Jen's Review: “Just a Taste” by Deirdre Martin

Anthony has buried himself in his work as head chef at the family restaurant since the death of his wife. But when Vivi decides to open a bistro across the street, he begins to feel alive again. There is something about the stunning French woman that makes his Italian blood boil.

I first picked up a Deirdre Martin book because her hero was a hockey player and that seemed intriguing for me. And I was hooked. In fact, that book was the story of Michael and Theresa… and Michael is Anthony’s (the hero of Just a Taste) brother. After having read this series of books, I was happy to finally get Anthony’s story. His restaurant had been in many scenes and I’d been wondering when we’d get to know him better. And Ms. Martin didn’t disappoint in this story. She gave him a mate who matched his intensity, understood him, and loved him. This was another exceptional book, filled with both laugh out loud humor and heart wrenching emotion.
