Review
Lexi Blake welcomes us back to the world of Masters and Mercenaries with another fantastic story from the spin off series Topped, which is set in Sean Taggart's restaurant Top. Both main characters work at the restaurant, Deena as a server and Eric as Sean's sous chef. Eric has strong feelings for Deena and has been trying to get close to her for months, but she has sworn off men after being hurt in the past. When they both sign up for beginners classes at BDSM club Sanctum, Deena is shocked when she's paired up with Eric. She begins to see another side of nice guy Eric and she knows she's going to struggle to resist him. Can Eric win Deena's heart and overcome her past?
Eric is a great character and Dom - caring, nurturing and a real sweetheart, he also has a sexy dominant side to his personality. Deena was also very likeable, I really felt for her and how she'd been hurt in the past. I did get a little bit frustrated with her lack of trust though, but it was understandable. I enjoyed the interactions between Eric and Deena, and their chemistry was off the charts.
This is another must read book from Lexi Blake, I definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy BDSM romances. Steamy, emotional and full of fun - I couldn't put this book down. Just One Taste receives five sexy stars.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.
