Blog Tour: Review of About that Kiss by Jill Shalvis


Author: Jill Shalvis
Publisher: Avon
Date of publication: January 23, 2018

When love drives you crazy . . .

When sexy Joe Malone never calls after their explosive kiss, Kylie shoves him out of her mind. Until she needs a favor, and it’s a doozy. Something precious to her has been stolen and there’s only one person with unique finder-and-fixer skills that can help—Joe. It means swallowing her pride and somehow trying to avoid the temptation to throttle him—or seduce him.

the best thing to do . . .

No, Joe didn’t call after the kiss. He’s the fun time guy, not the forever guy. And Kylie, after all she’s been through, deserves a good man who will stay. But everything about Kylie makes it damned hard to focus, and though his brain knows what he has to do, his heart isn’t getting the memo.

… is enjoy the ride.

As Kylie and Joe go on the scavenger hunt of their lives, they discover surprising things about each other. Now, the best way for them to get over “that kiss” might just be to replace it with a hundred more.

About that Kiss is the fifth book in the Heartbreaker Bay series. It made my most anticipated reads of 2018 list.  Usually about this time, I find my interest fading in a series because I feel like the stories start to blend together and there is nothing new.  Not so with this series.  I have to say that this is probably my second favorite of the series so far. Accidentally on Purpose still holds the number one slot.  That being said, I adored this book.  This is Joe and Kylie's story.  Someone has stolen a memento from her childhood (a carved penguin from her grandfather) and is holding it hostage.  She runs to Joe to get it back.  

It was just such a fun read.  The banter between Joe and Kylie was so funny and comfortable.  Nothing felt forced or cliche.  The romance was steamy and just fun.  I was rooting for them the whole time.There were so many laugh out loud moments that it was hard to pick a favorite.  I loved Kylie's "disguises".  The other characters from the previous books make appearances here and add to the fun of the story.  They are all among my favorite "fiction friend groups" and I would love to have friends like that in real life.  

Does Kylie manage to get the guy and the penguin?  You''ll have to read to find out.  The next book in the series doesn't come out until this fall.  I can't wait!  This is a great series and one you don't want to miss.
