One
Taste of Crazy
A One Taste Novel
By
Amanda Siegrist
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release
Date: July 28, 2017
When it comes to
women, shy and awkward are Detective Sauer’s middle name. And, well, the woman
he wants to ask out is the exact opposite—loud and crazy. He can’t seem to form
coherent words when Dee’s near. The minute she’s attacked, evidence connecting
it to one of his murder cases, his shyness slowly starts to dissipate. Nothing
will stop him from protecting her. Except maybe Dee herself.
Dee O’Malley
isn’t naïve to think she’ll ever find love. Men never stick around. Ever. Not
even a relationship with sweet, shy Sauer would last. But it’s oh so tempting
to start one, especially when his kisses insist it’s possible. That doesn’t
mean his kisses will stop her from finding the bastard who attacked her,
something that riles him up. Besides, he’s adorable when he gets upset. And she
can’t resist that.
❤ Warning: This novel contains a sexy detective. There is
insta-love. But it’s book three so you probably know that already if you read
the first two. *wink* Happy reading! ❤
Note: Each book
can be read as a standalone.
Dee
smiled, the sleepiness still evident in her eyes as she brushed her hair back
from her face. “Is something wrong?”
“Nope.” He shook his head. No way in hell he was going to share
his feelings. A guy could only handle rejection so many times. “I’m making
breakfast.”
Her brow rose. “I know. I could smell the bacon.”
“Right. I didn’t mean to wake you up yet.”
Oh God. He couldn’t handle it. He was reverting to his shy,
awkward self. He had no idea what to say to her, so he did the only thing he
could think of. Turned back toward the stove and poured the egg mixture into
the pan sitting on the front left burner.
“You sure you’re okay, Sauer?”
He flashed a smile. “I’m good.” He started to spoon the eggs
around. He should pop some toast in, too. Did she like toast? All he had to do
was ask.
Not exactly tension, but something stretched between them in the
kitchen. He was afraid to turn around and ask her even a simple question, like,
did she want some toast.
He shivered as a pair of arms circled his waist. She rested her
head against his back.
“What’s the matter? You’re barely talking to me.”
“I apologize.”
She chuckled. “I am not mad you made bacon. I love bacon.”
He set the spoon down and turned around. Her arms fell away and
she took a step back. “I was talking about last night.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I…the bed…naked…” He ran a hand over his face as he managed to
take a deep breath. Now wasn’t the time to stumble over his words.
Her soft fingers brushed his cheek. “I should thank you for last
night. I needed that. This morning, I feel rejuvenated. Let’s find this
bastard. Nobody attacks me and gets away with it.”
His jaw clenched. “I will find this bastard. Not you.”
“Whatever.”
“You’ll listen to me, Dee.” He took a step closer, a breath
away. “I don’t want to see you get hurt. Let me do my job.”
She bit her lip as a sneaky grin emerged. “Every time it comes
to your job, you get so dominant and assertive. Then, in the next breath, so
shy. You are a very complex man.”
“No. I’m pretty simple. I’m good at my job. You leave this to
me.”
Her lips brushed his. “I never listen well.” She laughed as she
backed away. “You’re cute when you get upset.”
He groaned and turned back to the eggs. She was going to be the
death of him. Some man, most likely the killer he was looking for, attacked
her, and she wanted to argue with him about who would catch him. Why did every
little thing about her make him like her more? Even when she was annoying the
hell out of him.

I love anything
that has to do with romance. As long as there’s a happy ending, I’m a happy
camper. I love baseball (Go Twins!) and creating awesome crafts. I graduated
with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice, working in that field for several
years before I became a stay-at-home mom. When I’m not hanging out with my
wonderful family, I’m writing a sweet contemporary romance or a romantic
suspense that keeps you guessing until the end. I have a few more amazing
stories in the works. If you would like to connect with me or see important
