A Taste of Danger: Subparheroes Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 174 ratings

An unlikely rookie superhero and a dog shifter beer enthusiast team up to stop a nefarious supernatural plot.

Food reviewer Scott Dixon didn’t just lose his job—he started getting premonitions linked to random tastes, a new ability he’s not sure how to manage. When an interview lands him a position using his visions to help people and stop criminals, Scott finds himself chasing bootleggers who create beverages specially formulated to control people with psychic abilities. The trail leads to upstate New York, where he meets a sexy craft brewer who takes his breath away, but might be more than he appears, testing Scott’s trust.

Craft brewer and Belgian Malinois shifter Gage Merrick never fit in with his law enforcement family. He loves beer and spent years developing brews designed to taste good to different types of shifters. When he meets Scott, sparks fly. But Gage’s passion for paranormally optimized beverages raises Scott’s suspicions, threatening their chance at happiness.

Will Gage be the love of Scott’s life, or will their affair leave a bitter aftertaste?

A Taste for Danger is a feel-good paranormal super-powered hero MM romance romp filled with secret agents, found family, good beer, quirky humor, sexy shifters, soulful psychics, and supernatural skullduggery!

This book is part of the multi-author MM Romance Subparheroes series and is also linked to the Fox Hollow series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Morgan Brice is the romance pen name of bestselling author Gail Z. Martin. Morgan writes urban fantasy MM paranormal romance, with plenty of action, adventure and supernatural thrills to go with the happily ever after. Gail writes epic and urban fantasy, with less romance, more explosions.

All of the modern-day Morgan Brice and Gail Z. Martin series crossover, so characters from one series appear in cameos and on page in important secondary roles in books from other series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the more you read the more the expanded universe of friendships and connections becomes clear.

Morgan and Gail believe that paranormal elements make any story even better, and her worlds are full of ghosts, psychics, shifters, creatures, vampires, monster hunters, and magic.

She's also a huge fan of the TV show Supernatural. (Chibi art by Kamidiox)

A New Agent
I adore the Subparhero’s series. This is the story of Scott a food reviewer recruited by SPAM a paranormal agency, he thought was the canned meat company. His skill is clairgustance a taste of a smell. This book has very funny dialogue, dangerous situations, and unique characters. In the town of Fox Hollow you will find friends, family and love. I seriously recommend this book and series.

    Inner monologues for the win. Gage’s Mal was quite vocal when he realized that Scott was their mate. Scott knew on some level that he belonged with Gage. Non communication caused a bit of chaos but the shifters rallied and saved their new friend. Good story.

    This was a fun, fast-paced book. I liked Scott's ability, how it flooded his mouth with a flavor depending on the situation he was in. Gage was a sweetheart and I loved his shifter side. He makes specialty craft brews for his fellow paranormal beings. Unfortunately that puts him under SPAM'S radar while they look for whomever is responsible for trafficking dangerous ingredients. Scott and Gage meet and there is an instant attraction and both feel they could be mates. As these two get to know each other, the investigation intensifies. But a lack of honesty about Scott's job could put everything at risk. I really loved the overall feeling of the community. The plot around the investigation was interesting.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024
    Although I like the Fox Hollow world, Scott's constant dithering and repetitive dialogue, where he mentally decides something, then contradicts himself by saying or doing the opposite, then internally flipflopping back to "maybe" or "possibly", then doing it all again a short time later, bugged me.

    I'm not sure if the ARC was the final or uncorrected version, and I noted less than half a dozen proofreading issues, but I think another run through to clean up at least one continuity issue would be helpful. Just note that, based on the way it is written in my copy, the time frame between the end of Chapter 6 and the beginning of chapter 7 is about 15 hours or so. I couldn't figure out why one MC was jumping to conclusions until, finally, in chapter 8, it says the event happened "yesterday."

    Overall, I liked the story, but I think a few items needed to be tightened up to make the story flow better.

    I think all of the Fox Hollow books are fun and contain some sense of suspense and danger to them. I was excited to read it because I loved the whole "subparheroes" addition to the storyline. The fact that Scott got hired by a company named SPAM made me laugh and I was totally for this book.

    Scott losing his initial job and the way they did it was so wrong. But I did wonder if it was orchestrated at exactly the right time his powers became stronger.

    I like Gage and Scott together. I like the characters. The story is good. I really liked reading about Gages brewery. All the different shifters getting involved in the story was fun.

    I thought it was a good, fun read.

