About this listen
Dear Holden, I'm not going to college a virgin. I want to learn everything and I want you to teach me.
I have to ask: Will you be my first?
Yes, there are risks. I'm your best friend's kid sister. As off limits as it gets.
But forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.
And I'll do anything for a taste.
-Daisy
The First Taste is a stand-alone brother's best friend romance with a trouble making tattoo artist hero, an inexperienced book worm heroine, and enough heat to melt your ears.
Come see why listeners say "no one writers broken bad boys like Crystal Kaswell."

Story
Rule number one: Hands off my kid sister's best friend. Rule number two: See rule number one. Rule number three: Seriously, don’t even think about touching Luna. Luna is my new roommate. My very off-limits roommate. My gorgeous, feisty, painfully tempting roommate. I try to keep my distance. To ignore her soft laugh, her intense eyes, her sweet smile. And that groan, the one she makes over her morning coffee. All right, the sassy college student is driving me out of my mind.

Story
Skye is my best friend. I trust her with my life. So, when she asks me to play her boyfriend, I say, "Hell, no!" Love screws everything up. And I’m not about to lose the only person who gets me. But Skye is determined. She’s bringing a fake boyfriend to her cousin’s wedding, with or without me. No way am I letting some other guy hold her, touch her, kiss her. It has to be me. It’s strange, smiling like I’m madly in love.

Waking up next to my best friend? No big deal. Only our clothes are MIA. And his ring is on my finger. I didn't just sleep with my best friend. I married him. Post-breakup, I'm ready to console myself with books and ice cream. My best friend has other ideas. According to Griff, there's only one real way to get over someone: get under someone else. We've been friends since third grade. He's, ahem, experienced. I trust him. We go out. Drink. Dance. Kiss.

So much has changed, but he's the same arrogant jerk with the same penchant for teasing me senselessly. I still want to slap the cocky smirk from his face. And tear off his clothes. And kiss him like the ship is going down. I hate him. I want him. I can't...no, I will stop thinking about him.

Violet Valentine has had enough of tattooed bad boys for one lifetime. Sure, nice guys don't set her on fire the way her ex Ethan did. They don't have his piercing blue eyes, or his bright smile, or his skilled hands. They don't serenade her with her favorite songs. Or make her laugh until her sides ache. Or make her feel so good she could die. None of that matters. Ethan isn't breaking her heart again. No one is.

Story
After my brother’s death, I was drowning. Delilah was my life raft. We were opposites, the outspoken art student and the brooding athlete. She was passionate where I was apathetic, bright where I was dark, soft where I was hard. For two years, we had everything. The kind of love that only exists in fairy tales. Then she left and took my heart with her. I tried to heal. To throw myself into medical school. To forget her. I thought I did. Until today. Those blue eyes, that sweet smile, the soft curves--that's my Delilah. As soon as I hear her laugh, I know. She's what’s missing from my life. I have three days to get her back. God, I hope I'm as charming as I used to be.

He’s my best friend’s older brother, off limits and incredibly tempting. I shouldn’t peak into Brendon’s sketchbook, even if the tattoo artist is as brooding and stoic as the day is long. I can’t help myself. I peel it open, run my fingers along the paper, soak up every ounce of him. His drawings are as beautiful and bold as his dark eyes and his cocky smile. Only, there, on the third page - that’s no tattoo mockup. That’s me. Naked. Ready. Waiting in his bed.

Leighton is my best friend. My subordinate. My girlfriend. That's the story we're selling. To our co-workers. To our friends. To everyone who's anticipating the breakdown of the year at my ex's wedding. It's a terrible idea. Then Leighton slides her hands into my hair and presses her berry lips to mine. And all that wrong fades to right. I stop pretending. I forget the woman who broke my heart. I forget our rules. I forget I'll be lost without her. I kiss her back like I'll never get enough. I won't. But I can't risk losing my best friend. Even if she's the woman who might finally unlock my heart.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Story
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work - starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

Story
I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes. I was traded - yeah, that phone call - traded from my longtime team of over 10 years to not just any team...to my childhood rivals, the Chicago Rebels. I was completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns. I met a girl, Natalie. She was perfect, but I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. It was too complicated. But can you believe I had zero restraint when it came to this girl?

Story
After that close-up of his package on the sailboat in Morocco, TMZ started calling him Crown Jewels. Not that I keep track of Prince Liam. Definitely don’t stalk him online like my friends do. I’m out of that scene now. My family’s reality show might still be running, but I’ve been off-screen for a while. When people pass me on the sidewalk, they might squint, but most of them don’t scream “Lucy Rhodes” and ask about my love of Lucky Charms or how my broken toe healed. Prince Liam - my stalking his Instagram - that’s just for fun. It’s my dirty little secret.

