Blurb:

London’s saucy up-and-coming chef, Eddie Tripp has just the right recipe to drive tragedy from the mind of Gideon Kent—and leave him senseless with desire.

From Soho to Norwich, there’s no escaping love.

A TASTE OF FOREVER

An award-winning chef with his own restaurant and an inexhaustible passion, Gideon Kent once had everything. Then came tragedy. It stole more than Gideon’s home. He hasn’t cooked since.

Until Eddie Tripp. Fun-loving and vivacious, the Norfolk redhead’s a real up-and-comer in Gideon’s kitchen—and other places. Slim where Gideon’s broad, easy-going where Gideon is growley, he and Gideon seem polar opposites, and yet Eddie conjures flavors that would tempt anyone with a taste for perfection. The sauce of love is already simmering, and this pair is about to dine on the most delicious dish they’ve ever prepared. Because Eddie’s been Gideon’s missing ingredient all along.

Review:

What to say, what to say… let’s start off with, in a way these two men could not have been more polar opposites except for their love of cooking. The saying “Your perfect match is the opposite of you, because then you have a complete circle.” Fits them to a T!

When you first meet Gideon you can’t decide whether you want to: hit him, hug him, slap him or just plain cry. He has lost so much in a horrific accident, but the problem is, he acts like he’s moving on but really he is stuck in the trap of survivors guilt. He was a well-known chef who through the accident lost both his sense of taste and smell. Rendering him useless as a chef. The only thing he can do is manage the restaurant where he use to be the king. His pride and joy, his dream that he built and now he wallows in the fact, that he just manages it.

Eddie, on the others hand is the opposite. He is everything Gideon was, and truthfully he will be even better, in time. He is one of the chefs Gideon hires to take over when he can no longer cook.

Both men though are stubborn and blind. The two were attracted to each other from the start. It was great watching these two macho men dance around their feelings towards one another. Gideon’s accident left him full of unresolved rage that he refuses to get help for.

One night he overhears a conversation and took the contents the wrong way, sending him straight into a bottle of Jack. Eddie can’t stand seeing Gideon beat himself up so badly and decides to take pity on his boss and take care of him. (What a hardship right! Taking care of the man you’ve fallen for, but think you have no chance…. yeah we hear ya)

Through the liquid courage surging though his veins, he manages to somewhat tell Eddie th way he feels. Eddie is left confused. On one hand he can only hope that Gideon meant the words, but on the other could it have been the Jack talking. After avoiding the situation for a few days, Eddie takes matters into his own hands. May I say a bow down to you Eddie. Your take charge scene in the office not only rocked, it was smoking. A standing ovation Eddie for your prowess. Eddie definitely gets his answer, it wasn’t the jack talking. Life though can’t be that simple. After making a date with Gideon for later on that night, Eddie ran into some major trouble. He tried to let Gideon know, but unfortunately the message didn’t make it, though that was all on Gideon.

With Gideon’s past it sets off a storm that could have rivaled Hurricane Andrew, but once again Eddie forces Gideon to fac the truth. As the relationship builds, events happen to bring the couple closer, Gideon even begins seeking help for his problems. Slowly life begins to turn joyous. Gideon has what he never thought he’d feel again hope.

You know I will give no spoilers so I will leave you with this… The doctors say nothing physically is keeping Gideon’s senses locked away. Is Eddie the main to make all they’re dreams com true? Read and get your answer.

Overall Impression: 

4 * – I really liked it. Susan has such a way with words. She can weave a tale to the point in which you begin to feel as though you are the characters.

This book is definitely little lighter on the subject matter, but nevertheless just as strong and touching. I couldn’t imagine being in Gideon’s shoes, but Susan painted such a clear picture that you could actually envision what It would be like to live your life without two of your most prominent senses.

The way she wrote Eddie, spoke of a true knight. Someone willing to love and support you enough to make you feel whole. It tended at some points to make me envious he was just a character.

This book has proven once again to me that Susan deserves all the success she recieves. She is an amazingly talented writer with a flare for taking a subjects that would make some cringe and turning it into a beautifully written peice of art. I will continue being a Susan Mac Nicol fan and cant wait to read more from the Men of London series.  Make sure you get them, you definitely don’t want to miss out!
