Just one taste isn't enough…

I ran into Rex Keene—literally—when I was trying to catch my flight and his muscled, tattooed arms stopped my fall. 
Then our flight gets canceled, and we're stranded in the same hotel room together...it ended up being the steamiest night of my life. 
All I knew is that I had to see him again.

I just didn’t expect him to show up a week later in the restaurant I manage…as our new head chef. 
But the generous, tender man I spent that night with is gone; instead he’s arrogant, demanding, and terrorizing the staff.
But he won’t give up until we’re together – and I’m not sure I can stay away. 
Which man is real? 
Who is Rex Keene?

From bestselling author Opal Carew, take a bite of Meat.

My Review  3 STARS

**Copy Provided by Netgalley and St Martin's Press for an honest review**

This is a fun fast read and takes off at a run from the very beginning, however I struggled with the almost immediate relationship that they had.

After literally bumping into each other in an airport corridor and sparks flying they end up seeing each other again again at the departure gate.  With a delayed flight and Rebecca in tears after an email from her family over her recently deceased aunt , Rex consoles her and they spend some time together until their flight is cancelled.

Rex is a big tattooed chef, but is not quite what he seems, however he is extremely taken with Rebecca and is quite sure from the first night that Rebecca is the one that he wants, especially when he find out that she works at the same hotel that he has just been hired for.

The book has a good few steamy moments, good friends and one person taking advantage of another, but overall is a fairly decent quick read.
