Miss Comfort Kennedy has come a long way from the scared little girl left for dead after her wagon train was attacked and everyone was murdered. Thanks to her saviors and now uncles, Newton Prescott and Tucker Jones, she not only has a successful life in banking but able to bury the tragedy from so long ago that changed her life forever. Comfort fell in love with Bram DeLong on the night of her coming out party nine years ago, but over time she realizes that Bram was really never in love with her. On the evening of Bram's brother Bode's birthday party Bram tells all their friends and family that Comfort has agreed to marry him. Comfort has no idea why Bram would do such a thing especially since Bram hasn't proposed to her or asked permission from her uncles. Comfort agrees to a short engagement until Bode captures her attention with an unexpected kiss.

Bode DeLong's interest in Comfort Kennedy began nine years ago at her coming out party that he was forced to attend. At the time, Comfort was too young for him but with her engagement to his brother, Bode becomes suspicious and determined to win her himself. He just has to find a way to spend time with Comfort. Circumstances turn in his favor when an injury to his brother opens the door for Bode to steal time with Comfort but the engagement gets more confusing as Bode realizes there is more to Bram's public announcement than meets the eye. Bram has always been able to get anything he wants regardless of those he hurts along the way. Bode wants to make sure Comfort is not in anyway harmed by those decisions and hopes that he can become a part of Comforts life that she can not live without.

Jo Goodman is a master at historical romance. KISSING COMFORT is charming, humorous, all consuming, and a blast to read. I refused to put it down until the last page. I love it!