    Scott and Gage are going to be fine. Scott, a member of SPAM, has the pleasure of tasting danger, or should I say he tastes different things based on the person or situations. Gage is a malinois shifter who owns a brewery and comes across his mate. I loved this book and it was great visiting Fox Hollow again. Highly Recommended

    I really enjoyed this story. Scott has the gift of taste which is good for a foodie. When he gets let go from his job SPAM hires him but there’s a catch. Gage is a brewer in Fox Hollow, love this world, and a Belgian Malinois shifter. Each have a love language, secrets and a deadly mystery to solve.

    A Taste of Danger

    Morgan Brice

    Subpar Super Heroes

    Part of a multi-author series about subpar heroes and villains mixed with romance, this entry by Brice features food reviewer Scott who loses his job, applies to over a hundred and suddenly receives a 'SPAM' call resulting in a perfect job offer.

    He's always had the right taste to identify good food, but recently, strange food tastes in his mouth seems to foretell even stranger occurrences.

    Clairgustance, the ability to taste something that wasn’t present ... Aka physic impressions via tasting.

    He's delighted that he's been hired by a test kitchen for canned ham, packing up his belongings and moving to Albany sharpish, even if the medical paperwork has strange questions and he finds himself being fitted for a tactical vest...

    I mean yes, it takes him that long to figure out he's not going to be working 'with' food, insomuch as working out the future with his tastebuds.

    His first assignment as an intelligent asset is undercover as a food critic in ... Fox Hollow. Fans of Brice will recognise the name.

    He's been sent to find out who's behind ingredients of dubious quality being smuggled in from Canada.

    Gage is a Belgian Malinois shifter, whose hobby, now main job, is making shifter friendly beers to help them get tipsy. He hangs and runs with Russ and Liam plus Drew and Noah; again, regulars of the Fox Hollow books will know these characters but it isn't difficult to get a feel for them anyway.

    There's some great, humorous scenes in there, particularly the 'answerphone' options and system for SPAM and the cure doggyness of Gabe helping a friend with his planting.

    We also have Easter eggs for other Brice books such as references to FBSI and se well known characters and cases.

    Never fear though, despite peril, dastardly villains and fights, we get our HEA.

    This is lots of fun, sweet and a little spicy.

    Plus .. the "Internut".

    Reviewed in Canada on September 12, 2024
    This is an above par story about a sub par superhero who joins SPAM and gets thrown into the deep end of chasing some bad guys. I giggled through the beginning of this book where Morgan Brice has food reviewer Scott puzzling about what SPAM wants to hire him for and getting it totally wrong. I enjoyed the whole thing especially the squirrels at the end. Need more squirrel shifter stories.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Scott & Gage
    Reviewed in Australia on October 7, 2024
    Scott has a strange ability, he gets a taste in his mouth that can mean good or bad. He looses his job and gets another as an investigator for a government branch that deals with paranormals and psychics. He meets Gage at his brewery and they hit it off, they find out they’re mates.
    The story is sweet and intriguing, I enjoyed it very much.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fated mates, food blogs, shifters, and secrets
    Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2024
    3.25/5 I had a bit of trouble completely suspending my disbelief for this one. Shifters and superpowers? No problem. Witches and magic drug runners? Sure. A secret organisation that hires a food blogger to be a secret agent with two weeks of mostly PowerPoint presentation training? Really? So I was annoyed by that set up and then also annoyed by Scott’s utter incompetence. (Hardly surprising, given his lack of training, but frustrating nonetheless.)

    The big point of contention between Scott and Gage is Gage not knowing the truth about Scott. Given that Gage is a suspect and they’ve known one another for two seconds, I’m astonished he would imagine for a moment that Scott would have instantly confessed—except that *Scott* does tell several other people in that short span of time (including an incredibly incompetent accidental reveal), so then I sort of wound up back on Gage’s side.

    I thought the two of them were cute together in the moments they did have, and I was entertained by Gage’s Mal. Scott’s power is intriguing (but truly, not super useful, lol.) It was very insta-love, but I do give more leeway in a fated mate paranormal story than I do in a contemporary. I think the tone of the book didn’t quite hit comic enough for the absurd things to seem totally plausible to me. (That being said, “surveillance squirrels” were hilarious and awesome!)

    There were a few parts that seemed repetitive (where yet another person was being told the same info we already knew, etc.), but that didn’t happen too often. I liked that Scott and Gage had intimate moments that weren’t just spicy, and I appreciated that the aftermath of the adventure involved doctors, wound care, and actual mental and physical recovery. I liked the way Scott felt that he fit into Fox Hollow, and I enjoyed how Gage’s friends rallied around him. I can definitely imagine these two being happy here.

    I received an ARC from GRR. This is my honest review.
