Taste the Heat: (Fire and Fury Book Five) Kindle Edition

by Avery Kingston (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 48 ratings
That crazy redhead.

Little did people know how much those words stung. Lovers would peg Keith as obnoxious, too moody, overactive, and move on.

Then he meets chef Jonathan Hunt, who makes his mouth water. Meaty, bulging biceps. A voice smooth as honey. Solid, brooding and strong. He’s a heartier fare than what Keith would normally choose, but he might be the missing ingredient in Keith's abysmal social life.

To Jonathan, Keith is a picture-perfect dish. Eyes as blue as the ocean, killer grin, high cheekbones, a sprinkle of freckles peppering his nose. Sure, he’s got a pinch of selfish, a tad bit of spoiled, and heaping spoonfuls of artistic bravado and humor. Even so, something about this goofy redhead makes Jonathan crave more.

But will Keith still think Jonathan is the hottest thing on the menu when he discovers he’s got a kid back at home?

Dear Readers: Taste the Heat is book five in the Fire and Fury series but it can be read as a standalone. It begins the tale of Keith and Jonathan's love story.

If you want to read the other books in the series, books 1-3 focus on one couple, (Scott and Tori) and those must be read in order. You can read part one of Scott and Tori’s story in Chasing Fire, part two in Smoke and Mirrors and part three in Burn for You. Book four, Fighting the Blaze begins the journey of the secondary characters, continuing on to this book, Taste the Heat

All books are meant for a mature audience.

    It’s hard to put into words how a book has shaken you. Your emotions are all over the place, you’re left speechless yet want to give so much praise. And I hope I do this book the justice it deserves.

    But it is simple really.

    Johnathan and Keith are everything I wasn’t expecting and everything I needed.

    Real emotions play out with each character. Insecurities being their own worst enemy and being showcased completely here. Some may find these characters not being able to emphasize and rush to conclusions, their flaws unappealing, but what Avery Kingston does here is uncover complete real fears we all have and can relate to. We connect to these character beyond their fictional dilemas.

    The vulnerability we see with both Keith and Jonathan was too raw. It caught me off guard. Emotions I didn’t know I’d feel, came forward. Their pain, I felt. Their loss, I felt. Their fear, I felt. I felt so much for both these men. I saw myself in both these men. My connection with them will forever be linked. I will always feel them.

    Mental illness sometimes takes a backroad when it comes to fictional characters in the romance world. It’s not talked about much because it’s not sexy, it’s not romantic. Guess what? It’s a real issue that real people struggle each and everyday. It’s not pretty, it’s not easy, but reading about a hero in a story who is struggling to keep up float and is working through his issues, finds love and allows himself to be loved? That is beautiful and worth reading.

    Top read of 2020 for me, hands down, I cannot see how this story will ever be topped.

    Jonathan and Keith forever.

    Taste The Heat was my first M/M romances and I was surprised how much I appreciated the story. While it’s not my chosen genre, I think Avery did an exceptional job at sharing Jonathan and Keith’s Story.

    Both men have an air of confidence about them and it can get in the way of what’s right and wrong. Reading this I found myself in the mix rooting for them both. Avery teased my emotions of the protective friend for these two guys and I loved every minute of it.

    It’s rare to find such compelling storytelling today but Avery knocked it out of the park with this one. Keith is a rich boy with a heart of gold, while Jonathan has worked for everything he’s got. When they meet, sparks fly abc emotions soar as they navigate the road to their happily ever after.

    I enjoyed how Avery inserted Tori and Seth’s story within the pages but from Keith’s POV. It was like coming home.

    I’ll be going back and reading the books I’ve missed now. While I did read an ARC of this book, I also ordered the kindle version as well.

    Keith hit me in the feels. Hard. I loved him as Tori's fun-loving, supportive best friend who always knows the perfect thing to say in the previous books. I wasn't expecting him to come for us with such depth and emotion as he fought himself, and when he decides to fight for Jonathan and his daughter. Keith and Jonathan are two beautiful, vulnerable souls that I absolutely could not get enough of.

    The characters really drew me in at the start of the book. As it went on they didn't gain any depth and felt high schoolish in their reactions at times. The author was dealing with some heavy issues in the plot like mental illness and dubious consent/ emotional abuse. We saw the characters issues but not their work to get through them. It was just implied they'd done it so it felt a bit like poof all taken care of.

    So I will start with saying I usually do not read M/M romance novels. But I have adored Keith since the beginning of the Fire and Fury series. Plus I love Avery as an author so I couldn’t pass it up. Let’s just say I adored Keith before and now I’m just overwhelming in love with him. He was so genuine and kind and had flaws that were so relatable. I will be honest. It took me 300 pages to like Jonathon. He made me angry at times but I think he was a good character for how most people view mental illness as “pill popping”. Which is very far from the truth. But he redeemed himself with the rain scene. So I’ll forgive him.

    Great book. Wonderful emotions. Just read it!

    This story took me by surprise. It made me feel so much! I cried, I laughed, I giggled and had a knot in my throat more often than not. Fabulous story! I can't get enough of these characters and the back story about mental health was heartbreaking. I want to read more about Mari and her 'gift'. Loved every moment of this emotional read.
