EVERY LITTLE KISS is Book two in Kendra Leigh
Castle's Harvest Cove series. As much as I liked
the
previous book, I was not sure if I would like this story
about event planner Emma Henry. In the previous book, Emma
seemed a little too uptight. However, I love this book.
EVERY LITTLE KISS completely surpassed my expectations and
I ended up enjoying it even more than the first book.
At the opening of EVERY LITTLE KISS Emma meets hot cop
Seth
Andersen when he escorts her home, at her insistence,
after
she parties a little too hard at her sister's bachelorette
party. Seth immediately earns nice guy cred by not only
taking Emma home but taking care of her while she is
recovering from her night of drunken debauchery. In spite
of this inauspicious beginning, it doesn't take long for
things to heat up between the two. One of the reasons I
love EVERY LITTLE KISS so much is because I really like
the
two main characters. Although Emma and Seth both have some
emotional issues to work out, I love how self-aware they
are when it comes to their flaws. With Seth and Emma,
Kendra Leigh Castle has written two extremely complex, yet
very sympathetic and likable characters.
Although Emma has her moments of social awkwardness, I
don't think she ever comes off as obnoxious. Likewise,
although Seth has a little PTSD from his time as a
soldier,
he never lashes out at Emma in hurtful ways. The journey
that they take, both together and separately, in EVERY
LITTLE KISS and the personal growth they experience is
very
powerful. The process that Emma goes through in trying to
make friends for the first time and the fun relationships
she develops with those girlfriends are some of the
highlights of EVERY LITTLE KISS. The chemistry between
Seth
and Emma is off the charts and there is a lot of sexy to
go
along with the sweet.
EVERY LITTLE KISS is a lot of fun, super sexy, and a treat
for romance fans. Kendra Leigh Castle populates the town
of
Harvest Cove with three-dimensional characters, and tons
of
real emotion. I eagerly await the next book in this
charming series. This series has made Kendra Leigh Castle
one of my new favorite authors.
