I was really looking forward to getting back to the Blue Mountain Distillery and I was very happy that I went back. Eve and Nick’s story was a little bit strange and a whole lot interesting.

Eve was a real pip. She was definitely OCD about things being in order, planning and life. Nothing is spontaneous with her, even having sex. But, there is one person that makes her forget her planner, her notebook and her post-it notes … Nick Baker.

Nick makes no promises. He does not make plans. He takes things as the come … one-day-at-a-time! That’s him. A man who cannot be counted on to be there in the long run. Then, why did he agree to finish building the tasting and visitors center when his father went down? Why can’t he say no to little Miss Organization? What is it about her that gets him thinking about long-term and breaking every promise he made to himself and make her a promise that he would always be there for her?

There are several things standing in the way of Eve and Nick. The biggest barrier is his secret. The 2nd biggest is Lorena who wins the Bitch of the Month Award. Nope, not a fan of this woman, her higher-than-thou attitude or the blinders she has on, just turned me completely off.
Especially at the end. I was hoping that she would have been redeemed and she just pissed me off more. I was surprised with who was redeemed and showed me that the love of a father for his son could turn your way of thinking around.

So, now it’s time to seriously commend Ms. Stanley on the writing of this story. She dug into some serious issues and wrote about them with style and grace. She showed us the trials of tribulations of a person going through AA and just how it affects the people around them. She dug deep and showed us the emotions of people going through Al-Anon/Alateen and how they cope with family members who are alcoholics. I was really impressed with how she wove these topics throughout the story but also gave Nick and Eve the chance to fall in love. Ms. Stanley also has a sense of humor and it shown through right from the beginning. I am looking forward to another trip back to Blue Mountain and can only hope that she keeps the series as fun and interesting as A Taste of You was.

Not a bad read. Easy going romance with some laugh out loud moments. Well written with strong character development

I just felt this book was ok- nothing special. Eve was fun, but something about Nick just didn't quite sit right with me. Couldn't put my finger on it, but this book was just not for me.

A Taste of You (Bourbon Brothers) by Teri Anne Stanley
This is Eve McGrath and Nick Baker's story.

Eve loves her planner and office supplies. She never goes anywhere without her planner. Nick takes each day as they come and planners terrify him. Also, Nick has his secrets. Due to circumstances they end up working together. The attraction and chemistry between them is red hot. Will their differences and Nick's secrets prevent from true love?

This story is funny and sexy with some twists. A great read when you need an escape.

FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I could not understand why he didn't want to tell anybody about being an alcoholic. It's not something that should be embarrassing.

Fun. Flirty. Sexy. Light. Engaging but not overwhelming. This was a read that told you of the hardships and pain without overwhelming you with the intense or over stimulating details of it all. The characters were able to still live life without having their past take joy and pleasure out of it. Eve was due for some fun and flirt a little. Nick needed to live in the now and not the past so much. Eve understood herself and allowed for life to happen and went along with it for the most part. She was strong and realistic. These two took life in different strides but came together and made a whole new path form and it worked.

Looking for a light, quick, fun, flirty read. Need a smile that will get you through. Then I suggest you pick up Teri Anne Stanley’s latest release A Tasty of You.

Bourbon Brothers series:
Drunk on You – Bourbon Brothers, #1
A Shot with You – Bourbon Brothers, #2
A Tasty of You – Bourbon Brothers, #3

Eve and Nick were lovely (though some aspects of the plot were definitely darker than I was expecting from a romance novel!) but Eve's mother was pure poison!! She might have had reasons for some of her behaviour, however that didn't change the fact that she was irredeemably awful! I'm afraid my deep dislike of her coloured my view of the story and consequently affected my enjoyment.

I just love this series and Nick and Eve's book did not disappoint,they were wonderful characters totally different and so perfect for each other a super book and a must read i just loved it.

Such a fun read!

Eve and Nick make one heck of a couple, and an even better team as they worked together to get Eve's family's tasting center up and ready to go for her mother's big charity event. And okay, there were some pretty serious issues being dealt with here too--alcoholism, both from the personal POV and that of their family's, guilt and abandonment--but even though their treatment was well done and realistic, they didn't bog the story down. Throughout it all, Ms. Stanley's writing had me giggling out loud--a lot--and even tearing up at the end. Because, dang. Good ending.

A Taste of You is the third book in the series, but should work fine as a standalone; even though the MCs from books one and two ( Drunk on You and A Shot with You ) make frequent appearances, you don't have to have read their books to enjoy them here. But given what happens at the end, you're probably going to want to.

Just sayin'.

Also just sayin'--an office supplies addiction is only a problem if you let it be one. There's nothing wrong with a healthy appreciation for post-it notes, composition books, and exactly the right size tabs for every project. Nothing. At. All. Plus, everybody counts down the days until the back to school sales start at office supply stores, don't they? I know Eve has my back here... ;)

Rating: 4 stars / A-

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I have chosen to DNF this title. I was not able to get into the author's writing style and I felt like I was being told what is happening instead of shown, and this made it difficult for me to connect with the characters and the story.

As always, I both appreciate the opportunity to read this title and look forward to the next one.

Not only did this book have a wonderful romance with lots of bumps and humor, there are some really hard issues that need dealt with.
Although Eve and Nick have different ways to deal with life, they find ways to work with each other which makes for a very entertaining story.
I think this story will appeal to all types of romance readers. It's not all about the hook up (even though that is fun) but problems that contribute to life that aren't always enjoyable to deal with.

The author found a perfect balance in her telling of all aspects to this story.
What a great read.

