The Kiss Countdown follows Amerie whose life isn't going the way she had hoped. Recently single and trying to get her business of the ground, she finds herself in a uncomfortable situation at a coffee shop. When she pretends to be dating the stranger who happens to be an astronaut she had poured coffee on to prove to her ex she has moved on, she finds herself having to continue the ruse for his family. But they soon find that they may be attracted to each other more than they thought.
I thought this was a really interesting story and I really enjoyed reading this book. I received this in my Afterlight subscription and I am so glad that it was included in the box.
I really felt for Amerie as someone who went through a close family member having health issues. It's heart breaking to watch them suffer and waiting for hte other shoe to drop. I could understand why she was so stand offish with people and so obsessed with making sure her mother was okay. I can understand where she was coming from but what I loved was watching Vincent really bring her out of her shell. I thought the relationship was so special and I really loved seeing ti develop and grow.
I really loved Vincent and his family as well. I liked that this book dealt with family issues on Vincent's side and seeing how they worked though them. It was great seeing how Amerie helped to try to resolve those issues and seeing them grow closer together.
Overall, if you are looking for a really great romance that's a quick read about family and love and learning to live the life you want, definitely pick up this book.
