Melanie’s favorite part about writing is the actual wording sentence level stuff. She loves to put thoughts and feelings into the words that make a reader look over her shoulders because Melanie got into their head. She also loves to write dialogue. Her least favorite part of it all is plotting, as she is horrible at it. When she attempts to outline, she will just sit and stare at her screen. Tease is the 8th book in the Cloverleigh Farms Series, but it can be read as a standalone. I loved this billionaire, smalltown, fake fiancé, secret pinning, friends to lovers romance. Fake dating is my religion. I eat it up with no questions asked! So when this book was announced by the one and only queen of spicy small town romance, my excitement was naturally off the charts. GAH!! I knew Gianni and Ellie's story was going to be good just by getting glimpses of them in Ignite but Melanie Harlow just blew it out of the water with Taste!!!! I am SO obsessed with this story!! Like all the amazing stories by this author, Taste was full of hot and sexy moments, combustible chemistry and alllll the swoons!! I loved this story so much!

Using their secret code, she messages him that she needs him, and they agreed that whenever they used their language, the other one HAD to be there. Hutton and Felicity have been in each others lives since childhood. Best friends that have been secretly pinning for each other for along time.Remember last night when you asked me if I ever wanted to just rip someone’s clothes off and go at it?”

Anyway, what do you have against getting a solid ten inches tonight? Sounds like a good time to me." Being with her almost felt like a memory of something that hadn’t happened yet—maybe a memory of a dream." He's a sexy nerdy billionaire with a big heart, golden retriever personality, shy but not in the bedroom, protective, mature... I could go on and on. This is the kind of guy you add to your favorite book boyfriends list in the notes app LOL This book had everything you want in terms of it being an amazingly hot read. Honestly to me the best part is hottie Hutton and the absolute love he has to give. Supportive and amazing. Do you think there are really guys out there like this? the heroine becoming friends with her nemesis. We don’t need her in her life💁🏻‍♀️. Don’t try being friends please 🤦🏻‍♀️. The bad woman doesn’t need to be redeemed 😐 lol

Harlow gifts us a friend to lovers romance with two amazing characters that are the perfect balance for each other. I absolutely love Hutton. He is this amazing character with this hot little kink to him that just absolutely tore up the sheets! MMMmmm yes, please!

Faced with the fact that both their families know about the “engagement” and are really happy for them, they decide to keep the ruse for both their sakes. Felicity moves in. And suddenly, that big house is not enough for them to escape temptation. Whenever it comes to Melanie Harlow’s books, I never know what I’m going to get. But she never disappoints. And with this second generation of Cloverleigh Farm characters, my heart is full. This is the third book featuring the kids of the original set of characters from Cloverleigh Farms and Bellamy Creek; and I have loved every single one so much that I never want this series to end! And let’s not forget all of the delicious covers that Melanie’s been using for these books, it’s impossible to not want to read them all! Felicity has a catering business, and she’s off to her high school reunion. When she meets the mean girl from years ago, she realizes mean girls stay that way as adults. Under the pressure of an impossible situation, she lies. She tells people she’s engaged to Hutton. And then she calls him to save her. And he’s there, like he always said he would be. I love how real Felicity is. The stuff she thinks, what she does to try to control her anxiety and her bad thoughts, the way she’s trying to fight for her dream. The way she’s there for her sisters. The way she’s been pining for the one guy who always got her, but she never had the guts to go there.i loved cheeky, charming Gianni from the beginning. but also loved the sexy mature man he blossomed into. his love declaration will have me in a chokehold for the next few months, for real. Just—everything! This whole night was such a shit show! Nothing about it went right. I had all these high hopes and big plans, and now I’m going to die of hypothermia in room thirteen at the Pineview Motel with you.” Antes que nada, no es de los mejores libros de Melanie, tenía más altas expectativas, pero aun así es mucho mejor que sus últimos libros.

My one little dislike is that the heroine seemed to blow up over so many little things. It had me rolling my eyes a few times. She called the hero a liar, but every time her tells the truth she would totally freak out on him. He could never do anything right for her and that got a bit grating at certain parts. Regardless, Ellie's feelings get hurt. You see, she feels mostly invisible, to everyone else, but especially to Gianni, and that's what hurts the most. She doesn't get why she never stood a chance with him – even though she'd rather die than admit to thinking about him that way. And Gianni feels like he could never be enough for her either, but he never says it out loud. and you know what I loved above all else? THE RING! you're telling me that Felicity described her fake engagement ring to people and Hutton, HUTTON, finds and buys that exact same ring??!!!! UMM EXCUSE ME WHILE I THROW MY KINDLE ACROSS THE ROOM. I loved that and I loved that he just had the audacity to say:She’s always been a reader and her favorite books always have a love story in them somewhere, even if they are suspense, women’s fiction, or historical. After she outgrew Sweet Valley High, which took a while, she devoured romances by Lavyrle Spencer, her idol, and romantic suspense by Nora Roberts. Tanto Gianni como Ellie después de lo sucedido en el motel su actitud fue inmadura, un poco cobardes y fue un poco frustrante que era el /0% del libro y todavía no se veía su amor y es que esa parte del desarrollo del romance es lo que le falló a este libro porque el principio y el final fueron muy buenos. now, reading a romance where you share the same name as the heroine is kinda trippy. especially with how similar she was to me? was definitely freaking out. but that meant i could sympathise and connect with Ellie so much more.
