This was MESSY. Age gap … interesting.
May 29, 2026
First, I just want to say how much I love the cover for TASTY! As well as all of the accompanying visuals from Taahesi 😍🍇🍷🐾🐴 All the graphics were well done! I’ve been waiting on this book ever since Taahesi teased us with saying she was working on it in her Patreon lol
“Tasty” is a grumpy x sunshine, forbidden romance, age gap story (older man, younger woman) with taboo elements and I don’t think it’ll be everyone’s cup of tea. With that being said, I enjoyed it ☺️
Marlon & Aurora, despite the 22 year old age difference, were very compatible. The moment they met I’m like yea this is going to be a good time lol Rory (Aurora) was so damn funny with her bratty ass. But I loved her growth as a character and her becoming this business savvy woman. Marlon was mean as hell but I loved how Rory went toe to toe with him lol
Chewy the dog and the horses were good side characters lol
Book could have went through another round of editing. Some minor grammatical errors.
I would’ve loved to see a flash back scene between Marlon and Rory’s mom Alice 👀 just for more context on their dynamic.

"This wasn't a man chasing his prime, but living it."
"Even when he wasn't looking at me, he had my attention. My pulse thudded harder than I cared to admit as I followed him out into the quieter hallway."
Listen... I finished this in 24 hours, this book has all the things I love in a book! My jaw was on the floor the entire time while reading this because it has hilarious banter, funny and bratty fmc, messy dynamics, a mmc that does not play about the fmc, and then some! I truly could not put this book down to save my life, I was so invested with the story and with Marley and Bunny (I am obsessed with the nicknames lol) both of them truly had a tit for tat type of vibe and they also meshed so well together, even though their personalities are so so different, which made their clash of arguments that more entertaining! The banter was bantering omg! I was laughing out loud at the shenanigans that went down and also so intrigued with their spicy scenes! Marley's grumpy dominant strict personality was everything and more, I like himmm a lot! He did not play any games at all and ran a strict program, and Bunny's lively and live life on the edge bratty personality truly made the story that more interesting! I think the author did a stellar job with humanizing the characters as they are navigating a very fast paced change in each other lives, their backstories regarding familial tension was written in a way that not only provided context but created a space for the characters to grow and address things head on.
I loved that the setting is at a Winery / vineyard, the descriptive writing was perfect to describe the calming presence the winery brought to Marley and Bunny in their fast paced lives as they were navigating their relationship / feelings and the Winery changes / renovations. I love Bunny, she is funny and I loved her worth ethic and her drive to accomplish her goals on her own terms and by her own means without a man! She truly is a silent force to be reckoned with and I love her character so much. I really enjoyed this a lot and I like that the story kept me on my toes and kept my interests because I seriously did not predict any of the surprises that were revealed in the story!!

This was way spicier than I expected. There were a few moments where I was like, "Wait, hold UP now..." 😂 It really be those cute covers that get me everytime.
I loved the tension between the characters, the humor, and all the bickering. They had me rolling! Even Chewy, her little dog, had some cute moments in the story.
The age-gap part took some getting used to, but I enjoyed the author's writing so much that I still had a great time with this one.

Don’t let the cover fool you!
This is a dark, smutty age gap romance in which they do the NASTY. It’s not every chapter of the book, but when it happens, IT HAPPENS. lol Marlon becomes very possessive as the book progresses but I liked that Rory didn’t just take it to the chin. She was always going to be her inquisitive, spoiled, bratty self whether Marlon *secretly* liked it or not.
I must say, I wish authors take the time to proofread. There were a number of grammatical mistakes in this book that took me out of the story at times. Also, everybody felt very surface level…I didn’t find the characters to have much depth. So this book is a good for if you’re looking to read something smutty with forbidden romance elements.

Marley & Bunny
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes:
Age gap relationship
Parental issues
Grumpy-sunshine dynamics
I saw this book posted on threads and decided to read it. As soon as I realized who the author of this book, I knew it will be on demon time to an extent. If you read the Strange series by Taashesi B. Williams you already know what to expected.
An one night stand leads to the chaotic relationship of Marlon & Aurora. Unbeknownst to them, not only will they end up working together, but they’re tied to one another in more ways than one. There’s a decent amount of BDSM in this book so you have been warned.

I would like to personally give thanks to the bestie that told Taahesi to “take it to hell” because IMMEDIATELY YESS 🙂↕️🙂↕️
From that page forward, I knew this was going to jump to the top of favorite by this author. The amount of times I said “ooop” while reading was unlimited. Tasty really was a great kinky forbidden love romance and I ate it up! There were laughs, tear jerkers, and lot of times where i’m squeezing my legs together.
Aurora was thee perfect brat…spoiled brat! She tested Mr. S so bad he couldn’t help but to give her his collar. But was it that right decision??
Don’t hold off, it’s the perfect season to read Tasty. Definitely grab you a bottle of wine, kick your feet up and give this a read. You’ll absolutely love this one!!!

A masterclass in dialogue from Taahesi & a masterclass in bratting from Rory.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tasty from beginning to end. Aurora was a breath of fresh air. Slick tongued, witty, spoiled, bratty, and WHOLLY lovable. The comedic relief she brought to the story paired well with Marlon’s sharp edges & ruthless command. If there’s anything I love in a rom com, it’s the ACTUAL com. It was such a funny, refreshing read that I found myself giggling and kicking my feet at so many moments. At times the lack of consistency with verb tense became a little distracting, but the dialogue was so damn good, I found I couldn’t swipe to the next page quick enough.
Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend.
🍷 Storyline 5/5
🍷 Spice 5/5
🍷 Dialogue 1000/5
Add Tasty to your TBR NEOOWWWW.

This was my first read by Taahesi B. Williams. It will definitely not be my last. I enjoyed it! The FMC tested my patience for 75% of the book. That said, her character development was satisfying, and by the end I could appreciate the journey.
Overall, a solid read that had me double checking what I was reading for sure.

I WANT THE STRICT ONE!
First off, Marlon or, Mr. S if ya nasty, is SUPER strict. Love it. Rory is a typical spoiled 24year old who is forced to learn a lesson or two but ends up getting more than what she bargained for. I love how the story comes together and being able to read the growth that all of the characters experience including the side characters. Well done!

Beautiful read
Loved this book. The age gap was a pause at first but it worked so well. The playfulness, banter, struggle and resolve bled into a beautifully heartfelt story. Highly recommended

A good time indeed
Rory and Marley make for a very entertaining and enjoyable pair. My only note is that the Tupac and Whitney joke from the first half left a bad taste in my mouth. This read was a good time overall.

and she did it again
After reading New Growth, I decided to add another book by this author, and I'm glad I did. She does not miss. Rory and Marlon changed each other just by being in each other’s lives.
It moved quickly, was a wild ride, but had depth. Truly enjoyed the book.

1.5 No connection whatsoever between the two leads. The reason he didn’t want to be with her is because he slept with her mother???? That’s insane she should’ve left him
