Excerpt
“What kind of a kiss?” he asked. She was momentarily bewildered. “I don’t know. It was a kiss. A normal kiss. A nice kiss.” She cocked her head at him. “How many kinds of kisses are there?”
He just looked at her for a long moment before coming toward her. He backed her to the wall and pressed his big hands on either side of her head. “There are many kinds of kisses,” he said.
Her breath had backed up in her throat,
where her heart had lodged, pounding wildly.
“S-s-such as?”
“Such as this one.” And then he leaned in and covered her mouth with his.
Only when he’d thoroughly plundered and pillaged and left her boneless did he lift his head and look into her eyes.
“Wow,” she whispered, fully aware she was still holding on to him like he was a lifeline, but the bones in her legs had liquefied. “I mean . . .” She shook her head. “Wow.”
He nodded. “Yeah. So to be clear, that wasn’t ‘a normal kiss’ or even ‘a nice kiss.’ It was a ‘wow’ kiss. Any questions?”

What I thought about About that Kiss
After
Kylie and Joe share a hot kiss one night, things between them are a bit
awkward. When he comes to her woodworker shop to purchase a birthday
present for his sister, Joe ends up making a deal with Kylie to help her
find a lost family heirloom in exchange for the gift. This puts Joe
and Kylie in close proximity and their passion (and friendship) builds
to inferno size. Joe is absolutely yummy, and I loved Kylie's "I can do
it myself" attitude. They are perfect for each other!
Only
problem is that Joe's a "no relationship" kind of guy because of past
situations that have left deep scars on his heart. But Kylie sees and
feels something else in him -- it's just that Joe is too afraid to admit
what he's really feeling.
I
loved this story. Joe and Kylie are so good together, and it's an
interesting journey for Joe to realize what everyone else sees in how he
feels about Kylie. It made for a super romantic story, and the missing
heirloom story was a tight little mystery that kept things moving along
at a great pace. I was at "the end" before I knew it as I devoured this
book in a day.
About
that Kiss is a fantastic standalone addition to the series. I
definitely recommend it. About that Kiss might be my favorite in the
series...so far!
