Ok, let's get the negatives out of the way shall we...

Firstly, those of you who read my reviews regularly will know I have a huge disliking, a pet peeve if you will, with the the term/genre 'urban fantasy' being used willy-nilly. This book is so obviously a paranormal romance, in every sense, and I'm sure you guys can tell too just by reading the blurb - so why-o-why do publishers keep mixing up genres, it's very, very annoying.

Secondly, there are far too many characters thrown at the reader, es...more

Overall, I really enjoyed it, came to really like and care about the main characters, and enjoyed the world. By the midpoint, I was having difficulty putting it down, always the sign of a good book.

However, there was a lot about the book I thought could've been better, and that left me disappointed because I loved the premise and really wanted to love the book from start to finish. It started very slow for me, with what seemed like a lot of info dumping of names and positions and political stances that I didn't feel I had yet enough grounding to fully understand. It takes pages and pages before the Hero and Heroine are spending significant time together, which had me skimming to get to the next section that involved them and the romance. Speaking of which, this book is not urban fantasy, it's pretty traditional paranormal romance, so the categorization seemed odd to me. Though, frankly, I would call this contemporary romance with a dash of paranormal thrown in, because the paranormal never seemed fundamental to understanding the plot or the romance.

Another area I struggled with was the conflict. Neither the internal nor the external conflict had sufficient tension to me. The internal conflict pretty much stemmed from the hero fearing he had hurt the heroine the first time they had sex years ago. That's it. That's the entire thing. This is something that could've been cleared up with a single conversation, but instead, both of them go off in their own directions for years, harboring love for the other, until they're thrown back together in this book, and then they're completely unable to be civil to each other, despite the fact they're totally in love and want each other and there's nothing else standing in their way of being together. The external conflict involved a serial killer picking off the secondary characters and presumably targeting the heroine. However, because the author gave the killer a point of view, from the very FIRST scene of the book, the reader knows who it is the whole time, which deflates the tension of wondering who it is. And, despite the fact that we're in the killer's POV, I never fully understood what his motivation was, or, frankly, even what his weakness/defect was that caused him to behave the way he did. And was it new? Was the first killing in the book the first ever? And, if so, what triggered him to go off all of a sudden? We don't know. (We also don't know when/how/why the killer was all of a sudden hot for the hero at the end...)

While the sexual tension between the characters was good, I was disappointed by the actual sex scenes. With a title like TASTE ME, I was expecting some good steamy, spicy scenes. And, with how good the tension was between them, the story seemed ripe to deliver them. However, it doesn't. In fact, after waiting 247 pages for them to do it, it happens OFF THE PAGE! Yep. Fades to black. In the next scene you get some of the heroine's memories of it, but I for one was completely floored all that build-up would lead to a fade to black. And though they go at it like bunnies afterwards, often the sex is only summarized through narrative memories rather than shown in scene.

Even with all these issues, I have to emphasize again I did walk away from the book having enjoyed it. I lost myself in Scarlett and Lukas for a few hours, and that's what a good book is supposed to do.(less)

And ummm...that monstrous nipple on his chest? Ewww. Finally that tattoo on her back just bothered me. But let's get on to the story.

I actually enjoyed this story a lot more than I expected because admittedly covers do have an affect on my first impressions so I was a little leery going in. The story moves at a pretty quick pace and while you know from the start who the bad guy is you are kept guessing as to who his is going to go after next and who will survive his attacks. One problem with the bad guy is I wish there was more explanation into the whys of what he did. It seemed like he had some sort of addiction but I wasn't clear was this something new? Has he killed before while on tour with Scarlett's band. It was kind of confusing over what exactly turned him onto the particular victims.

As for the main characters I actually did not care much for Scarlett or Lukas. Scarlett turned me off because apparently she was scarred for years after having mind blowing sex with Lukas and then having him walk out on her. So she goes on this whirlwind tour, loses all this weight and pretty much cannot really function for years afterwards. Really? Is this a character I'm supposed to admire? Lukas was your stereotypical over protective, brooding male but I found the fact that because he left a couple bruises on Scarlett and felt the need to cast himself in this horrible light as a brute a bit over done.

I know after all that you may be wondering why I rated it at 3.5 stars rather than something lower. The main reason was I loved the supporting cast of characters and the society that was sketched out containing succubi, inccubi, vampires, werewolves, sirens, etc. Apparently all of these different species came to Earth when their space ship crash landed long ago and they made a new home for themselves here on Earth. One of Lukas's assistants, Bailey, is only the third human ever to be told about their existence and as a spunky computer hacker with an attitude she was a breath of fresh air in comparison to Scarlett's neediness. I also really enjoyed the glimpses we get of Lukas's siblings and the council made up of representatives of each species(including Carl Sagan as the human representative before his death!). So I have hope that the future books are going to have some great story lines. Hopefully the supporting females in this book will retain their spunkiness and the heroes will have a little more depth to them.(less)

I expected, by the title alone, that this book would be an erotic, something I don’t normally read. I was, however, pleasantly surprised to find it was not. Don’t get me wrong. It’s sexy, and steamy. VERY steamy. And fast paced is, I think, an understatement. I was riveted by this story. It’s been a long time since I read a novel in less than one week.

