Just A Kiss by Carrie Elks

5.0

I’ve loved every book I’ve read by Carrie Elks so far. And the books in the Angel Sands Series are no exception. So when I heard the fourth book in the series was coming, and it had a Christmas theme, I couldn’t be more excited. A Christmas and Carrie Elks read is my kind of perfect. So when I was able too, I started reading as fast as I could.

In ‘Just A Kiss’ we meet Brecken Miller. Brecken is back in the little town he grew up in after leaving it years ago after his mom died. Now his best friend Lucas is getting married at Christmas, a time Breck normally disappears to escape the day his mom past away all those years ago. But with a wedding coming up, disappearing isn’t an option. And when Brecken sees Lucas’s baby sister Caitie for the first time in years, he is struck by her beauty and kindness.Caitie rarely comes back to the little town her parents and brother still life. But with her brother getting married, and her helping out with the wedding preparations she can’t stay away anymore. And when she sees one of her brothers friends, who she had a major crush on growing up, she can’t deny it’s good to be back home.

‘Just A Kiss’ is definitely a great, fun and really romantic read. I loved this book from the very first page. The two main characters Brecken and Caitie have this chemistry between them that is flying of the pages, and I just loved getting to know them. The whole best friend of her brother thing, is always something I enjoy. (Perhaps because my husband is the brother of one of my school girlfriends LOL) And the whole Christmas thing made this book even more enjoyable. I found myself reading this book till way to late because I just couldn’t get enough.

The best part about this book for me, was definitely how ‘real’ Brecken and Caitie where. They aren’t perfect, and their life isn’t perfect. It really makes this book feel like something that could really happen and I love that.

Next to the two main characters we also get to read about the other characters in the Angel Sands series, and I just love that. It’s like catching up with old friends!! And we also get to read about Caitlie’s best friend Harper, and I can’t wait to read more about her. I read something about her book coming up next. I’m excited.

If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing and very romantic Christmas read.. This book is definitely for you.
