Love At First Taste

Love Comes First #3

by Olivia T. Turner

I work on a luxury yacht and it's the perfect job.
Amazing scenery and luxurious accommodations, but not so good for keeping a relationship alive.
The guests come and go and I exist behind a wall of politeness.
Hiding behind a customer service barrier where no one can see the real me.
Until he comes onto my yacht.
Luke Cline.
The most dominant commanding male I've ever seen.
He sees me.
He tastes me.
And for the first time in my life, all my barriers and walls come crashing down.

Luke Cline is heading to the Caribbean for work and he's about to show the beautiful First Mate on his yacht what an Over-The-Top possessive alpha a Cline brother can be. SAFE, no cheating, and a sweet HEA that will have you grinning and blushing!

The brothers are at it again...

2.5 stars

Not my favorite from this author, but I do like these brothers!
Safe from cheating? Yes. However, I was totally turned off by the bachelor party scene with the naked strippers on the yacht. The bachelor (not the hero thank goodness) says how he loves his future wife so much yet he’s licking salt off of a stripper’s boob and taking shots from her belly button 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thankfully the hero didn’t partake in the shenanigans but it totally set the tone for the story and I struggled.

-no cheating
-no om drama
-ow drama strippers on the yacht for the kickoff of the bachelor party. They were dancing on the bar top less and making out.... the other guys were licking salt off of their boobs and doing shots from their belly buttons 🙄. a stripper puts a necklace on the hero but she and the other guy were so drunk she probably didn’t even remember.
-no violence
-virgin heroine/no mention of hero past
-epilogues 6 months and 15 years later which was great
-there is a set up for his other brother Westin’s story but the heroine was not likable. She came across as a bit sour and hard

Pretty fast pace and steamyish with some drama.

Brother number 3 turn and his job is to go on a bachelor party for a client. As he there he really doesn't wanna be there watching rich guys drool over strippers not him. He already spotted First mate Aubrey and is sprung he sees nothing but his future but her. As for Aubrey she annoyed with her coworkers on this boat. Seems no one listen to her and she's already annoyed with rich men. But one of the guest has her, flirty and playful and doesn't wanna leave her side. Even if she tries to push him away.

But Luke isn't having it even when they are naked and stranded in the ocean. 🤣

I think we have 2 more (i think) stories left Westin and the sister Brooke if she gets a story. We got a snip of the Heroine for West hopefully she isn't a cold person.

No om drama kinda ow drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, sexy times, virgin gal and no manwhore

“I…” the words fall from her parted lips as she leans into me. I’m already so hard. Her perfume, her loose hair tickling my forearm, her pink tongue barely visible behind those white teeth… fuck… How the hell can I go back to New York without this girl? How can I possibly sit in an office, knowing this angelic creature is gliding along the seas without my hungry protective eyes looking out for her?

SAFE, no cheating, and a sweet HEA that will have you grinning and blushing! Enjoy!

I really loved this story it was freaking sweet, romantic but funny as well. 😍😍😍Luke fell head over heels in love and nobody and nothing could stop him from claiming his woman. Aubrey was independent, funny and sweet as well. A safe and steamy story with a HEA and a great epilogue as well.👍👍👍

TW/CW: sexism, fatphobia, CHEATING.

It was going to get a good rating until I saw another review pointing out the cheating that happens in the book. I remember listening to it but I must’ve confused the soon to be married guy with one of the annoying guys who was single. Yikes. It wasn’t the hero at least, but don’t add cheating in your books unless it’s a from a villainous character. I feel so bad for the poor girl who married him. It’s such a shame given how much I loved the first book. Anyways, cheating is gross and tacky, and if you think it’s cute, you are also gross and tacky.

Another Cline brother down...

This is Luke’s story. Luke has to go on a bachelor party get away. There he meets Aubrey. Right away she’s it for Luke, but Aubrey needs some convincing. Insta-love and full of steamy scenes. Sweet epilogues many years out.

