Customer Reviews

Talk about a red hot read!

I agree with what everyone else has said (except the Canadian reader, of course) that this book has everything an erotic romance should offer. A heroine torn between what she perceives as a family obligation and her own dreams, and a hero who helps her to learn the truth about what her grandfather intended with his bequest. Such a touching story about people at a crossroads in their lives. And so incredibly romantic! (Not to mention being the hottest thing I've ever read!)

Stunningly Wonderful!

I LOVED this book! Talk about hot! I was mad for Erin and Sebastian, and I thought the writing was superb. THE SWEETEST TABOO is everything I look for in a Blaze. In fact, it's everything I hope to find in a novel, but so rarely do. I can't wait to read the other books in this series, and I hope Ms. Kent writes more. I've already ordered as many books of hers that I can find. Wow!

Bring on the fire hose!

Alison Kent has written a totally breath-stealing romance. This book will give you the tingles from head to toe. And the sex scenes are definitely taboo! Whoa! The two romances here are some of the best I've ever read. What a super start to the Men To Do series!

Hot with a Plot!

I like a good, spicy romance, and a book by Alison Kent is about as good as it gets--while still having a plot. The Sweetest Taboo's bad boy hero is delicious, and the heroine's relationship with her friends is realistic and funny. This book is a fast-paced, fun fantasy that kept me reading late into the night. Enjoy!

Marvelous blend of romance and erotica

Inheriting her grandfather's bar gave Erin Thatcher endless hours of work but not satisfaction. Yet the bar is her legacy from the grandfather who gave up everything to care for her, and Erin intends it to succeed. Late hours and restlessness lead to imaginative interludes with the man in the apartment above hers. Elevator rides, chance encounters in the parking garage or mailroom make her long for more. Then Erin reads an article that motivates her to break all the rules and pursue her desire. She wants sex with a bad boy, a rake, a rapscallion with no guilt and no worries. Sebastian Gallo lives a very controlled life, allowing no one to come close emotionally. He buries his dark past and hidden pain in his fiction hero Ryder Falco, penning sinister, dark fiction, working out his angst by late night prowling and spending long hours in his opulently decadent shower. Sebastian's solitary existence is a design of his own making as opposed to the horrible years of his childhood. Long ago he vowed he would never look to someone else for security, substance or support. But then, he underestimated the needs of his heart.THE SWEETEST TABOO combines raw sexual energy with fierce emotional passion in a savvy blend of extremities certain to fulfill the most demanding lover of romance and erotica. Indeed, author Alison Kent has a gift for cutting to the very essence of modern woman's struggle to reconcile her needs and desires with the standards society sets. Sexual freedom does not give Erin the experience she imagines as she struggles to divorce extraordinary sex from its emotional ramifications. Sebastian likewise struggles with self-identity, rejecting his past by create a fictional character that bears the brunt of his dark side. Further, the pace of the novel maintains a gripping edge as both Erin and Sebastian struggle with their inner demons and deepest desires. A titillating read with gritty detail and fierce emotion, THE SWEETEST TABOO comes very highly recommended.
