Review and Giveaway: Kiss This by Hadley Quinn

(This book includes mature content, including sex and language)

22-year-old Camryn Jacobs lost the love of her life once and vows to never kiss another guy unless she's in love with him. When she meets Teague, their attraction to one another is off the charts, and for the first time in two years, she wants to disregard her rule. 

But Camryn makes a bet that he can't go just one week without kissing her. She's protecting her own fragile heart, but her wit and smart mouth end up driving Teague crazy. 

When Teague is equally skilled at her challenge, their friendship turns complicated. He's not at all what she assumed, and he makes her feel things she never expected to feel. But sharing her true reasons for the no-kiss bet hurts too much and she keeps him in the dark. 

Teague has his own secrets to hide, starting with his last name. It's the reason he left town--to lick his wounds until he can piece his life back together. His time with Camryn proves that it might actually be possible, but with the threat of his family and his past ruining all that he's finally gained, can he really take that risk again?

Loving might be easy; learning to trust again could be too difficult to achieve..

There's nothing like the exhilaration of the first kiss with someone new. 
The buildup can make for an explosive reaction. The exact moment where your lips connect, with that someone- is like fireworks. Kiss This brings it to life. It reminded me of Colleen Hoover's scene in Hopeless with Sky and Holder- the book conveys that emotion.  

I love when a story offers mystery- it always keeps you guessing what is going to happen next. I enjoyed the twists and turns this book took, and it was fun trying to figure it all out. Each character had awesome qualities that made them absolutely loveable. The author did a good job with their witty banter. Both of these characters had haunted pasts and they were believably accomplished - overall it was a great story.


After suffering a loss, Camryn Jacobs can finally be herself, get back into the swing of things. She still however, puts up these walls that can threaten her relationships with others and especially men. And she vows not to kiss anyone until she is truly in love. She explains this to Teague- who is instantly drawn to her. 
He faces his own demons; Teague NEEDS to earn a kiss from Camryn but he has to agree to follow her rules. Camyrn had no idea just how hard Teague would be to resist, and the Author shows how she tries, and fails!


"You'll be kissing me at midnight and you'll never want to stop."

 
This story is written in third person but goes back and forth between the two characters. I love this! It lets you have perspective on what both characters are essentially thinking. It wasn't overly thought out either, it was straight to the point, with a great build up. Sometimes I felt like I was reading it too fast, I wanted to know how it was going to end!

Loved the heroine, Cam- she was awesome! She was gutsy with her come backs, keeps them on their toes though! Teague was sweet but he also had that cocky flair and he was still a little bit insecure and a good Alpha male.
 
Overall this book was great, and I am expecting much more from this author. Hadley you did a killer job!
