Hidden Kisses by Laura John

5.0

I received an ARC copy of this book and could not put it down!! I’ll admit I had my guard up with Johnny. My own life experiences with bullies made me skeptical that he could be rehabilitated, but his back story broke my heart! I don’t want to give any details, but if you enjoy stories that are real, raw, hard, painful, passionate, steamy, angst-ridden, loving, and full of witty dialogue, you should read this book! The emotional struggles are palpable, bringing tears to my eyes. Sometimes we forget there’s another side to every story, and we don’t know what another person’s life is really like behind closed doors. This book shows us the power in opening up to someone and fighting back the loneliness and demons of the past. To be honest, my head is spinning a bit at the fact that I wanted to strangle this character in the last book, then while reading this one I practically have pom poms cheering for him to get a HEA!
