'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.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Nick and Eve seem to be opposites but they compliment each other so well! Nick doesn't make plans and Eve is a compulsive planner, and both had alcoholic fathers. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they have a spark between them and act on it.

I loved that even though Nick really did not want to work at a distillery, he saw how Eve's mother was treating her and how devastated she would be if he didn't bail her out of the mess. Plus, he really did owe her since he used up the "spare" wood that was supposed to be used for her job.

It was great watching both Eve and Nick work through their issues and find a way to repair the problems in their lives. Even Nick's father was inspired to get the help that he needed, and eventually Eve's mother!

The book was a fun read and had lots of laughs through out! It really was hard to put down as I wanted to keep reading and find out what was going to happen next!

A TASTE OF YOU is one of those books that just put a smile on your face; a feel good story with lots of depth. 

I really enjoyed how Stanley took emotionally scarred individuals, who clearly had some truly difficult issues to overcome, but didn't make that the focus of the story- telling. 

Eve was amazing! Her strength and ability to accept and even joke at her own flaws but still not let it bog her down made her one of my most favorite contemporary romance characters this year.

I received this ARC copy of A Taste of You from Entangled Publishing, LLC - Lovestruck. This is my honest and voluntary review. A Taste of You is set for publication July 10, 2017

Cute read which I really enjoyed.  We introduce Nick into the fold who is a man running from his past.  He has to come home to Kentucky where he ran 5 years ago from when his father ends up in the hospital since he has no one else.  Its the last place he wants to be when an unexpected visitor shows up at his dads house.  
Eve is a force to be reckoned with, she is a person who is not afraid to go after what she wants in life.  When checking on where her contractor is she meets Nick who she convinces him to fill in until his dad can go back to work since she is on a deadline.  Nick has his own demons that he deals with and doesn't want to hurt Eve, so he keeps his heart closed and is careful with others.  But what he doesn't realize is that Eve has her own problems in life and own quirks to deal with life.  No one is perfect, can these two lost souls find there way in life. 
Honest review in exchange for ARC.

I really enjoyed this tale of love and addiction. On the one hand there’s Eve’s fun addiction to office supplies, lists and organising everything down to the last colour-coded minute. On the other, both she and Nick have alcoholic fathers and both have been shaped by their upbringings. This book could easily have gone two different ways – one making light of the whole thing and finding a quick, simple fix, or getting in too deep and making this story a little dark and depressing. Thankfully, Teri Anne Stanley does an excellent job of finding the middle ground, ending up with a tale that’s fun and sexy with necessary depths and no easy fixes to difficult situations.

I loved both Eve and Nick. They’re both strong people who aren’t afraid of hard work, even if they’re complete opposites when it comes to dealing with the after-effects an alcoholic parent has left in their lives. Eve plans everything down to the last second to make sure nothing can go wrong again, while Nick doesn’t make plans or promises – that way he never lets anyone down. They both have plenty of quirks and issues, yet somehow they manage to compliment each other, treating each other with patience and respect and forming a great team.

I also really appreciated the way alcoholism was handled throughout. Nick might have been sober for five years, but he knows he isn’t cured and he works hard to stay clear of temptation. He’s also turned his life around completely, and though he might not want to help his father, he still does. He’s a good man, mostly because he’s willing to work at it. I also liked how Eve and her sister had things to deal with too, even if they weren’t alcoholics themselves. There are no quick fixes here and I appreciated that distinction.

Which makes it all sound a lot heavier than it was, but it isn’t because this is also fun and flirty, romantic and sexy. It was a feel-good tale with heart, charm and depth, and as much as I enjoyed the last book (A Shot With You), this is the one that made me want to read the first so that I could get the full taste of the series.

Eve and Nick may not be perfect, but they are perfect for each other. She needs someone to believe in her and encourage her to believe in herself. He needs to forgive himself past mistakes and work his way through his truckload of heartaches. Ms. Stanley is a miracle worker. Nick and Eve are frustrating, heartbreaking and captivating. Perfection is a state of mind that may begin with the best of intentions, yet turn out anything but. With A Taste of You, Terri Anne Stanley shows readers there is beauty in being flawed. There's no more powerful message than that.

Eve and nick are so meant to be together. Even after all these years, they can't resist each other. Smokin hot. Nick must settle his demons in him before anything can happen. Seriously loved this book!

Eve McGrath has decided that her family's new bourbon tasting center will open without a hitch, and nothing is going to stand in her way.  When the contractor she hired suddenly stops showing up for work, she takes matters into her own hands and shows up at his house.  Eve learns that her contractor has been hospitalized, so to keep the project on schedule, her only choice is to convince his son to finish the job.

