About book Then He Kissed Me (2011)

Well, this is my first book by this author. It was recommended by someone on goodreads and I thought I would give her a shot since I am kind of on a contemporary romance run right now. To put it simply, I liked it-but didn't love it. There were things I liked about it and things that bugged me a little as well. First of all, let me say that the storyline is a little far-fetched considering it's the old prince falls for a commoner plot. The way she does it though makes the characters seem a little more real than past attempts. She spends a lot of time developing the characters by explaining their pasts and what molds their fears and hang-ups they are dealing with today. This story is about Stevie the tomboy of the family who's ex gets engaged to a princess very quickly after their breakup. She has a limo service and is forced to chauffer her ex and his fiance around town on New Year's Eve. Jack is the princess' brother who is very protective of his sister and warns Stevie not to try anything to ruin his sister's happiness. They take an instant dislike for each other yet are both also immediately in-lust with each other(of course). So ensues a lot of bickering and sexual tension. This is definitely at times entertaining and steamy. I do think they have very good chemistry together. Stevie gets roped into planning her ex's wedding....sorry but that would just be too awkward for words(!) and therefore must spend a lot of time around Jack as well. I just have to add....my one pet peeve about this story. It is pointed out MULTIPLE times by Jack that he thinks her lips are so sexy....the perfect blow-job lips. Ok, now I am not a prude. I have read every type of romance genre there is including some erotica but does he really have to say and think these exact same words repeatedly throughout the book? Really? I started rolling my eyes after about the third time. I found it a little disgusting that that thought popped into his head every time he saw her mouth. Ugh. Moving on... Anyhow, it was a nice read, and it left you wanting to read the next in the series about the last sister not yet hooked up. This book was definitely good enough for me to follow up with the next one. It had a lot of redeeming qualities. Lots of humor, good characterization, and a good HEA. I recommend giving it a shot. I usually do not like the middle books of a series as much as the first and last book; however, I did like this one more than the first in this Three Kisses trilogy. I think it was the sarcasm in this one. The first book was a cute romance, and mushier (in a good way), this one was spunky, snarky, and just had more flare. I have a feeling the third in this series is going to have fireworks. There are snippets in this second book that show you preview to the third book. This is a fun series for those of you looking for something light to read that you know has a good old fashioned Jane Austen ending. The trilogy has one book dedicated to each of the Baci sisters. They are on a mission to save their family winery by transforming it into a wedding destination in the famous Napa Valley. While struggling to save their heritage they each find or discover romance and all the ups and downs relating to their stories. I also would also recommend this for fans of the Nora Roberts wedding quartet.
