I love Fairlane and nothing beats returning there for the Holidays with the steamy, insta love novella. I instantly fell in love with Gabi and Jax.
Gabi heads to Fairlane to visit her friends, Alex and Luke, but the weather has a different idea. She ends up in a ditch and is rescued by a handsome man, Jax. From that very first moment these two felt a connection, they were drawn to each other and after a few short days didn’t want to be apart. But is Gabi willing to leave her LA lifestyle for a man she just met and live in Fairlane?
Gabi and Jax had so much chemistry throughout the entire story. I loved that Jax didn’t treat Gabi different because of her celebrity status and Gabi showed Jax his scar isn’t scary. Jax is sweet, caring and had me swoony from the very start.
Kiss Me is a perfect holiday novella and if you are new to Fairlane, it is a GREAT introduction to this wonderful town.
RATING 4.5 STARS
Kiss Me is book four in the Fairlane series by Harlow Layne. This is a short, wonderful insta-love holiday romance that can be read as a stand alone. I have not read any of the previous books in this series and it didn’t bother my enjoyment of this at all! When I read the blurb for this, something just told me that I needed to read it and I am so glad that I did!
Gabriella (Gabi) Santina has had a bad week! She needs a change of scenery so she decides to take her friends up on their offer of visiting them at their home in Fairlane, Missouri. Only the trip was spur of the moment and she didn’t let them know she was coming. She also didn’t realize that she would land smack in the middle of an unexpected ice storm. This is nothing like the weather she has in Los Angeles but she does her best to attempt to make her way to her friends home. Only the weather gets the better of her and she ends up in an accident on the side of the rode. Lucky for her, an angel, or maybe just the most beautiful man she has ever seen, rescues her.
Jaxson (Jax) Stone has spent most of the last two years hiding himself away from the public. Because of that, he’s awkward around people now. Something told him he needed to get in his truck on that freezing icy night. And then he saw her. To him, she was the one who was an angel.
With the power out and no where else to go, Jax is forced to take Gabi to his home to wait out the storm. They are both drawn to each other but Jax does his best to be a gentleman. It doesn’t take long, though, for both of them to give in to their feelings for each other. But Jax lives in Fairlane, his business is here. And Gabi is used to a much different sort of life in Los Angeles. Is there any way that they can merge their lives? Or was this just a one night stand? A night that began with a kiss under the mistletoe.
I loved this so much. Jax was so swoony. He was a quiet man, but he also knew when to use his words. And some of his words were dirty, toe curling words. This is short, sexy and sweet. And I loved every word. This is definitely one you want to add to your holiday reading. It’s the perfect story to warm you up on a chilly winter night.
“I had found my destiny.
My soulmate.”
All I want for Christmas is … a Jax of my very own! What I absolutely love, love, love about Harlow Layne’s Heroes are they are all so very different from each other, but oh so loveable. As soon as I am convinced that I have fallen for the Ultimate Harlow’s Hero, she goes and writes another one and I find myself once again torn. The constant conundrum. Luckily I can love them all!! I love that her guys aren’t perfect, they come from all walks of life and most have been through some stuff, some not so pleasant too. But even with all that said her men don’t treat women like dumpsters, they are this perfect blend of Alpha in the bedroom but oh so swoony and sweet and all around great guys the rest of the time.
Jax is all that and a bag of Christmas cookies! He’s had a horrible couple of years and it’s left him hurt and hiding in his cabin away from people. When he ventured out into a snowy ice storm, he happens upon a car accident and finds a beautiful unconscious Gabi.
He doesn’t recognize who she is and when she wakes she only thinks he’s an angel. I don’t want to give away a lot of what happens because it’s a novella and a really quick read. I will just say due to several circumstances, Gabi ends up having to go back to Jax’s cabin to stay and wait out the winter storm.
Well let me tell you, Baby, it’s cold outside, but it’s sure got hot up in that cabin. There are reasons that Jax thinks he is unworthy of being with someone as beautiful and talented and successful as Gabi. Reasons he would think he would be a “ Beast to her Belle” if you will, but those things about himself are the things that I think make him even more beautiful to her. She is amazing and perfect for him. She doesn’t see his imperfections as a problem, nor is she bothered by them ,they are just part of his story. She’s not at all what people would expect her to be and I adore her! I love that they were both broken in different ways, but the other person was is just the glue needed to put the pieces of each other back together again.
This book…total perfectness. It’s like the magic of Christmas morning. A night by a cozy fire. Chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. All the things that leave you feeling warm and gooey and oh so good! That’s what this sweet little book does to you! I promise you want to grab it ASAP! Obviously lots more goodness happens between the pages of this amazing novella, but I wouldn’t dare deprive you of getting to experience it for yourself. So grab it today!

I devoured it. I absolutely loved this book so much. It was a very quick insta love story but it was full of passion and heat. The storyline and characters are absolutely fantastic and so enjoyable. I read this in one sitting as I couldn’t get enough. A brilliant edition to this series.
Jax was fine, Gaby was annoying.
Gabi is immature and annoying. With a potty mouth.
Jax rescues her and takes her home for some reason.
