I couldn't stop reading Taste of Surrender. I love forbidden romances, and this one hit all the right spots.
As Jasper has a crush on his brother Jesse's best friend Malachi.
Who everyone, including Jasper and Jesse, believes is straight. But Malachi has a secret he hasn't shared with anyone. He is actually bisexual and although known as a ladies man. His thoughts are constantly focused on his best friend's younger brother.
And when he finally gets his chance to kiss Jasper, he does, and a secret, forbidden romance ensues.
However, Malachi is in a band with Jesse and two other friends and Jesse has this big idea to get them seen by entering a competition in LA which if they win will launch their careers.
And it works.
Which means Malachi and Jasper have to say goodbye for good.
However, Malachi hopes that once the competition is over, they can find their way back together. But Jasper knows that will never happen, so he leaves for culinary school in Paris and tries to avoid all mentions of Malachi for the next three years.
Which he does until Jesse calls inviting Jasper to join the band on tour, and all those old feelings are reignited.
But how are Jasper and Malachi supposed to have a real relationship when they are sneaking around all the time and not being truthful with the people they love?
And with plenty of spicy moments, angst, and really likeable characters. This story was a truly enjoyable read. That I couldn't put down and one I would happily recommend to all.
