JUST ONE KISS by Carly Phillips

 

Release Date: August 16

It was supposed to be one fun night of hot sex.

It turned into a second. Then a third.

Now Mother Nature is having the last word—with a secret baby surprise!

Jade Dare has done everything in her power to overcome her mother’s unstable influence. Changed her name. Became a success. Vowed never to risk passing on the potential for inherited pain. What has it gotten her? One fiancé who wanted her for money. A second who cheated on her with his brother’s wife.

Now she's sworn off men. Or at least off serious relationships. But when the chance to indulge in a one night stand with a man she’s secretly fantasized about arrives, she jumps in. Only to land heart-first into a case of the feels she can’t bring herself to trust.

Knox Sinclair always suspected he liked his brother’s fiancé a little too much, that’s why he kept his hands to himself. But with ties broken and Jade all too willing, a no-strings-attached night sounds like a damned good idea.

Except one night isn’t nearly enough. But while Knox is busy convincing Jade they have a chance at forever, the past is planning one last parting shot.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Just One Kiss is the sixth book in The Kingston Family series by Carly Phillips, but it can be read as a stand-alone.  I love how the author has woven all the series together, which lets us revisit characters from other books.  The Kingston and Dare families are some of my favorite characters and I was extremely excited to see Jade and Knox getting their own story.  The book was well written, paced perfectly, and so easy to read.  It’s one of those books you can’t put down and once you finish, you just want more. 

After two failed engagements, Jade Dare was sworn off men and relationships.  The prospect of a one-night stand with the man she has dreamed of sounded good until it turned into more nights and her feelings got involved.

Knox Sinclair had kept away from Jade when she was engaged to his stepbrother but now, she is planning his sister’s wedding and is single.  He thought a night with no strings would get her out of his system except one night was never enough.  Can he convince Jade to give love another chance?

Jade and Knox were the perfect couple and they had both been betrayed and hurt by love in the past.  Together they can work through those feelings and find love again. I loved seeing them grow and learn to trust again after all the pain they had suffered.  I was cheering for them from the beginning, and I hope to see them again in future books.  This was another amazing book by the author, and I look forward to the next book in the series.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
