About That Kiss: A Heartbreaker Bay Novel by Jill Shalvis
4.0
About That Kiss is book 5 in the Heartbreaker Bay series. I'm really loving this group of friends that the series revolves around. This novel focuses on Kylie and Joe and I found myself hooked from the first chapter. If you're wanting a Contemporary Romance series to try you have to grab this series!
Kylie Masters is a bit different from our usual leading lady, she makes custom wood pieces at Reclaimed Woods and is quite talented. She's frantic when she loses the only thing she has left from her Grandfather that raised her and turns to Joe Malone to help track down who stole it. Our duo strikes a bargain, Kylie makes Joe's sister a wood framed mirror and he'll track down the person that stole her carved penguin. Joe's the perfect guy for the job since he works with Archer at his security business. They go through their suspects but the tension between the two grows until they decide to have a fling. Neither is looking for something serious but as the novel progressed I wondered how they'd make it work. Joe has some major commitment issues and Kylie has seen her mom go from guy to guy and it's left some insecurities on her part too.
About That Kiss is a great addition to a series I adore. I enjoyed seeing their romance unfold along with the mystery. I'm hoping we see some more of the guys in the security companies as future lead characters, because I can't get enough of them! If you're a fan of Contemporary Romance with a touch of whodunit mixed in you'll love this book.