Nick Baker doesn't do commitment.  He takes life as it comes -- one day at a time.  He's not too thrilled to be back home, taking care of a father who never took much interest in taking care of him, but when sassy, spunky Eve shows up to demand that he take over his dad's job, he's gotten himself in over his head.  All he knows is that, as a recovering alcoholic, a bourbon distillery and tasting center is probably not the ideal work environment.  There's something about Eve, though, that makes him want to prove that he can commit.  That he can work at a distillery without succumbing to temptation.  That he can be the person she needs.

I actually really loved this book!  I was a bit nervous going in because I somehow missed that this is #3 in a series when I requested it.  There's no backstory necessary to enjoy this plot, though, so I was able to dive right in without feeling like I'd missed something.

I thought that both Eve and Nick were great characters -- particularly Nick -- and their struggles and conflicts didn't feel contrived at all.  Their relationship seemed to develop naturally, without any instalove or manufactured angst.  Now, don't get me wrong -- there's plenty of drama in this book.  Don't get the impression that it's all smooth sailing!  Eve and Nick go through their fair share of disagreements and setbacks, but it all felt like it could happen in real life, which is something that I most definitely appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, my first by Teri Anne Stanley, and I would love to go back and read the other two books in this series.  If you like contemporary romance, you could do a whole lot worse than <i>A Taste of You</i>.

<b>I received a free advance copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.</b>

Excellent read!  It's fun, flirty, and entertaining.  Through the humor you can really feel the depth of these characters and how far they've come.  It's very well written and has a great story at the core.

Eve McGrath works with her mother organizing all the charitable activities her family is involved with.  They are currently working on tasting event to be held at the family distillery.  So when it looks like the carpenter she hired to finish the new tasting center as skipped out on her she goes tracking him down.  That's when she meets Nick Baker.  He's the carpenters son and the one she has to convince to finish the job when she discovers his father has messed up his leg.  Luckily he finds her irresistible and ok he may owe her a pile of reclaimed wood for the new bar.  But working at a distillery?  Nope not a good idea.  Maybe he can just stick around long enough to get her wood for her then turn everything over to his father again.

A great quick read and one I recommend to everyone.

I was a little disappointed to realise this was the third book of the series, but I really didn’t feel I’d missed anything by not having read the first two books.

A wonderful, fun and exciting story, A Taste of You has fabulous characters and captures your total attention from the outset. I’ll definitely be reading more by this author.

Eve is an organizational addict. She likes to plan each and every thing. And she can see her plans for the Blue Mountain distillery's new tasting and visitors center crashing in front of her. 
Nick Baker doesn't make promises or plans and is back in Kentucky just to help his dad get back on his feet. And somehow gets roped into completing the tasting and visitors center for Eve. 
A taste of you is an adorable and light hearted read. Some of situations Nick and Eve find themselves in was laugh out loud funny. 
A cute, sexy book that I had fun reading.

What happens when you mix a laid back kind of guy, Nick, with extreme list maker female, Eve?  You get an amazingly humorous (will have you laughing spontaneously), heartwarming, sweet with a bit of sexiness added, read.  A Taste of You has likeable characters, with amazing chemistry, that will pull you into their lives and have you rooting for them until the last page.  This book may be part of a series but is thoroughly enjoyable on its own.  This author is also new to me however; I am looking forward to reading more. 
**I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an Honest Review**

This review contains slight SPOILERS. Paragraphs containing spoilers will be marked clearly.

The technical stuff: The cover of this book is drop dead sexy. If I hadn't already wanted to read it, that cover would have had me clicking to see what the story was about.  This book is technically book 3 of the “Bourbon Brothers” series, and although the first books in the series are fabulous stories and should be read for that reason, you *do not* have to read them to enjoy this one. There is both on screen sex and cursing (including f-bombs) in this book so if those will cause you to leave a bad review of the story, then you should skip this one. 

As someone who is familiar with the affects that alcohol can have on a family, on a life, this book touched a nerve that I wasn't expecting, and I mean that 100% in a positive way. *SPOILERS to end of paragraph* Nick's struggle with alcoholism (does he want to kiss Eve because she's sexy or because she's been drinking bourbon?) is just so beautifully written. I love that Ms. Stanley didn't write the usual romance “I'm an alcoholic but I can just have one drink and be totally fine, no big deal” fodder that frustrates me to no end when I read it. Instead of taking the easy (and totally ridiculous) road, Ms. Stanley wrote a character who knew that even one drink would be too much for him and he wouldn't take that risk. Even after being sober for five years, Nick knows that it's better not to tempt fate. So often alcoholism is a throw-away plot, used to make the character seem sympathetic, but that isn't the case with Nick at all, it is a part of him, and it is never glossed over  or treated as something simple and I LOVED that. 

