Every Little Kiss. 5 stars
I read the Christmas Kissed by the Bay book first in this series and was excited to read some more of the series. This book was really different from that one but I liked it just as much. A wonderful setting with great characters and hurdles to be overcome.
The moment the title clicked for me when reading was amazing. It made everything seem more vibrant. Weird, since I’ve never experienced that before, but completely awesome with emphasis on the awe.
The Perfect Kiss. 5 stars
I am excited to learn more about one of the friends from the first book. I’m glad this book picks up at a similar time as to when the last book ended.
I love the whole storyline. The tension both personally and professionally was enticing and engaging.
I loved the themes of female independence put alongside of relationships. This book was extraordinarily well done. I can’t wait to read the next book!
Just One Kiss. 5 stars
After meeting Charlie in the last book I was overjoyed to find her story coming up next! Such a fantastic premise. I wanted to jump around by the time the first chapter was over. This book was even better than the first two, and that’s saying something! I just wanted to keep reading this book forever! Crazy unexpected twists and turns. Can’t wait to see what’s up next in this series!

There’s no place like home. Four childhood friends find this out. They grew up as best friends in a small seaside town called Blue Moon Bay. But then life happens. After high school they grew apart. Heartache and abandonment issues cause two of them to move away to escape, and seek a new life. But after years away they all end up back in their home town. This box set is about three of the friends. Charlie, Olivia, and Ronnie all find love in their small town. Legend says kissing under the Blue Moon will guarantee the two will find love. For these three the legend is true. I hope there is a story about Megan, and Ronnie’s sister Claire. The secondary characters in these stories were great, and I hope some of them get their own stories. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another great story by Susan Hatler! I was caught up in the characters in the first chapter and wanted to know the outcome. The characters dealt with real-life scenarios but at the same time also had some fun. A great Happily-Ever-After story-line.

I just loved each of these books:
(Every Little Kiss, Book 1)
Wendy and Max are great you can see they are fully attracted to each other but Wendy who has closed herself off to feelings and caring for anyone and Max as well as her family and friends make her start re thinking things. There are laughs, sadness, frustration and a beautiful legend that makes you want to go visit Blue Moon Bay.
(The Perfect Kiss, Book 2)
Olivia’s patients and feelings are put to the test in this book as she is torn about swearing off men, running a women’s only retreat that could launch her event planning career, dealing with her parents and trying to resist the hot fireman Brody who is staying next door. Oh the laughs you have along with some cringe worthy moments as well as the satisfaction of seeing Olivia grow as a event planner and a person while sparks fly with Brody!
(Just One Kiss, Book 3)
Oh I just loved Charlie and totally get herb wanting to stay under the radar but thats not going to be easy especially with her new house guests, her ex husband and her terrible attempts of a disguise to go unnoticed in public lol There is excitement with Charlie looking like she is going to finally have her dream of acting but she has to deal with others dislike of her, the attraction to Luke and learning she can trust guys as well as have a future doing what she has always wanted to do.

This is a set, the first three books in this series, and it’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from this author – cute, clean and flirty stories about people who have amazing chemistry together, working toward their happy endings. The stories flow nicely, and they’re easy to read.
Every Little Kiss – Wendy’s grandmother’s will says that she has to come home for 30 days before the inn can be sold. Max is a guest at the inn, and he’s fallen in love with Blue Moon Bay, and especially the legend. She has abandonment issues stemming from childhood memories, but he’s there supporting her.
The Perfect Kiss – Olivia is smart, strong, and working toward her goal. She plans a women’s retreat – no men allowed. And who’s next door? A men’s retreat group full of hot firefighters, including Brody. He’s gorgeous and charming, and the sparks fly between them from the moment they meet.
Just One Kiss – Charlie give up her dreams for her husband. After that marriage goes by the wayside, she has a second opportunity for her career. And also for love. But she has to choose – her dream job, or the new guy in her life?

This book bundle includes three contemporary romance novels. The legend of forever love comes true in Blue Moon Bay. The boxed set includes: Every Little Kiss – Book 1, The Perfect Kiss – Book 2, and Just One Kiss – Book 3. Below is a review of one of the books to give you an idea of what you’ll find.
*** Reviewing “JUST ONE KISS – BOOK 3” ***
Charlie Rockwell gave up her own dreams for her rock star ex. Catching him cheating, Charlie’s divorce left her with a broken heart, no money, and a mansion she can’t afford in her hometown of Blue Moon Bay where she has isolated herself. But when the producers of the soap opera, “Just One Love”, make an offer to rent Charlie’s mansion for a month, it gives her an honest way to get the money she needs. Charlie has always had a crush on the actor, Luke Montgomery. But she has had enough of stars, so she tries to stay out of Luke’s path!
When she is asked to be a stand-in during a scene with Luke, their sizzling chemistry together is obvious enough to the producers for them to offer Charlie a job. Can Charlie finally have an opportunity for the career she had once wanted as an actress? Will she give Luke a chance to show that he is the wonderful, trustworthy man he seems and not another jerk like her ex? Is there a HEA for both of them?
This was a very emotional story with likable and realistic characters. The story line was engaging and the reader could feel for Charlie and how she was struggling to get over the pain of her betrayal. This is a terrific box set that puts real feeling into the stories. Take this opportunity to read these books and I’m sure you’ll have another author to add to your favorites.
This is a enjoyable box set its books one thru three. I truly reading each book. I enjoyed all the characters. This box set is well written and has good storylines.

This wonderful box set gives you three fun romances. Each book offers a entertaining story, likable characters and lots of emotions. If you enjoy sweet reads with small town charm, humor, drama and romance this is a great choice. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is my voluntary, honest review.
Every Little Kiss
I didn’t have a clue what I was in for when I sat down to read this book. It sounded so simple and innocuous. And though it’s been a while, the last of this author’s books I read, I remember being almost more comedy than romantic. I was prepared for the laughs when we say Wendy’s clumsiness in action. I wasn’t at all prepared for the tears as she opened to heart to yet more pain. Max is adorable. He’s dealing with some ghosts of his own, but his seem to be quieter than Wendy’s. Together, they broke my heart before mending it right back up. I’m starting to fall for all the quirky inhabitants of Blue Moon Bay and can’t wait to read more about them.
The Perfect Kiss
This book and I had a bit of a love-hate relationship going on. I loved the messages of being strong enough to be independent; not needing another person to “complete you”. Where this all fell apart for me was that while Olivia was spouting all the self-help dogma she’d absorbed about how a strong, independent woman was supposed to behave she then caved to everyone else’s impossible demands. And I wasn’t completely impressed with Brody either. I liked how sweetly solicitous he is of Olivia, however I thought he was holding her to a double-standard. It felt like she had to tread lightly around his emotional triggers while he gave very little consideration to hers. I really liked the first book in this series so I’m going to continue, but this definitely wasn’t my favorite.
Just One Kiss
I enjoyed this. Charlie didn’t drive me as mental as Olivia did, but it was a near thing at times. I love the fact that Charlie takes the high road with her ex every time an opportunity comes up where she could hit him where it hurts. I thought that was very admirable. Maybe it’s because we don’t get the chance to live in Luke’s brain, but while I liked him, I don’t feel like I really got to know him. The major conflict at the end of the book made me want to yell and throw things. Here’s a novel idea: talk to one another! It makes me gnash my teeth in frustration when the drama in a story is created by characters avoiding having a simple adult conversation with one another. I realize it’s very realistic to everyday life, but it feels a little like taking the easy road to generate angst. I’m still interested in seeing what else is going to happen in this quirky little bay town.
