Just a Taste: A feel-good, funny and delightfully delicious Christmas romance

'Fun, fresh and always sexy – Anise Starre knows romance' HANNAH GRACE

A Christmas romance, featuring a personal chef who is snowed in with her least favourite client – a sexy but miserable technopreneur.

The only thing personal chef Noelle Jones loves more than Christmas, is cooking. She has a roster of extremely wealthy clients, including the elusive and stoic Alexander Hoxton.

When he asks her to cook a last minute business meal he’s having, offering triple her pay for the short notice, Noelle jumps at the chance. It’s easy money, one of her favourite meals to cook, and will still leave her plenty of time to get to her family’s annual Christmas reunion.

But, when a sudden blizzard leaves Noelle snowed-in with Alexander, she quickly realises he wants absolutely nothing to do with anything festive. Stuck with a veritable grinch, she’s sure this Christmas is about to become one of her worst . . .

Just a Taste has the perfect blend of ingredients: sexy, angsty, endearing, feel-good and funny.