[Jen ♥ · Rating 3 out of 5]

i always enjoy the ridiculousness of novellas. the unbelievable plot, cheesy lines, and for some inexplicable reason the undeniable attraction between the mcs.

however, what i don't like in this series is the fact that all the women are inexperienced. i mean why do all of them are virgins? just why? women can have sex too you know? i was having fun while reading this but then when they're finally going to do it, she's dropping the bomb that she's never done it before. and all the excitement i felt suddenly went poof replaced by annoyance.

reading this trope wherein he's had a lot of experience, doesn't mean his a playboy but he's not a freaking saint and the girl is the virgin 20+ yo gets tiring at some point. i just want some fairness and equality when it comes to sexual department.

despite this issue, i'll still finish this series maybe i'm a masochist. i know for sure my irritation will flare up once again if i read one more time that the heroine is virgin.

Luke se ve obligado a ir a la despedida de soltero en un yate de uno de sus clientes. Odia ese tipo de fiestas pero tiene que hacerlo para convencerlo de que siga siendo su cliente. Él espera pasar unos cuatro días aburridos y horribles... Eso es hasta que ve a la oficial Aubrey, y entonces quizás haya merecido la pena el viaje, porque puede haber encontrado su para siempre.

Mmmm, de todos los libros de esta saga hasta ahora este es el que menos me ha entusiasmado. Esta bien y todo eso, Olivia es Olivia y siempre gusta pero esta historia me ha parecido más floja, menos macho alfa que las otras algo a lo que nos tiene acostumbradas la autora pero bueno que aún así es un buen libro para pasar el rato!

Not much chemistry

Sex scenes were hot but outside of that...the relationship was fairly boring. The hero was a bit more beta than I expected.

[Kiley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love At First Taste, Book 3 of the Love Comes First series, was about 30-year-old Luke Cline, co-owner of the Cline Corp., and 25-year-old Aubrey Riddle, the First Mate of a luxury yacht.
When Luke was "chosen" from the two remaining single brothers to attend a client's bachelor party (complete with strippers), he wasn't too thrilled. However, he felt the need to get out of the city for a while, so he accepted his fate and went. The one thing he had been expecting was to meet the woman he didn't know he had been looking for all of his life. But meed her, he did, and he only had four days in which to make her fall in love with him.
While there were aspects of her job she did not like, Aubrey loved sailing. She just didn't like being away from home so much, and though she always wanted to get married and have children, she didn't think that desire would hit her so hard at only 25. But she was ready to settle down and start a family. Another thing she hadn't thought would happen came in the form of meeting Luke.
There was one major problem with these two falling in love. They lived several states apart. She lived in Miami, while he lived in New York. She didn't want to start something with Luke if he wasn't serious enough to stay. He didn't want to return to New York without her.
When things between the two main characters got hot and heavy, that was when everything went awry and took a turn into the hilarious. From there, things started looking up and they got their HEA. It was well earned.
This was the third book in the series that I had apparently read before but never written a review on. Once again, it was full of humor, a touch of angst, and more drama than any of the previous stories. So far, out of all the books in the series, it had multiple POVs instead of just the two main characters. That was one of the hilarious parts of the story. Like its predecessors, it also deserved a five-star rating.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is Luke's turn to deal with their biggest client and try not to lose them.
A luxurious yatch, a bachelor party what could possibly go wrong?
Luke is not happy about having to go to this event, but this is their biggest client, plus he is feeling stifled in the concrete jungle so four days of sun, sand and water.
Aubrey has worked this yatch for four years, being second in command should give her some leinyacy on her schedule but she is constantly taking up after her crew, the maid are either texting, eating or sneaking off with other staff members, the chef is a crazy knife wheeling maniac threatening anyone who enters his kitchen, lets not talk about the captain and his paranoia.
So she gets the wrong impression of Luke when he is speechless around her, the bachelor party begins with strippers and to much to drink before they leave the dock.
But one hot kiss and some fireworks later and Luke is in love and Aubrey is ready to give it all up.
A nice candlelit dinner, some bachelor party antics on shore, a quick trip back to the boat some naughty time in the sheet, how about skinny dipping in ocean, but what happens when the yacht pulls up anchor and leave the new lovers treading water?
A nice couple celebrating their fiftieth anniversary can tell you all about that.
Luke never went back to New York with the rest of the bachelor party , he kept the company plane, Aubrey took vacation time and they traveled.
But we all know Weston is the financial task master, always worried about the bottom line but at Gabriel's wedding he meets his match, worrying the family at his lack of speech.
We get a nice extended epilogue of Luke and Aubrey

