Denton County MM Erotica #1

Tasting the Chef: An MM Erotic Short

Rate this book
Liam’s so good with his mouth that guys think he’s got magic powers.

Of course it’s not true, but nothing makes Liam happier than being on his knees, making guys shiver and moan.

His first night back in his hometown, Liam runs into his ex-boyfriend Gideon, Head Chef of the local steakhouse. Liam’s missed the feeling of Gideon in his mouth, the shape of him, and the way he sounds as he comes undone. Things escalate, and Liam realizes he wants to do more than just taste the chef. He wants to feel Gideon’s weight on top of him and let the Chef take what he wants, hard and fast.

It’s a busy night at the steakhouse, and there’s a kitchen full of employees on the other side of the wall. Liam and Gideon have to keep it down if they don’t want to get caught, but Liam can’t help but imagine how hot it would be to have an audience.

This is a 9k word MM erotic short. Definitely not a romance!

It’s an ok story, nothing special, did I enjoy it, not really that’s why I’ve only given it two and I feel that is generous

For a short story there's a lot packed in here, it's funny, sweet, sexy, at times hilarious, but also a touch of sadness as Gideon and Liam reunite for one of Liam's so called magical blow jobs. It was over too soon for me, these two bumbling men were a joy to read, I was a teensy bit disappointed at the ending though.

Laughable. The writing is just bad and there are so many cheesy lines that I couldn't stop laughing at one point. This short story desperately needed an editor and some feedback before being posted. There's just zero plot -- lots of confusing "we used to know one another" and "we used to hook up" nonsense but none of it sets a tone. The tone is pretty much... hey, I'm back in town and at your work, let's hook up because neither of us have a morsel of dignity to withhold ourselves until we get to someone's house.

Also, Gordon Ramsey is not going to appreciate all of the "extra fluids" being splashed around in the walk-in-freezer. Look, I get being horny, I do. But you just can't do this at your place of work. Icky.

Stuff Your Kindle Day is fun, but you're stuffing your Kindle with some garbage.

Quick funny read

I'm not saying this is very good by any means. Not much of a plot, just a hungry man with magic BJ skills wandering into a restaurant in his old hometown for a hot meal who runs into his ex and gets a taste of what he missed over the last 5 years.

The sex scene was hilarious 😂. I loved the different food related things they kept shouting out so the rest of the staff wouldn't find them.

This was ok, probably better for someone who is looking for erotica without any romance.

QUICK THOUGHTS
-- Quick easy read -- erotica without romance -- exes hook up -- too short -- less than 50 pages

This was confusing and odd. The food innuendo was ridiculous and funny and best part of this. I’m going to pass on reading the next one or anymore of this. It needs more intro/build up, character building and well story.

More porn than story

The reason I love erotic romance is you get all the sexy that porn offers but with an actual story. This started mid story it felt like and they were just looking for an excuse to bang. Not at all interesting.

Tasting the Chef (Denton County MM Erotica #1) by Sarah Saxe – I think I’ve I been reading too many billionaire romance novels because the most unbelievable part of this novella was that he was divorcing his attractive, billionaire husband to track down his exs. Still wild fun! Happy Reading!

Book two for reading all of the books i bought on Kindle stuff day

This was bad. It’s 50ish pages with a lot of things happening. They fuck in a freezer which just is not good vibes.

I wanted more build up, but she really jumped in on page 2. If this is any disclaimer on the read, “he came so hard he lost the ability to smell the next day”.

The logic that they would be able to do all that in a cold room is just to unbelievable I have been in those for like 5 minutes and left shivering there is no chance they were able to keep going for that long with no fuss.

LOL OMG this was so bad, it was actually entertaining AND had a teensy, tiny, itsy, bitsy storyline.

Returning to his hometown after a divorce, Liam finds himself sitting down for dinner at the restaurant that an ex- is now the chef at. What that means for Liam is that he is going to have to earn his meal - Chef Gideon needs one of Liam's magical blowjobs to help inspire him to create a new menu.

Once the food-related dirty talk began, you could do nothing but sit back and enjoy the ride.

I picked this up for free as part of a "Stuff Your Kindle" event and it was a lightning fast read. It was kind of like a train wreck though and while it wasn't exactly good, I will probably read the next book in the series at some point when I want something ridiculous and short.

“I’m not going to make any assumptions about us, but does this mean I have a chance at winning you back?”
“A definite chance.”



Set in Denton, Colorado.

Liam, a stylish and slender blonde twink, has been married and gone for five years. His soon-to-be ex-husband, Avery, is an asshole who cheated on Liam. A lot.

Gideon Bassett has become the head chef of a leading restaurant. The reformed bad boy is 6’4” and muscular, with lots of tattoos.

Liam has quite the reputation. And the “magic.” 🪄

The men are now in their thirties.

From the office to the cold storage room…

“I guess a couple of the waiters were interested in you, but Gideon pulled rank and said you’re all his.”
“Mm…I love it when Gideon fights over me.”


The food / culinary talk is palatable. Sometimes even amusing.

Strong anatomy. Vivid descriptive detail with appropriate bareback. Quite well done with the action.

Who doesn’t love a steamy second chance with some feels?

Hot and sweet. Solid HFN…with a wink. 😉


“Do you think this could be the start of something?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve spent the last five years wishing you’d come back to Denton. Maybe this is a sign from the universe that we’re meant to be together.”

Well that was... abysmal. Honestly, if I had gotten it in any way that wasn't free, I'd have been actually upset about the wasted money. So thanks, Stuff Your Kindle Day, for letting me burn a few minutes on fanfiction.net quality work without having to actually impact my bank account. That last sentence should be a joke, but realistically it's a pretty accurate description of what this was. It's like someone took an unbeta'd crack/PWP, filed off the serial numbers, completely neglected to have ANYONE proofread or edit it, and just threw it out there for the world to see. And I mean, I like a good plotless smut!fic as much as the next millenial, but that's what Ao3 is for, not my Kindle.

The only reason I didn't just nuke it 5 pages in was because it was so short anyway, I figured I might as well watch the flaming dumpster go rolling down the hill, just to see if anything funny came of it.

Spoiler alert: no, nothing did. So I guess even as a crack!fic, it managed to miss the mark.
