A unique take on a relations is what Sidney Halston has done with this newest book in her Panic series. She takes the perspective on both main characters and follows them through their own words from meeting to an affair to falling in love and separating to reuniting. Along the way Lola and Fox learn about each other's secrets and themselves.
Lola Daye is the new bartender at Panic and William Fox is the bouncer. When they literally bump into each other on her first day the attraction is immediate and intense. Lola's past experience keeps Fox at arm's length for months as he slowly wears down her guard to go out with him. They can't keep from watching each other. When Lola finally agrees to go out with Fox it's the anniversary of his brother's death so he misses their date. Lola is mad but forgives him when he explains and gives him a second chance. When they finally get together the sparks and emotions fly.
Lola only wants a temporary affair because she's leaving in a couple of months for her dream job. Fox can handle that until his feelings almost immediately become involved. Their first date takes place at Fox's house when he discovers Lola's secret and keeps it. He begins to learn sign language to communicate with her and as Lola learns more about Fox she realizes how sweet and adorable he is even though she wasn't into tattooed men until Fox.
I'm not one for the character written books as I call them because where it is just talking they seem to bore me. I do enjoy this double character speaking where the reader gets both sides to the story. KISS ME BACK shows you what happens when you find the right person, when you least expect it. When someone loves you as you are, it can change your life and that of the person you love as you show them your true self. I look forward to the next installment in the Panic series. This was a different read from the last Sidney Halston book I read but I enjoyed KISS ME BACK.
The only thing hotter than the Miami sun is the sexual tension at Panic, the South Beach nightclub where love knows no boundaries. Lola: I’ve seen the way women in line behind the velvet rope look at William Fox, like he’s an Armani-clad St. Peter at the pearly gates. Except Panic isn’t heaven, and this bouncer is no saint. He’s been tempting me to sin ever since I started working here, but Fox’s slick smile and bad-boy swagger tell me everything I need to know about him. Still, a girl has needs. And Fox looks ready to fulfill every last one—at least for a night. . . . Fox: I’m not used to being ignored—especially by women—but Lola Daye is different. The pretty bartender with the red lips and icy blue eyes seems perfectly happy pretending I don’t exist. Too bad, because the more she ignores me, the harder I fall. So I’m floored when she answers my drunken, flirty text with a yes. Lola claims she only wants a fling, but after one kiss, our bodies are speaking the same language. And I’m ready to prove that what we have could be forever. No cheating. No cliffhangers. And no dress code.
