Summary
The Taste of Him is a slow-burn M/M roommate romance about Tien, a quiet baker and PhD student who has been secretly in love with his athletic best friend Lucas for years.
What begins as a playful dessert-for-affection arrangement (kisses for cookies, more for something sweeter) gradually deepens into real intimacy, emotional vulnerability, and intense erotic connection.
As the lines between friendship, lust, and love blur, both men are forced to confront what they truly want from each other.
He only asked for cookies. What he got was everything.
Tien has been baking for his roommate Lucas for years — and wanting him for even longer. When their playful “dessert exchange” turns into late-night kisses, wandering hands, and far more intimate payments, the careful line they’ve always kept between them begins to melt.
Lucas has always been the one who could have anyone. Tien has always been the one who only wanted him.
Now the kitchen isn’t the only place things are heating up… and neither of them wants to go back to the way things were.
A slow-burn, emotionally charged M/M romance full of yearning, tenderness, and explicit heat.
