Publisher's Summary

A sexy, single dad listen narrated by award-winning duo Sebastian York and Andi Arndt.

Single dad Andrew Beckwith has already devoted his life to one girl - and as far as he's concerned, she's all he needs. The inked, rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. When Bell's mother walked out of their lives, Andrew vowed never to let another woman close enough to hurt them again.

Amelia isn't just another woman. She's an independent, smart, and savvy businesswoman who doesn't have time for sex, much less love. In the midst of a drawn-out, bitter divorce, all she wants is to bury herself in work. But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly - and burn. 

After all, it's not as if opposites ever attract.

"A five-alarm fire of a book that will melt your e-reader...and a father-daughter relationship that will make little hearts pop out of your eyes." (Lex Martin, USA Today bestselling author)  

The First Taste can be enjoyed as a standalone or as book two in the Slip of the Tongue series.

Bit meh

It was okay. Nothing ground breaking. Could have easily stopped listening half way through and not worried about listening to the end as it was predicable. With my two favorite narrators combined again I was disappointed with the story. They definitely made it though. Can't say I'll be rushing to listen to more of this author and will exchange this one as I only keep ones I want to listen to again

Drawn out vanilla

Too long, predictable and a bit blah. Good voice performance, but this doesn’t save the story.
