a man on a mission to help Colby heal from the wounds from her past, but Colby may just feel she is too broken to fix. Taste the Heat is such a great story. I loved both Colby and Jason, especially Jason. They just don't come any better than him, and Rachel Harris has outdone herself in creating his character. I loved Jason's daughter Emma to. She is such a sweetheart. The secondary characters were excellently written and woven into the story, especially Colby's brother Cane and her sister Sherry, and I really hope her next book is about Cane. He has the whole hot bad boy persona going on, and I would love to read more about him. I have said it before and I will say it again, I haven't read a book yet from Entangled Publishing that I didn't like and their Bliss imprint is one of my favorites. Taste the Heat is a an exciting romance that is sweet, but has that sizzle that makes it exciting, and is also fun, entertaining, and emotional at times. I loved the New Orleans setting, and the way Rachel Harris was able to immerse you into the city and its culture, especially its world famous food. If you are a contemporary romance fan then Taste the Heat is a great read and something you definitely will want to check out.
