KISS ME is another great story in the Fool's Gold series. While KISS ME is book nineteen in the series it's just as entertaining as all the others. KISS ME can be read as a stand alone. But all the other books in the series are well worth the read. Some of the characters from other books in the series appear in this one.

The two senior citizens, Eddie and Gladys are as entertaining as ever. They have been in every Fool's Gold book and they crack you up. In KISS ME you will learn some of Gladys' story. If you have seen the TV reality show "The Golden Sisters" -- think Eddie and Gladys. They are hilarious. And of course Mayor Marsha, who seems to know about everyone's life is also in this one and will of course work her magic once again.

After being suspended from her real estate job because of her kind heart Phoebe Kitze swears she's done doing favors. Then her friend Maya talks her into helping at her brother Zane's family ranch.

Cowboy/ranch owner Zane Nicholson is none too happy with his younger brother Chase's latest scheme which has Zane taking some tourists on a cattle drive, along with Eddie and Gladys. The tourists are a couple who cannot have children who accompany two foster kids on the trip along with a couple who are vegetarians on a cattle drive.

There is a lot of humor but the story also shows how the two siblings, Lucy and Tommy, have suffered in foster care and helps CJ to realize that even though her and Thad have been disappointed on several occasions with regard to having their own family that they can still have a family with Lucy and Tommy.

Zane has been so busy trying to be a father and brother to Chase until he finally figures out that he can't mend the past relationship with his father by being so hard on Chase. He finally accepts that he has to forgive himself, his father as well as Chase. He then apologizes to Chase and accepts him as he is. And in doing this he can now open his heart and accept love and take it.

KISS ME is another well written story by Susan Mallery!
