Review

Taste of Surrender is full of pining, secret rendezvous separated by time and distance, finally giving these two a second chance. Their dreams may have gotten in the way of their fledgling romance, but finally, they have a chance to try again. Nothing like being on the road for months to see where things could go.

Jasper and Malachi are really cute and definitely smitten. And I quite enjoyed the secretive romance, though you just knew keeping the secret from their best friend/brother was never a good idea.

You also get some rockstar vibes and some excellent found family to go along with it all. So all in all, an enjoyable read.

Synopsis

Jasper Bennett has always thought his crush on Malachi Danvers, his older brother’s straight best friend, was one-sided. But everything changes during a family camping trip when Malachi confesses his own hidden feelings for Jasper.

After a taste of what could be, Jasper and Malachi can’t get enough of each other. From stolen kisses to sneaking into bedroom windows, they embrace their forbidden romance until both of their hearts shatter when Malachi receives the news his band, Surrender, has scored a shot at fame in Los Angeles through a reality competition.

Caught between his feelings for Jasper and Surrender’s big break, Malachi decides to chase his dreams out west, expecting Jasper to wait for him until he returns to Boston. Instead, Jasper has aspirations too, and jets off to Paris for culinary school.

With the distance between them and no one knowing Malachi is bisexual, they realize there isn’t much of a future for their relationship. That is until years later when Jasper’s brother offers him a job as Surrender’s chef for their upcoming tour.

Not able to pass up the opportunity of a lifetime, Jasper accepts the position. Once they’re reunited, Jasper and Malachi have to address their unresolved feelings. Leaving them to decide if a second chance at love outweighs the risks of exposing their secrets or if it’s time to surrender what they once shared.
