Just One Taste is book 4.5 in the Pine Mountain
series.
I just love Kimberly Kincaid's Pine Mountain series
and JUST ONE TASTE
is the perfect addition to the series. Kat McMarrin loves
living in the small
town of Pine Mountain. Her father was a colonel in the
army so while she
was growing up, they moved every eighteen months. Three
years ago she
put down roots in Pine Mountain and has no plans to leave.
She works as
a physical therapist and lives in a multi unit apartment
building. One day
while she is returning from work, the activity around the
apartment building
looks like a bomb went off.
Jesse Oliver is Kat's neighbor. He has no family left in
Pine Mountain and
has just found out that the building isn't going to be
cleaned up from the
water main break for at least a month. He figures he is
going to be living in
the back of his car until his army buddy Gabe tells him
about a lake house
he has that Jesse can use. Little does he know, but Gabe's
sister will also
be using the lake house for a while too. Here is where
things get very
interesting!
My emotions were all over the place while reading JUST ONE
TASTE.
Jesse is so sure that Kat deserves better than him. He
feels as if he can't
give her what she deserves. He is an Afghanistan veteran
and while in the
army he was a medic. His unit gets hit by an IED and as a
medic he can't
save everyone. He feels like he let them down. Your
heart will break for
Jesse and what he endured in the war, but at the same time
you will be
cheering for him to let go of the past and be happy once
again.
I was so excited to learn Kimberly Kincaid was finally
going to give me
Jesse's story! He is exactly the reason why I wish Pine
Mountain was a
real town so I could pack my bags and move there tomorrow.
The small
town feel of JUST ONE TASTE is so heart warming and you
will feel as if
all the townspeople are your friends and you've known them
all your life.
The way Jesse and Kat fight their mutual attraction for
each other is going
to tug at your heart and at the same time, will have you
wanting to knock
some sense into both of them. I can't wait to continue
with this series.
A little home improvement can go a long way… Jesse Oliver was a medic in Afghanistan,
but back home in Pine Mountain he’s happy to switch gears
as
the Double Shot bar’s new sous chef. When his apartment
floods and his old Army buddy offers the family’s
dilapidated lake house as temporary quarters, Jesse thinks
a
little remodeling on the creaky duplex sounds like a fair
return favor. That’s before he sets eyes on the gorgeous
woman moving into the other side of the cabin—and
discovers
she’s his buddy’s kid sister, a.k.a totally off limits.
Kat McMarrin has fought hard for her space, and
she’s not too interested in sharing it. Of course, her job
as a physical therapist means she won’t see much of Jesse,
even if he’s a few thin floorboards away—unless she seeks
him out. And with his sculpted body and slow-burn gaze,
she
might be tempted. Maybe the fixer-upper projects she has
planned for the cabin will keep her mind off him. Or maybe
her instincts to strip the place down will get out of
hand…