[Rose · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book started off bad for me, with Luke the 3rd Cline brother set to have an HEA of his own. But his story starts off with him attending a batchelor party for Gabriel, son of Mr. Brown whom we see in the first 2 books. Gabriel's got strippers on his yacht and his friends are so crude. Then we get to know how Gabriel fell in love with his bride-to-be, and how she is the love of his life. The next scene we see him "licking salt off the stripper's nipple, taking the lime from between her lips and drinking tequila from her belly button." It was so gross and obviously cheating from a man who claims to be marrying the love of his life, it's so disgusting. I just hated it so much that I just couldn't get past that. He later goes with his gross buddies to hit the pubs. We know how that will go. Eww...
Well, because of this I'm leaving it at 32%. To those who want to read this book, it's safe as far as the hero and heroine are concerned. Luke sees Aubrey on the yacht and is smitten. His past sexual history is not mentioned and Aubrey is a virgin. They get their HEA without drama, angst and is completely safe. So go for it.

Omg fantastic

Omg another fantastic read of this series. Luke ends up being picked by the other a line brothers to attend bachelor party of one of there clients. Luke doesn’t really like living in the city he prefers the outdoors this would actually be a nice break for him to the Caribbean. Luke isn’t into the whole bachelor scene he is looking for something else only when he sees her he lost to her. Aubrey is the ships first officer she prefers when they have a family on the hatch not a bachelor party but one of the guys has already met her and he keeps looking at her.
Luke takes every opportunity to spend time with Aubrey while the others go off shore but at some point he has to go with them he invites Aubrey to with them.
Luke has found his forever as he tells his brothers that he won’t be coming back for at least a month as he sees the world with Aubrey and looking at places for them to invest in.
Can’t wait for the next instalment looks like it’s Westin’s time to find his girl.

[Guilty Pleasures · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sigh. Nah. This was not it.
I did not like the setting - on a yacht with a bunch of "bro dudes" (as I like to call them) partying with strippers. Nothing against strippers but they were framed very poorly, as Luke, the main character, was not interested in them and only had eyes for Aubrey the captains assistant? I already forgot.

I just didn't click with them. Especially when Aubrey was so annoyed by the Twins and the Maid having basically threesomes on board, when she ends up doing the same with the guest.
I would add that having sex with a guest on the yacht you're working on is worse than sleeping with a coworker but I digress.

I feel like Luke & Aubrey tried to be what Eli & Carrie were. This witty cute couple.
But ultimately fell flat.

Also why the hell keep authors insert chapters from other people's point of view when that point of view never was mentioned and will never be mentioned again?!
When they both went skinny dipping and got left behind by their yacht they went on land and grabbed a tablecloth to wrap Aubrey in it, but we don't see it from their perspective - it's from a random coupe's perspective that was dining at a restaurant.

Completely random. I neither needed not enjoyed that one. Luckily it was very short.

Love At First Taste is the story of Luke and Aubrey.

They meet on a yacht at Gabriel’s bachelorette party since he’s getting married and Luke spotted her and immediately fell for her and when she met him but it was more like insta hot. She was hot in all places. He tries to win her over by staying on the yacht when they guys go clubbing and they dance in the night and go on jet skis to different locations. She doesn’t want a fling or to lose her virginity on a one time thing and he reassures her on the beach. From then on that same night they go clubbing and that night he claims her. Then they decide to go swimming and the yacht leaves them naked in the water and they show up to a restaurant naked 💀. She has a tablecloth and he has a apron on 💀💀. They go back and she decides to take a vacation back to her hometown and he decides to stay and proposes to her out of the blue but it was still cute. HEA and kids. Insta love, virgin heroine, age gap I think like 5 years.

Solid 4/5

Bachelor party leads to love? Anything’s possible!

