Angela Loukas, owner of the bakery A Taste for All
Pleasures, has big dreams. She wants her bakery to be about
more than cupcakes and cookies; she wants to be known for
decadent and unusual French pastries. She also wants to
finally get over her cheating ex-husband. When Daniel Flynn
enters her shop to order six vanilla cupcakes, the instant
attraction that sparks between them suggests she is more
than ready to move on.
Daniel is in the shop to buy the cupcakes in honor of his
deceased fiancée, he's more of a chocolate guy. At her
death bed, he promised no dating until after the date of
their planned wedding has passed. For 18 months he has
honored his promise. However, Angela might just be too much
temptation. Are they both ready to move on and take another
chance on love?
JUST ONE KISS is the start of a new series featuring a group
of friends who own shops in the same center, each dedicated
to one of the senses (touch, taste, sound, sight, and
smell). We get to meet all the of the friends which
definitely peaked my interests in the rest of the series.
Since I am intrigued by the premise of the series, I hate to
admit I did not enjoy the basis of this particularly story.
The idea of Daniel breaking, or being tempted to break, the
promise he made to his dying fiancée made it a little hard
to root for Angela and Daniel. Yes, asking someone to wait
2 years is selfish but he did make the promise and had tried
conscientiously to honor it. Maybe if there had been more
emotional turmoil in giving up that promise I would have
been satisfied. That said, I liked Angela and Daniel. The
chemistry between them is strong. I enjoyed their
interactions with each other, as well as those with their
friends. I look forward to seeing what Ms. Sharpe does with
the remaining books in the series.
Nestled in the heart of Seattle, A Taste for All Pleasures
is a warm hub of decadent baking delights. Sweet buttery
cookies with melted chocolate, yummy cupcakes with creamy
soft icing… and the owner, Angela Loukas, is about to
meet a
mouthwatering morsel of a man—one she can't resist!
Unfortunately, Daniel Flynn is officially celibate. No sex.
No dating. It's criminal, really. But once he steps into
Angela's shop, he remembers what temptation—in the form of
chocolate icing and a mischievous set of chocolate-brown
eyes—feels like.
Now he wants to have his cupcakes…and Angela, too!
