It's the first day of 2016 and A Taste of Utopia is the first book to ring in the New Year!!!!! And let me just say that I am absolutely smitten with this book and found myself a new author to stalk. L. Duarte, you have my complete and undivided attention now. As a hopeless romantic at heart, Ms. Duarte has managed to set my heart racing with A Taste of Utopia.

So when I first read the blurb, a male escort and a self-professed innocent geek, who happens to be a virgin fall in LOVE, I was immediately sold. And from the first page of the prologue to the very last page, Ms. Duarte had me devouring this book in one sitting. L.Duarte will be capturing the hearts of any romance aficionados as she showcases a couple who were meant to meet, fall in love and have their lives intertwined.

 photo aac01a9cef35de86016c0c4baabac2_zpslgpygqlv.gifSEX IS MY domain. I play a woman’s body like a neurosurgeon works a scalpel, calm and deliberate. However, there’s an urgency to the way I desire Lottie. A desperation. I want to fuck her with the same eagerness a martyr is ready to die for his cause. This raw attraction hums through my body with full-blown intensity. It’s overpowering.”

Do you believe in fate? Do you believe you can fall in love with a person and know within just one kiss that this person is "the one"? The one person who will set your racing. The one who without a doubt will change your life. The game changer. Well in the case for Seth Phoenix, he knew from the moment that he laid his eyes on on Charlotte “Lottie” Cahan, that she was the one.

#ATasteofUtopia

Charlotte is in Vegas to celebrate her 21st birthday. A recent graduate from the prestigious YALE University, Charlotte considers herself a geek and innocent. So while in Vegas with her best friend, Chloe she decides to finally let loose and maybe cash in some orgasms...well to be more exact lose her virginity. But what Charlotte isn't aware of is that Chloe had hired a male escort to give her endlesss amount of orgasms. And as it turns out, Seth was the male escort to grant and fulfill Lotte's birthday wishes. But what happens when, Seth doesn't want to be just a male escort and wants to be the guy for Lotte. And what happens when Seth and Lotte decides to get married in Vegas, will he be able to tell Lotte that he is a male escort? How will Lotte's parents react to this spur of the moment marriage? Can a male escort and a virgin fall in love with each other less than a week? How can something so wrong feel so right?

 photo aac01a9cef35de86016c0c4baabac2_zpslgpygqlv.gifAnd I fall. And he catches me. And he falls. And I catch him. And we spiral downward in a kaleidoscope of tangled bodies, intertwined souls, screams of release and the rapture of pleasure.”

A Taste of Utopia by L. Duarte was the perfect book to kick off my 2016 book calendar. It had everything I was looking for in a sweet romance. The hero, Seth was an absolute gem. He didn't have an ego that I would normally expect to find in a male escort but was truly a genuine soul. He was kind, understanding, and had such a big heart. Usually, I am apprehensive on the insta-lust/love romance but Ms. Duarte wrote A Taste of Utopia perfectly. She was able to incorporate an emotional journey and personal growth for both Seth and Lotte, that you could understood why they fell in love with each other so fast. They had the kind of love that knocks them off their feet. It is the kind of love that reminds us all that we meet thousands of people, and then you meet the one person, and your life is changed forever. And for Seth and Lotte.. it was about taking that chance to really fall...and fall in love they did.

So if you are looking for a book that was the perfect blend of friendship, love, and sacrifices, then I highly urge you to read A Taste of Utopia. Thank you, Ms. Duarte for writing a sweet book that was brimming with so much passion and heart.