But despite the serious nature of Nick's backstory, this book is full of the laugh out loud moments that I have come to expect and love in Ms. Stanley's books so please don't be scared off by that previous paragraph. This story is still a lighthearted and adorable love story that will make you laugh.  

Eve was a little bit neurotic (in a good way) and incredibly organized, but she was also a little bit of a hot mess. She was so determined to keep the family legacy going that she wasn't living her own life. Watching her change and grow over the course of this book was fabulous, and I especially enjoyed her part in the final few chapters. As someone with an addiction to office supplies, I found myself laughing and LOVING her fetish for post-its and paper clips and pens that write oh so smoothly (oh maybe I'm projecting on that last one). 

If you enjoy a book about two fabulous characters who fall in love despite the differences that should keep them apart, and a story about things that go so much deeper than the usual fluffy romance novel fodder (which I also love so that is not meant to be an insult!) than you should give this book a read. It was a fabulous, wonderful way to end this series. 

I requested and was generously granted an ARC of this book. I was under no obligation at all to write this review or to pre-order the book. I did both of those things because I very much enjoyed the story.

Oh wow! It's such a fun read, I absolutely loved this book. It's one of those amazing stories which warm your heart, and make you fall in love. Beautifully written, it has great plot, fun & interesting main characters, and it is very well-written. I'd definitely recommend it to all contemporary romance readers, it's a must read book.
Eve is well-organized. She likes to make notes, plan ahead, and know exactly what she is going to do and when she is going to do it. Right now she is working on a very important project and need her carpenter to show up. When he didn't she has to go and find him. Unfortunately, she found a lot more than a carpenter... or may be I should say fortunately, it depends on how you look at it. In any case now she does have a carpenter, her work is on track, but her heart? That's a different story all together.
Nick doesn't make promises. He likes to take on step at a time, one day at a time. He is all wrong for someone like Eve. He knows that, Eve knows that, everyone knows that and yet those two simply can't resist each other. Nick has to return home sooner or later. He can't stay with his father forever and when he leaves what will happen to Eve and her expectations?
I was given a complimentary copy of this book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's a great read so do check it out. :)

I loved this book!  Eve's family owns a distillery that is preparing to launch their tasting and visitor center when her contractor disappears.  Unable to reach him, she goes to his house and finds his son, Nick.  Nick agrees to help with the work his dad left undone, but wasn't prepared for his attraction to Eve.

Both Eve and Nick come from similar backgrounds, both bad, and aren't sure what to do with each other.  Add in Nick's believe that he's unworthy and you have all the makings for a great novel  I loved the characters and felt invested in their story.  I wanted them to find a way to overcome their backgrounds and find their HEA.

This is a wonderful series and fans of the genre will love it.  I've added the author to my must read authors' list.

The synopsis of the book sounded really good, and when I started reading it I was really excited! IT sounded cute. But, for me, it was not what I was expecting and just an ok read.

This was a great read.  The H and h were both very likeable and you just can’t help pulling for them to find their HEA.  Eve McGrath has to work with Nick Baker to finish the visiting center for her family’s Bourbon distillery.  Nick’s father is an alcoholic who was supposed to be doing the work, but he’s gotten sick.  Nick has come back filled with resentment of having to take care of his dad who did so little to take care of him when he was a kid.  Nick is facing his own problems with alcohol so he’s wary about working at a distillery.  But he can’t resist the Eve’s appealing sweetness.  Eve is coping with her own family problems since her father was also an alcoholic and her mother has trouble coping with that reality and the effect on her daughters.  
 
Nick acknowledges how attracted he is to Eve and yet feels that she deserves better than a former alcoholic guy who is the son of the town drunk.  Eve is sensitive enough to look past that to the real Nick and return his interest.  The book is basically about how they learn to come to terms with who they are and what they mean to each other.  What makes this so enjoyable is that they do so with wit and good humor.  They aren’t all angsty about their personal problems all the time, but instead exchange some fun repartee that demonstrate right off that Nick is more than the alcoholic failure that he regards himself as.  
 
I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

*Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review*
This was a cute read! I enjoyed reading this book and I like the cover. I haven't read the other books in the series, but I didn't feel like I was missing out on any important information. I am interested in the other characters though so I may go back and read the first one. This is a cute, sweet, sexy book and I'm really glad I got the chance to read it.