I kind of loved this story. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were interesting and likable. Another member of the Cline family finds their “one”. Luke went to a clients bachelor party never expecting to find his “one” but that’s what happened. He already felt like Manhattan wasn’t home and finding her confirmed that feeling. Aubrey was not looking for love as she was working. She thought that maybe it was a fling. Aubrey definitely didn’t expect that Luke would mean it when he said he was staying with her. I loved their interactions. It was funny to me how they both seemed to view the bachelor party. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Love at first taste is the third book in the ‘’love comes first’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Luke is forced to attend a client’s bachelor party, he doesn’t expect to find love.
The chemistry between Luke and Aubrey is clear to see and I loved them together. I thought they made a cute couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

This author always seems to give us a really good story! Here we’re on an adventure with one of the Cline siblings. Luke, much to his dismay, is attending a bachelor party get-away aboard a luxurious yacht. But once there, he meets Aubrey, and he is right where he wants to be! She is the one Luke wants, but Aubrey will need to be convinced, and Luke is the right man to reassure her!

Luke and Aubrey are perfect together with their sizzling chemistry. The reader will love the characters and the story line races along at the perfect pace. These two are hot, sexy, and fun and will keep a smile on the reader’s face at their crazy antics. You won’t want to miss it!

Another OTT win! Super sweet n steamy🔥🔥🔥

The Cline brothers are at it again and this time it’s Luke’s story! The second he lays eyes on the curvy first mate of the yacht hes been invited onto, he knows she’s it for him. And nothing is going to stop him from scaling her walls and winning her over.

In typical OTT fashion, there’s lots of smexiness and sticky steamy bits to burst ones kindle into flames with a devoted, determined and lovestruck hero to melt one into a swooning puddle of goo!

Heroes past isn’t mentioned, heroine is a virgin, no cheating of any kind, no ow/om drama, no abuse of any kind, with a HEA and an epilogue 15 years out.

[Marcie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Olivia brings all the sweetness, steam and humor with this next installment with the Cline siblings. I adore Luke and Aubrey so much in this story!! Luke groaning when he has to take a trip with a client that he doesn't want to go on but all that changes when he sees Aubrey. When he sets his sights on her, he doesn't stop until she is his. Olivia nails it with this sweet and funny instalove and I loved every word! I can't wait to see what she has in store with Westin.

****I received an ARC of this directly from the author in exchange for my honest review****

Another Cline brother falls hard... Luke had no desire to go attend his family’s biggest clients bachelor party cruise fit the weekend but gets roped into it by his brothers.... but once he’s onboard he sets his eyes on Aubrey an employee on the boat .... all bets are off... while Aubrey gets the wrong impression of Luke from the get go, she can’t seem to shake her mind off him.... He goes full knots ahead in changing her mind about him and nothing will stop him... not even a little ill placed nudity!
Love, heat and comedy... Olivia pulled off another great one!❤️

[Elz Small · Rating 5 out of 5]

I keep wondering if there will ever be a time that I’ll be unsatisfied by an OTT read, I honestly don’t think it’s possible.

Luke is forced into attending a client’s bachelor party on a yacht and he can’t think of anything worse, that is till he spots Aubrey and falls head over heels, he just needs to make her fall for him, even if that means not going home as planned and dedicating his time to getting his girl.

OTT really and truly knows how to hit the spot and leave her reader desperate for more.

3,5/5⭐️

Anında aşk, 30H/25h, OW/OM draması yok, Bakire FMC. OTT Alfa hero.
Luke kardeşler arasında en merak ettiğimdi. İri yarı erkek karakterlere zaten bayılıyorum ve önceki kitaplarda hep Luke’un ne kadar iyi olduğundan bahsedildi🤭
Luke yatırıcımlarının bekarlığa vedası için Karayiplerde bir gemiye gitmek zorunda kalıyor. Aubreu ise o geminin ikinci kaptanı. İlk başta onu gemideki diğer adamlar gibi sadece uçkuruna düşkün striptizcilerle takılan bir adam olarak düşünsede Luke ona ilk görüşte aşık olduğundan peşini bırakmıyor. Onun için işini bırakıp bir aile kurmaya oldukça kararlı🥺
