Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

Kissing Lessons introduces us to the New England town of Kissing Creek. We also meet life time resident, Audrey, and visiting professor Ronan. This is a book I have mixed feelings about. I liked both Audrey and Ronan, but had a hard time connecting with them. I’m not sure why, but the emotional investment wasn’t there for me.

I enjoyed the fact that Ronan was able to look past circumstances and see just how wonderful Audrey was, but I think part of my struggle was that the towns people around her seemed content to let the struggle happen in the first place. Maybe it’s the current world-wide situation, but part of me really wondered how Audrey was forced into being the sole caregiver for 4 younger siblings when her father was present. My admiration for Audrey’s character was tempered with frustration that more wasn’t done to help her.

The push/pull between Ronan and Audrey was entertaining and I was glad to see them inspire growth in each other. It was nice to see that both characters evolved in their efforts to see if a happy ending was possible. The random quotes and trivia added an element of fun that helped to offset some of the more serious elements.

Overall, this was a book that I liked. I am curious to see what may happen to Audrey’s siblings and other residents of Kissing Creek.

Today we have the blog tour of Stefanie London’s KISSING LESSONS! Check out this gorgeous new romance and be sure to get your copy today!

Title: Kissing Lessons

Author: Stefanie London

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Kissing Lessons:

Welcome to Kissing Creek, where everything has a romance-themed pun for a name and love is lurking around every corner…

 

Audrey Miller doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after, so she is definitely living in the wrong town. But she’s never getting out of Kissing Creek, because playing pseudo-mom for her younger siblings doesn’t leave time for much else. She’ll do anything to make sure they don’t end up stuck like she is, working as a barista in a college town, serving Pink Passion mochas with Chocolate Smooch donuts.

 

Then Ronan Walsh, a new young professor and walking cliché, right down to the elbow patches on his blazer, steps in for a coffee and into her life. She knows his type—intelligent and charming, yet sweet as a cinnamon roll, the sort of man she’s inevitably attracted to but is always out of her league. So why does someone like him have any interest in a worker bee with no future?

 

Her bland-as-oatmeal existence has nothing to offer, but Ronan’s temporary teaching position is only a stepping stone on his way to somewhere else. He isn’t here to put down roots, Audrey’s roots are firmly planted—neither of them is looking for love. And maybe that’s just perfect.

 

But in a small town called Kissing Creek, sometimes love can be impossible to avoid…
