In the last and third installment in the WITH THIS KISS serial, Colin Barry has returned home, damaged in body and spirit. Colin hopes he can sway the love of his life, Lady Grace into marrying him instead of her intended. But he has to prove to Grace that his feelings run deep for her and not her sister, Lily.

Tender moments are shared between Colin and Grace as they both share their insecurities. Neither of them believe that they are good enough for each other but despite their faults and misunderstandings, their love is unconditional and true.

Though predictable, James is able to bring readers a sense of satisfaction with this last installment. For most of this serial, I saw Colin as unworthy of Grace's ministrations. He was often crude and too alpha for his own good, but when he is with Grace, something softens about him and you suddenly see him as a man in love.

Satisfaction is what I felt when finishing this book. Touching and heartbreaking, WITH THIS KISS will lure readers in with its endearing characters and their journey to love. I highly recommend this serial for readers who enjoy a little heartbreak with the romance.

James' serial has also convinced me that this style of books isn't as torturous as it seems and I look forward to reading more of them in the future.
