NEVER BEEN KISSED

Romance

NEVER BEEN KISSED is the second book in the Boys of Bishop series but you can definitely read it as a stand alone as well.

All Ashley Montgomery wanted was to get away from her political family and her family name. She wanted to go overseas to use her money and resources to help those in need. What she didn't want was to be captured by Somali pirates with her friend. She really doesn't want the one man that turned her down years ago to come to her rescue.

Brody Baxter has always worked as security for politicians. It's what he does best. He never in a million years thought that an old employer would be coming to him for a favor. Especially one involving Ashley Montgomery. He used to work for her father years before but when an incident involving Ashley got him fired he though that he would never see the family again.

When Brody decides to give Ashley a place to hide from the public eye he thought he would just drop her off and stay maybe a day or two. Soon these two are thrown together and the old feelings start to awaken. Can Brody walk away from this sweet girl a second time or will the circumstances make Brody see what he has been missing all these years.

NEVER BEEN KISSED is a great book!! It will hook you from page one. Ashley and Brody are perfect together. Ashley is the sweet next door type and Brody is the brooding hero. The chemistry between all the characters is spot on. I fell in love with the side story between Sean and Cora. Cora is a strong and independent woman who never relies on anyone. To watch her start opening up and start showing her feelings is such a sweet story. I can't wait to see what Molly O'Keefe has in store for us next!

SUMMARY

Perfect for readers of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson, Molly Oโ€™Keefeโ€™s second novel in her exciting new seriesโ€”The Boys of Bishopโ€”features an irresistible romance and unforgettable characters in a page-turning story that delivers equal parts emotion and humor . . . with a little edge to boot. As the daughter of a wealthy politician, Ashley Montgomery has had enough of her parentsโ€™ expectations for her future and is going her own way, volunteering to work at a refugee camp in Africa. But her act of charity turns dangerous when she takes a boat trip and is abducted by Somali pirates. Enter Brody Baxter, who was a bodyguard for the Montgomery family ten years ago and doesnโ€™t think twice about coming to Ashleyโ€™s rescue. Handsome and tough, Brody has always done what needed to be done. So he swoops in, saves Ashley, and brings her to a place where she can rest and recuperate without the glare of the press and her demanding family: Brodyโ€™s small hometown of Bishop, Arkansas. But Ashley soon realizes that sheโ€™s not the only one in need of healing. Holed up with Ashley in a tiny apartment over his brotherโ€™s bar in Bishop, Brody is tempted and torn in ways he never anticipated. Beautiful Ashley, vibrant despite her ordeal, fearless enough to love him beyond his wall of self- punishment, is now determined to save him. But with a little faith and a lot of love, they just may find happiness in each othersโ€™ arms.
