Review: Kiss Me Tonight (Kiss Me #2) by Emma Hart

KMT-BANNER-LIVE















What do a wrong number text, a burning building, and a quirky florist have in common?

A hunky firefighter with an extra-large…hosepipe.


Kiss Me Tonight, an all-new hilarious standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!

KISSMETONIGHT-1


In hindsight, I never should have opened that text message. The last thing I needed first thing on a Monday was a picture of some stranger’s, um, eggplant, in my inbox.
I also should have replaced the batteries in my fire alarm, because my Friday night did not need to end with my apartment building going up in flames.
But it’s fine. It’s fine. Everything is fine.
I’m only lying in a hospital bed with more split ends than I’ve ever had, almost all my Earthly possessions have turned to ash, and apparently, they don’t serve wine to patients in this place.
But like I said, it’s fine.
Until he walks in.
The guy who saved my life. My hero. Noah Jacobs.
And the universe is amusing itself at my expense, because the dirty photo I woke up to on Monday?
It’s his.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Kiss Me Tonight is the second book in the Kiss Me series by Emma Hart. Each book in the series is a stand-alone and focuses on a different woman. You see, the heroines of the series are best friends, so we see them a lot. We got some facts about the third book when we read the first book in the series for example.

The presence of the friends doesn't steal the spotlight from the couple and their romance though. It was balanced between the romance, Reagan's friends and her crazy family. I would have loved a little bit more heat than what we got. And I should clarify that I am not talking about the heat that ended up burning Reagan's house to ashes. Reagan and Noah had a very interesting beginning in their romance. The blurb covers a rather large part of the book (like 1/3 of it tops) and it explains the set up of the story pretty well. The only part I cringed at was when Reagan showed the eggplant picture to her friends. That happens before the fire, but I knew who was the owner of the eggplant and it made it weird to think that Reagan's friends would know what he was packing. Some things should be kept hidden.

The book wasn't perfect, but it was very enjoyable and I had a good time reading it. It could have used something to spice up the story a little bit, but overall it was a good book and I liked it, so I would recommend it. 


Excerpt
“Hi.” I glanced over at him, my lips curving. “Hi.” “You ready?” “To escape the madhouse? What do you think?” “That I should put my foot down.” I winked and clicked my belt into place. “Let’s go. Where are we going?” Noah pulled away from the curb. “I was going to let you direct me. I haven’t been in town long, like I said, and I definitely haven’t been out for lunch.” I leaned back in the seat. “Hmm. What do you want to eat?” “You’re the one breaking out of jail. I’m happy to go wherever you want to.” “Oh, no. I hate making decisions like this. Do you know how difficult it is to pick somewhere to eat?” I shifted my whole body so I could look at him. “Do you want Chinese? Thai? Steak? Korean? Pizza? Burgers? Caribbean? Mexican? Spanish? French? Italian?” Noah’s gaze darted my way. “Do you have all those places in Creek Falls?” “No, but that doesn’t make the decision any easier,” I replied. “Well? Burgers? Pizza? Mexican? Italian? Steak? Or Chinese?” “I don’t—shit me, I feel like I’m being interrogated by the fucking Government.” “You may as well be. Pick somewhere and I’ll tell you where to go.” “I said you can pick.” “I don’t care. I’ve been everywhere. They’re all good. You’re the new boy in town. Pick somewhere.” “You’re demanding, do you know that?” “Yes, Preston—oh, he’s my brother—regularly points out how demanding and difficult I am.” I paused. “If you really want me to pick, I will, but you can’t complain after.” He turned the blinker on so we’d head in the direction of Main Street. “You just said they’re all good.” “They are, but it’s not my fault if you feel like pizza and end up with a taco.” “I can honestly say that I do not care what I eat for lunch as long as it’s edible.” “Right. Then turn left, then right, and pull into the parking lot next to the liquor store.” “I see you’re taking us to a reputable location.” “Oh, no. The liquor store is a pit stop. It just happens to be on the way to the Mexican place I like.” “I see. So you’re using me for liquor.” “You’ve met my great-aunt. Damn straight I’m using you for liquor.”

Tour: His to Hold by S.L. Sterling



Title: His to Hold
Series: The Malone Brothers
Author: S.L. Sterling
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 23, 2019

All work and no play was a phrase I knew all too well. But that was about to change. Getting dumped at the start of my much overdue vacation was not how I planned to spend my time off. Neither was running into someone from my past. It was the last thing I expected.... but just what I needed.
My brother’s best friend was headed home when our paths collided at the airport during a massive storm. Twenty years of chemistry crackles around us like lightning, and we give in to what’s been a long time coming. 
From stranded old friends to insatiable lovers, spending a week together at his lake house, I'm reminded what it’s like to live in the moment. When I realize I didn’t really know him at all, I can’t help but think... I might have been his to hold, but could I be his to keep?

I guess there are worse things than being forced into taking a vacation. I can think of a few. But being fresh out of a bad relationship, and in the middle of a huge merger, is not the ideal time to be jetting off for two weeks. 
One week in, I decide to cut my trip short, only to end up stranded at the airport. Just my luck. Everything changes when I run into my best friend’s little sister. Twenty years later, she’s all grown up and very much available. One thing leads to another, and we find ourselves back at my place riding out the storm and reconnecting in ways I never imagined.
Feelings that had been delayed are finally able to take flight. The girl who held my attention all those years ago is now the woman holding my heart. I’m falling fast, but when we end up face to face in the boardroom, will our vacation romance go from pleasure to business?

How does one’s life change so drastically in the blink of an eye? That is the question I ask myself every day. 
One minute, I am tied to a chair, awaiting what I am sure is my death at the hands of my father. The next I am safely at home, living my life, trying to convince myself I don’t need nor want a relationship with the sexiest man I have ever met.
No matter how much I say this to him, he never leaves my side.
Soon we are building a life together, one I couldn’t see before him. 
How do I hold on to this life, when someone is hell bent on destroying it?
Colton
The moment her picture came across my phone, something about her called to me. I knew she was going to be my wife. My light. My air. But first, I needed to save her.
She pushed, tugged and tried everything she could to get me to walk away from her. Until she realized, there was no use.
We are building a life together. One I plan on protecting with my own.
What does a man do, when everything he loves is being threatened?
I kill anyone who gets in my way.










Hello all!!! Thank you for reading this story. 
A little about me. I live in Illinois (hoping to move soon). I began writing when I was 14 and was published in my first poetry anthology at the age of 15. 
I have been blessed to have made some of the best friends in this industry and without their support, I might have given up. 
I love readers and can be found interacting with them, having a great time online and in person when they find at signings. I would love to meet you too.