This book, which is advertised as an urban fantasy when it is quite obviously a paranormal romance, started off decently. There are a lot of characters, which at times got a tad confusing, but not enough to deter me from continuing. What aggravated me and reminded me of fan fiction was Scarlett’s music career. There are chapters upon chapters dedicated to how great a singer she is (she is a siren after all, so she should be) and how amazing her band is. Okay, that’s fine I guess, but Dave Grohl...more

This book has been marketed as a "gritty, fast-paced, and sexy urban fantasy romance". While the latter is certainly true, the first adj. are at best a marketing ploy, at worse false.

There's nothing gritty in this story, nor can I say it's fast paced. (Sexy clearly is personal, so I can't say if other readers will find it sexy.) I'm even uncertain (well, not really) whether it can be called urban fantasy (rather than PNR).

I got it after recommendations from two authors whose work I love (Darynda Jones and Caroline Crane) and it was a great tip.

It's the author's first published book and it's great. A fascinating world that I want to know much, much more about. A broad cast of interesting characters with some possible sequel set-ups, a good plot that flowed well, nice pacing, good writing and a great sense of humour and well written dialogue. Boy does the author know her music and the Dave Grohl cameo was genius, pure genius!

I would definitely buy the next and the one after it. All those compliments paid .... On a personal note ...

The main couple Lukas and Scarlett really didn't work for me. I'm pretty sure any kind of competent therapist would have told them to move on and find a healthy equal relationship with new people who weren't carrying a bunch of 'you fit in this box' baggage.
Scarlett was for me the worst kind of 'woman waiting for a man to fix her'. Her life is badly broken, she doesn't have a single friend who isn't family or her 'foster siblings'. She has employees and band members, but NO friends and NO life. Even her career, in which she is successful, is breaking her, she's underweight, exhausted, unhappy out of control etc and it takes some stupidly dramatic happenings for her to notice this. Everybody in her life runs around after her, tries to fix her and at no point do we have any sense of an adult woman with goals or desires that she's actually prepared to do anything (speak perhaps even?) to achieve. She's truly an appalling role model and I'd hate her as friend ( whereas Bailey I really wanted to lunch with :-)
As a couple they've always been unable to communicate and nothing really changes except they have sex. And as a siren and an incubus that's going to be hot - right? But sex really isn't a life ... And even at the very end their communication is poor. just shouting at each other is not communicating :-(

At the beginning of the book I actually thought Bailey was going to be the female protagonist and a truly awesome one she would have made. But no, she was just the dumb friend, so the author could feed us info about the world. I loved her, she felt real. However the info dumping was done beautifully in a very skilled and subtle way - in fact I would have liked a bit more info about the background to the world.

And as for Stephen, the baddy, (that's not a spoiler you find this out in the prologue) I have no problems with books that reveal the baddy up front. But I do feel that if the author chooses that route that they have a duty to fully and coherently explain the baddy's motivations, character, logic etc as we progress. This didn't happen until the very end - when the resolution was basically "yes, we don't know why". All we got along the way were his symptoms, no explanations and by the end well ... again it didn't work for me.

So as you can probably see given my two big problems with the book it must have been freaking awesome to get 4 stars. It was! Recommend it highly. (less)

However somewhere along the way I realized that I just wasn't connecting or caring about any of the characters in the book. I was so disappointed because the world created has a little bit of all of my favorite paranormal characters. This book ended up being a did not finish for me.

Lukas and Scarlett have grown up together and somewhere along the way became a couple. Lukas broke it off with her because she was a Siren and he's a Incubus and the it created problems he wasn't ready to deal with yet. While the relationship has been over for awhile, neither Scarlett or Lukas can get past what they once had. Lukas' is on the Underworld Council as the second Incubus chair (his father being the first one) the Siren Chairs are Scarlett's mother and sister. When the council learns about members of the paranormal community being killed, they agree that Lukas, as CEO of a security company should be in charge of the big rock concert that Scarlett is performing in. The two don't want to work together, but do it because the council demands it.

I thought that the whole underworld council world building part of the book was really well written. I felt like I got to know all the main groups that would be represented in the series and why they did/didn't get along with each other. What I didn't understand though, was why it took so long for Lukas and Scarlett to interact with each other-154 pages in (which is where I gave up) they had only come in contact with each other twice. The most frustrating part to me was that it felt like we got to know Lukas and all the minor characters really well by this point, but Scarlett while being central to the storyline barely had a voice. This may have changed in the second half of the book, by this point I had a hard time caring what happened to her because her voice was so small.

Another frustration for me was the whole mystery of why Scarlett needed protection. Lukas and the others are clueless to who the bad guy is, but the reader is shown who the villain is very early on in the book. I felt like shaking Lukas and Scarlett for not connecting the dots earlier in the story and got bored waiting for them to figure out what I or since I didn't finish this book, assumed I already knew.

Not finishing a book is always hard for me, and I felt bad that I didn't like this book more. While this wasn't for me, the Urban Fantasy rock star world is a bit different from most UF settings, so if you are looking for something different, give Taste Me a try.(less)

I was disappointed that the author didn't really explain what started the killer killing or what was really wrong with him. That weakened that plot for me - that and NO ONE being suspicious at all about him.
