Taste of Honey (Taste of Honey Series) by Julie Castle – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Taste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a three in one! It has- The Gift, The Commander’s Club, and Once in Love. Each one is it’s own short romance erotica that are all super steamy, dom/sub, and bdsm stories. You start off with The Gift, which is a librarian secret admirer fantasy. Penny is a librarian who started getting gifts left for her at work. They are scandalous and left with them are notes that shock her, but at the same time turns her on. After receiving an invitation to meet at a hotel she can’t help but go to find out who this naughty man is. She’s both excited and shocked when she finds out who’s behind her reddened skin. She finds out submission can be fun and powerful!
Next comes The Commander’s Club, a book about Courtney who is a journalist undercover. But her cover isn’t as good as she thought and she’s thrown into the deep end of a huge FBI investigation into a BDSM club. Ty is working as a slave trainer and scoops her up to keep her protected. With her ID in question he starts her training quickly. Courtney is to feisty for her own good and learns quickly that, that can be a bad thing for a sub/dom club. Can Ty protect her and get her out before anyone finds out who she really is? Will she get her story or become one!
The last story in the book is Once In Love, which is about Laura who is in trouble. She’s been accused of stealing, fired from her job, interrogated by the police, and then mugged! Without a job and her stuff she is stranded in Paris. When she’s offered a temp position as a courtesan she’s intrigued by the idea. She reads a lot of Erotica and she can’t help but be tempted. But once her Dom find’s out who she is and that she has to fake it, she’s certain he will dump her to the side for someone else. Nick has been battered by an ex-wife and he’s turning into a workaholic. His sister talks him into going to the courtesan auction, but he’s already decided not to bid. He has more important things. When he spots a redhead on the catwalk he sees not only her innocence, but also her lust. Abruptly leaving he can’t imagine her ending up with a hurtful dom. He out bids everyone and has her sent to his summer vacation spot. Throwing her into a submission course is not only fun, but healing. Can he fall for someone else? Can he ever trust anyone? Laura has big plans for when she finally can afford to leave Paris. She wants to make her art and have a studio. Can she put aside her plans and imagine another future?
Such a great set of stories. All very steamy and hot hot hot. If you are not into BDSM books these are not for you. But if you don’t mind any of the stuff that comes with a Sub/Dom relationship, then grab this one! You won’t be disappointed!!
