KISS ME HELLO is book three in the Sweetest Kisses
series by
Grace Burrowes. This series follows three brothers who
are
lawyers working together and living in a small town in
Maryland. I follow Ms. Burrowes on social media, and
knowing she's a child abuse lawyer who has horses, this
book
seems tailor-made for her to show off her areas of
expertise, and she does so smoothly. The story and the
romance are languid- too languid for my taste.
Grieving Sid Lidstrom has arrived in Damson Valley
cash-strapped, escaping Baltimore after her brother died.
She has moved away from the city to provide a better life
for her foster son Luis. Sid is fighting the probate
lawyers after her brother's death, and is cash-strapped as
she tries to settle in to the area with her foster son.
She
is fighting DSS over the disposition of her foster son,
and
fighting with her foster son about adopting him. She has
so
much on her plate, it made even me feel overwhelmed and
tired as the reader!
MacKenzie Knightley is a lawyer, but he also shoes horses,
and he meets Sid in his role as a farrier when he arrives
to help with two huge draft horses on her property that
she
doesn't realize are there. Mac is a gentleman who takes
care of everyone around him: His brothers, especially
after
their father's death, his nieces, and the family horses as
well as the horses at the local therapy riding stable.
Mac
has his own heartaches that have kept him alone for ten
years and that make him a very sympathetic character.
I absolutely love the brother heroes in the Sweetest
Kisses
series, and Mac is no exception. Mac is smart, tender,
and
a real gentleman. Not to mention he's very sexy, and good
with animals (which is also sexy in a different way). I
like Sidonie, although I don't like her as much as I like
Mac. Sid is willing to stand up for what she feels is
right, although she seems to be fairly passive in her
fighting against the injustices levied against her. What
I
don't like here is Mac and Sid together. The jump to love
feels to abrupt to me. Also, they don't seem to have a
lot
of chemistry. Their lovemaking is sweet and slow, but I
don't truly feel the passion between them. KISS ME HELLO
is
a gentle and slow romance, and Grace Burrowes, normally
one
of my current favorite authors, has written much more
compelling books.
New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Grace Burrowes brings her gorgeous
writing and incredible storytelling abilities to a brand
new
series of contemporary romance.
He
loves her, she loves him not...?
In the
third novel of The Sweetest Kisses series, single mom
Sidonie Lindstrom has her hands full with a troubled
foster
son, an abrupt adjustment to country living, and an
unforeseen lack of funds. When her taciturn neighbor,
MacKenzie Knightley, repeatedly offers practical help, Sid
reminds herself she's not interested in the neighbor-
despite
his kindness, pragmatism and quiet charm. MacKenzie sees
the
vulnerability beneath her pride, and he's determined to
change her mind...