Another cute book for this series. It’s sweet and heartfelt. Eve is beyond type-A and she is on a time crunch to get her family’s new tasting and visitor center for the distillerary ready by opening date. The only problem is her carpenter is MIA so when she goes to finds him she finds his extremely attractive son and his father unable to complete the job because he’s injured. As luck would have it Nick is also a carpenter but convincing him to complete the job in his father’s absence isn’t easy. The last thing Nick a recovering alcoholic needs it to work at a whisky distillery but he eventually relents to complete what’s left of his father’s work. As time passes Nick discovers there is more that whisky at the distiller to tempt him. Eve and Nick have similar back round with unreliable alcoholic fathers and an attraction to one another that’s too strong to resist. Nick doesn’t believe his good enough for Eve and doesn’t want her to know the past he’s ashamed of. I loved the characters, the connection, and the buildup of the storyline. This was a 4 star read for me.

This was one by this author that the characters did the pulling. They take you along by the hand with the story wrapping around you giving a good escape for awhile. Eve and Nick both have their things to accomplish with helping a parent but when they combine the chemistry level begins to rise . Bits of humor are also sprinkled through out the reading of this to have this be a well rounded romance to stay into. They have their issues but then so do we with this author showing how these two have them crumble abit. She knows how to warm us up quite abit with her writing coming out of this one satisfied with the smile to show for it.

Nick Baker is back in Kentucky because his father is in the hospital after drinking too much and injuring himself. Now in the hospital they don’t want to release him because they found some other issues, one being he drinks too much. Nick also knows that his father has a job to do and is really not wanting to help him out. That is until Eve McGrath shows up at the soon to be Blue Mountain Distillery tasting room and visitor center. Having hired Nick’s father and now seeing Nick she wants to hire him, she also sees a few things that he has built and knows he can do the job but is wondering why he lives in Tennessee, and he really has not a steady job for 5 years. Nick really is attracted to Eve but is worried about his sobriety working at the distillery. The author does a good job of incorporating Nick going to AA meetings and talking to his sponsor this just adds to the story. My only issue with the story and this is just mine, is that Nick needed to come out and just tell people a few times that he does not drink and the issue would have been dropped, but I understand for the story it needed to be played out a certain way. My friends know I don’t drink now for over 30 years and we still get together where ever and even back then they supported me. The ending of this book is great at least for me and also the way he worked out the issue with his mother, parts of steps 8 and 9 are forgiving yourself as well. Both Nick and Eve are working on their pasts in order to have a future. You also get a look at both AA and Al-Anon, and both families are dealing with the effects of alcohol. Eve’s obsession with office supplies adds humor to the story as well as some other fine moments. Overall a very good book and a quick read.

Another good read in Ms Stanley's Bourbon Brothers series. Lots of heat and an all-round entertaining read.

I LOVE a story where two characters meet in the most hilarious way. There is just the right blend of spice and humor that make this quick read a must! Bourbon, office supplies and carpentry. Readers, hold onto your chair because this book will have you taking Woodshop 101 by the time you are finished!

control freak eve mcgrath meets her match makes-no-promises nick baker in a taste of you. she's the event coordinator extraordinaire who manages the blue mountain distillery's tasting room and her mother with a notebook filled with to-do lists and a special love of office supplied. he's a recovering alcoholic whose father is a raging alcoholic who is contracted to refinish the tasting room space in time for eve's mother's big society function.

basically, it's all a disaster waiting to happen. and it falls apart pretty much the way you think. except, nick doesn't fall off the wagon, which is good. and the connection that he and eve develop is real and strong and oh-so-sexy.

she's so tightly wound and something about him spins her out of control in a way that feels so liberating. and being with her makes nick want to make promises that he will keep. so much so that even when things feel hopeless you have hope that they'll make it through in the end because as unlikely as it is, they are meant to be.

i love it when obstacles have stakes, but are also things you can overcome. it makes you feel like the characters really earn their happy endings. both nick and eve have enough baggage between them that whatever happiness they earn feels deserved. it's a nice thing, actually.

'A Taste of You' By Teri Anne Stanley is book Three in the "Bourbon Brothers" series. This is the story of Eve and Nick. This is actually the first book I have read by Ms. Stanley so for me this was a standalone book.
This was a cute romance that brought Nick and Eve together...and it worked. Nick and Eve were both different in how the approached things in life and really seem to have totally different take on things. But in the end they came together and were able to work through the issues they had. I will be looking for more books by Ms. Stanley.

This is a truly heartwarming tale of two people who have reacted in very different ways to having alcoholic fathers. She’s something of a control freak, with a real fetish for stationery which she stores in her ‘magic closet’. He’s determined not to make promises or plans, only striving to support his Mum largely because of his feelings of guilt. The two meet when Eve tries to discover what has happened to the carpenter she’d employed to build the new tasting and visitor centre at her family Blue Mountain distillery. The carpenter in question is Nick’s father, and Nick has returned because his father is in hospital. That puts Eve in a real quandary as a huge charity event is being set up to coincide with the opening of the centre and if it isn’t finished all her carefully organised plans will be thwarted - to say nothing of the state her Mum will be in! As she tries to inveigle Nick into taking over from his Dad and finishing the job, their back stories, attraction and the Bourbon all have a role to play in this enthralling story!

I was impressed how the author dealt with some difficult issues and helped her characters grow and develop through the story. Don’t assume it is all a negative tale, there are plenty of laugh out loud moments - especially in that Magic closet! There are hot, steamy encounters and some bad language in this story but not enough to detract from an enjoyable story from my point of view. If you like your stories where issues are dealt with and opposites attract despite their differences and reticence, you could well thoroughly enjoy escaping into this story like I did!

I requested and was given a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.
