4.0 out of 5 stars
Can I have a weekend in Napa Valley?, June 27, 2007
This review is from: Tempt Me, Taste Me, Touch Me (Paperback)
This book is the story of three friends who decide to go to the Napa valley for a weekend that's just for the girls. However, instead of spending time with the girls, each friend meets up with a man who will change her life.
If I could, I'd give this book 4 ½ stars - for me it's not quite a 5 star book. I think the fact that each woman finds Mr. Perfect and lives happily ever after all in one weekend (for the most part) just stretched it a little too much. But settle back and have some wine - it's definitely a fun steamy read.
Tempt Me - 4 ½ stars
Tempt Me is Carrie's story. Just before leaving for this girl's weekend away, Carrie's boyfriend proposes. Carrie has been dating James for 2 years, changing herself so that she'll be the perfect wife for him. But when he proposes, she realizes that she can't marry him. How could she have been wrong for all this time? After getting to Napa, she decides to take a walk to clear her mind, and finds herself lost in a vineyard and meets up with Tyson. He's everything she's never wanted - but maybe that's just what she needs.
I enjoyed this story, though it seemed it took a while for Carrie to deal with her ex-boyfriend. Tyson has his issues - he's been hurt too. He's not sure that he can trust Carrie. It's fun reading how these two get together.
Taste Me - 5 stars
Rose has always been made to feel fat - from her slender mother to her boyfriends who give her hints that she's eating too much. Always getting dumped, Rose has little faith in herself. In fact, just before this weekend, her boyfriend Elliot dumps her for a slender woman. Never mind that Elliot is a loser - when a loser dumps you, where does that leave you?
Checking in to the hotel, Rose finds out that she's won a weekend of cooking lessons with Jack Gerard, the hot sexy chef at Gerard's restaurant. She wants to cancel - the last thing she needs is cooking lessons! - but Jack won't let her. He takes one look at Rose and can't believe that this voluptuous woman is his for the weekend. He doesn't think she's fat at all - he finds her incredibly sexy. Can he convince Rose?
This was my favorite of the 3 stories. I felt Rose's pain and her lack of confidence with the very sexy Jack. A very fun read.
Tease Me - 3 ½ stars
Vanessa has never had a problem with men or getting what she wants. She's confident with a capital C. While walking in town, she sees a painting that she must have. Sam, the artist, will let her have the painting, if Vanessa will be his muse and allow him to paint her nude. Vanessa has no problem taking off her clothes, but she wants to be more than Sam's muse - she wants him in her bed! However Sam has been burnt before and won't sleep with his muse.
This was my least favorite story of the three. Vanessa seemed very selfish (though we do find out at the end of the story why she is like she is). I guess I just couldn't relate to such a confident woman!

Tempt Me, Taste Me, Touch Me, January 5, 2007
This review is from: Tempt Me, Taste Me, Touch Me (Paperback)
Tempt Me:
The next day after dumping her seemingly perfect boyfriend, Carrie and her friends take a trip to the Napa Valley. While her ex seemed perfect until the moment he proposed, the closer she gets to the wine country, the more Carrie realizes how close she came to making a huge mistake. And when Carrie meets, Tyson, a handsome winemaker, she sees what perfect really is.
Taste Me:
Full-figured Rose knows what it feels like to be dumped. Just before her trip to the Napa Valley, her boyfriend dumps her for a much thinner woman. When she arrives at the hotel, she is surprised to win a weekend of cooking lessons with the delectable chef, Jack Gerard. And Jack finds Rose's voluptuous curves delicious.
Touch Me:
Vanessa knows what she wants and knows how to get it. When she sees a painting she desires, she'll stop at nothing to get it. If it means taking on a gorgeous and sexy artist struggling to show his immunity to her wiles, so be it.
Tempt Me, Taste Me, Touch Me by Bella Andre is a collection of three erotically charged novellas that will leave you panting for more! I devoured all three in the course of an evening and fell asleep with a satisfied smile on my face. I loved them all. Of the three, my favorite was Taste Me. I am a fan of rubenesque heroines and adore the men that love them. In Touch me, Taste Me, Touch Me, Bella Andre delivers three erotic novellas that appeal to the romantic in us all.

A trio of delectable novellas in Napa, March 2, 2007
This review is from: Tempt Me, Taste Me, Touch Me (Paperback)
I loved this trio of novellas that have strong women and naughty men, My favorite story is that of Touch Me, Vanessa and Sam are HOT. Vanessa is the strongest of the trio of friends, she's gotten everything she wanted by using her allure and beauty, Sam is the first man that trully bafles her because he is immune to her charms. The resulting attractine forces between them is explosive.
Coming on the heels of Touch Me is Taste Me, the novella about rubenesque Rose and Scrumptious Chef Jack. The fact that Jack finds Rose so Sexy is so HOT. I defintely love it.
The first story is about Carrie and Tyler, she just broke up with Mr. Perfect, and regrets it, then she meets Tyler and maybe her ex wasn't as perfect as he seems. Definitely the weakest of the trio of novellas, but still enjoyable.
If you are looking for a sexy, hot read that takes place in gorgeous and romantic NAPA, then this is the anthology for you.
