Sealed With A Kiss
by Susan
Lute
Contemporary
Romance
When
friends become lovers, is there a chance friendship can turn into something
more?
Cyber
security consultant, Sloane Cooper is dumped by her wanna-be politician
boyfriend, his parting shot—not only are you the worst girlfriend ever, but
you're a lousy kisser, too! So she turns to game developer Miles Preston for
“kissing lessons”. But Miles doesn't want to be Sloane's rebound guy. How does
he convince his best friend steamy kisses are not enough? Traditional wooing
won't work. Can a few well chosen gaming obstacles do the trick instead?
Argh! “You heard that,” she
wailed.
“Yes, I did,” he said, his voice
serious as a hundred dollar bill.
At least it wasn't pity she
heard. Part of her was grateful. The rest silently screamed No!
Her relationship with Todd hadn't
been perfect, but at least while they were together she wasn't that girl in her
high school senior class, who'd been called four eyes all through grade
school—still too skinny, and geeky, and in love with role playing games to get
a date. When she finally had, she almost hadn't recovered from the resulting
fallout.
“Can you believe that guy?” she
said into the solid man chest belonging to her best friend.
Miles pulled her hands from her
face, lifting her chin so her swimming gaze met his. “He's a troglodyte.”
“You're right. He is a
troglodyte.” She tilted back, pulled the stylish blue glasses from where they
rested on top of her head and perched them on the bridge of her nose. As a
defense barrier they worked pretty damn good. “Am I a bad kisser, Miles?”
A spark flashed in his green eyes
for a second, then just as quickly disappeared. Her breath hitched before
returning to normal. That wasn't supposed to happen. Not with Miles.
“Wouldn't know, would I? Best
friend here. And the best-friend's handbook says absolutely no kissing.”
Oh my god! He didn't remember!
Miles has been in love with Sloane pretty much since the day he met her. Unfortunately, the timing was off and she ended up dating someone else while he became her best friend. Sloane is staring to have feelings for Miles, but she's unsure of how to deal with them. One thing is for sure, they can't seem to keep their hands of each other for very long. Short, cute and sexy friends to lovers story, perfect for a quick afternoon read.
I received an ARC via NetGalley for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
Like
all children of military families, Susan spent her childhood moving from one
duty station to the next. An ardent student of human nature, she acquired a
love for ancient history and myth, a fascination for the ridiculous and
unusual, and is the first to admit, she still collects way too much useless
information. These days, when not working as a Registered Nurse, she writes
whenever she can. When not writing, her favorite things to do are spend time
with family, read, watch movies, garden, take black-and-white photos, travel,
and remodel her house.
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI got delayed this morning and had to go to The Day Job. Thanks so much for hosting Sealed With A Kiss :)
DeleteMy pleasure and thanks for stopping by and answering questions!
DeleteWhich famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?
ReplyDeleteMai...complex question! Barbara Cartland! She was and is one of my first fav authors. She lived in England, which I loved when I lived there. She published over 700 novels, the last when she was 92 (this may be exaggerated gossip) and she left a reported 100 novels yet unpublished. She died at 98. She was an impressive lady.