Story
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens. Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

She wants to have that experience too (well, not exactly like that - but with someone she trusts and actually likes), so she's going to need to find the guy, and fast. Problem is, she's known all the boys in her small high school forever, and it's kinda hard to be into a guy when you watched him eat crayons in kindergarten.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the dark to my sister’s light - the awkward loner to her social butterfly. Growing up, she had it all: our parent’s unyielding approval, perfect grades, a permanent spot at the popular table, and the attention of the hottest guy ever - Duke Kincaid. After 18 years of living in her shadow, I couldn’t wait to escape - to finally be my own person. Yet here I am - back in my hometown, once again in Valorie’s shadow. Only now, it’s eternal.

Story
Four guys. Constant moaning. And a revolving door across the college suite I somehow ended up in because my first name is Shawn. They don't discriminate. Girls. Guys. Grandmas. Plants (okay maybe not plants). All walks of life stroll in stressed to the brim and leave so satisfied I'm wondering what sort of talents lie behind that door. My roommate calls them the pleasure ponies. But the rest of the college campus? They just call them the new face of Wingmen Inc. - a paid-for-relationship service that makes big promises.

Super Duper Amazing
Crystal, you truly know how capture your reader’s attention. The relationship between Daisy, her father, brother Oliver and BFF Luna paint a true picture of how Daisy sees herself and her family. But the chemistry and friendship she has with Holden make the book hard to put down. The courage it took for her to tell Holden about her eating disorder was real and heart warming. Better yet was his reaction. I listened to this book until the wee hours of the morning.

Sweet and broken
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book has some triggers, just be warned. It is a first love, angsty baggage and making life work for you sort of book. It could easily be someone’s real life. I enjoyed the book. I really love the narrators! Overall it is a wonderful heartbreakingly sweet love story, with a bit of spice thrown in (maybe a dash more than a bit).

The First Taste is always the sweetest...
Crystal Kaswell knows how to write a romance. I just loved Holden and Daisy's story. Crystal writes stories that are so believable and brings so many real life issues to life. I love a story that gives a reader so many emotions and The First Taste did not disappoint.
The audio book made this story 100 times better to read (if that is even possible). Kia and Wen and such amazing narrators. I LOVE the due narration it make the book flow from one chapter to the next so effortlessly. Definitely a re-read ( or re-listen) for many years to come. Can wait for what Crystal (& Kia/Wen) releases next. 5 stars all the way!!

The First Taste Melts Your Ears
The First Taste is a brothers best friend romance told in dual pov enraptured in forbidden fruit. A angsty lovestory between a tattoo artist and a book warm. The characters are well fleshed out and given depth to their characteristics. The writing style is balanced. This author tackles topics that are not easy to discuss and handles them with care. Its written in a way that could be someone's real life. A entertaining journey to a lovestory.
Narators Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross duet naration performance hit the chemistry out of the park. These two are a perfect pair. Everything is insync and flows smoothly and consistently. Kai's sweet inflection fits Daisy's personality perfectly. Wen Ross exhuberates confidence and experience with his inflection of Holden. A entertaining experience.

Brilliant Story & Narration🎧 Amazingly Beautiful!
I loved everything about this book, from Crystal Kaswell’s wonderful writing style to the fantastic storylines and characters she created to Kai Kennicott & Wen Ross’ fabulous narration. This is truly a beautiful, heartfelt story, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive straight to the end. Both the story and characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored both lead characters, Holden Ballard and Daisy Flynn, each have their own issues, broken in their own ways. Daisy battles with her own inner demons, I loved how her family was there to support her. Daisy has secretly crushed on Holden, her older brother’s best friend for a while, but she has never been brave to act on her feelings. Holden, a player with a commitment phobia and Daisy is off limits because he would never jeopardize his friendship with Oliver. Daisy’s treats her and her friend to a paid vacation in Mexico, her brother Oliver goes to supervise and asks Holden to go too. Daisy will be leaving to go to college soon and she wants to rid of her virginity and lack of sexual experience and she knows who she wants to help her, Holden. She even gets her friend Luna in on it, she will distract Oliver so she has some alone time with Holden. I loved how everything plays out in this book, I also love how the story is told, the author takes you inside the heads of each character so we hear both the spoken dialogue as well as the unspoken inner dialogue. At times I wanted to yell, say it please tell him him and/or her, let them know, but Crystal Kaswell is brilliant at what she does and all comes in due time. This book is so much more that a forbidden/taboo relationship, while the chemistry between Holden and Daisy was electric they also clicked and they built a friendship like no other. I can not give this book enough praise, in addition to a great romance it touches on some some real life subject matters and as someone who is familiar what Daisy went thru I must say it was all kept real and was superbly done. Crystal Kaswell, thank you for this amazingly beautiful story and the emotional journey and rollercoaster ride.
Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are perfectly casted to bring this story and its characters to life. These are two talented narrators and their duet performance enhances this awesome story to another level of awesomeness. Their portrayal of the characters is perfection, they truly grasp their characters persona, bring out all their emotions which is heard in their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen🎧

Loved Holden and Daisy
I really enjoyed listening to Daisy and Holden’s journey. Daisy finally getting what she always wanted and Holden realizing he probably wanted Daisy all along. Daisy and Holden have interesting characteristics that make them lovable. Looking forward to reading Oliver and Luna’s story, Kai
And Wen always do a wonderful job narrating. I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review."
