Good little
widow Sophia Brown always follows the rules. When the producer of a cooking
competition requests an amuse-bouche,
the chefs stick with proteins. Sauces. A savory concoction. She has only one
shot to impress the judges on A
Taste of Heaven. But in a moment of defiance, she creates an
extraordinary dessert, one that combines both the bitter and the sweet, just
like her own life.
That one
bite changes everything.
After a
year grieving for her dead husband, forty-seven-year-old Sophia is finally
ready to break out of her shell. Unfortunately, there is a large, angry
obstacle standing in her way. Scottish chef Elliott Adamson has a chip on his
shoulder the size of Loch Ness, and he’s blocking her path to victory.
Spurred by
her daughters, she embarks on a poignant adventure that takes her from the
wildflower fields of Vermont to the wind-swept vista of North Berwick,
Scotland. Fear, courage, and inspiration from unlikely places will mark this
journey, and Sophia is determined to persevere until the very end.

Liza’s Review:
I have really enjoyed Penny Watson's books in the past and when
I was given the chance to read her newest release early, I jumped at it.
I really loved both main characters from the very beginning.
Sophia is so laid back and go with the flow while Elliott is all it's my way of
the highway. I just knew they would find a way to work together, and not only
in the kitchen. I really felt like Sophia came into her own as she competed on
the cooking show A Taste of Heaven. Yes Sophia went with the flow a bit in the
beginning, but she found her voice and improved her mad cooking skills the
longer she was on the show with Elliott. I think Elliott learned from Sophia
and even became a better chef because of their time on the show. I loved Sophia
and Elliott started being called Beauty and the Beast as I totally saw Sophia
see past Elliott's beast-like actions and it totally worked for them as a couple. I
loved the chemistry between Sophia and Elliott both in the kitchen and the
bedroom. They fed off of one another and just meshed so well to me. I felt like
Elliott's character grew the most over the course of the story, as he started
to be open to more ideas from others. I felt like Sophia always had the
strength she showed to the end, yet had lost herself a bit in being a
care-giver for so many years. Sophia and Elliott brought out the best in each
other.
I really enjoyed A Taste
of Heaven. It was a really fast, fun sweet and sexy read. The story totally
kept me engaged and I even would love to see some of the secondary characters
get their own stories in the future.
