I loved this sexy second chance romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. They were childhood best friends and he loved her, but was an ugly need and she chose a jock. He was sent away and changed a lot. They had several other encounters and the ending was great.

Stan was an awkward pimple faced teen in love with his friend Trix. But Trix dated the popular jock for years and even moved abroad to live with him. After discovering her boyfriend cheating behavior, she breaks up with him and, in a drunk night with her girlfriends, have her first one night stand with a handsome guy which results in her becoming preganant of her son. Years later, she comes back to her country with her son and reconnects with her old friend from school and they discover that he is in fact the guy from the one night stand and father of her son. The characters are well developed and we cheer for their HEA. But the plot has many flaws and coincidences that ressonates poorly on the benefit of the story. Also, there are many unnecessary chapters that only exist to show how good a professional Stan is, but a few lines should be enough for that reason. Some characters disappears and then reappears out of the blue in the story. Maybe a better plot planning, chapter by chapter was due to clean up and improve the readers experience.
this is the second book in a collection about a single mom and the man who is man enough for her and her family. I really enjoyed this story!

This book started out a little slow for me, but by the middle, I didn’t want to put it down. Trix and Stan had been friends since childhood. They learned many things over the years while they were growing up and their lives taught lessons to others around them. From their first kiss and getting punched out after it, to the kissing booth at their homecoming, not caring who saw them. This story shows that some of the best things in life are worth waiting for. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
He used to be the nerd at school, she was the popular girl, yet still they were childhood friends. Life drew them apart, but a chance meeting brought them back together, although she didn’t recognise him. They spent a night of passion and then they were drawn apart again. Seven years later they meet again. Secrets are revealed from both of them and their happily ever after is near, as long as they overcome the obstacles.
I loved the storyline and the characters. The plot was well-thought and escalated beautifully. I had trouble with some words used, but all in all it was an enjoyable read.

This is my first book by Ysa Arcangel and I loved the story. It is so different and the characters so very well developed. I Loved Trix and her “bad” memory. She has this spark that makes her so unique. Stan is this sweet and loving kind of guy that just draws you in. The story itself is well written and has a beautiful flow to it. There is some drama and suspense that just creates a well rounded story. It is definitely worth reading.

Trix and Stan story was fun to escape in to. I enjoyed the characters. The storyline grabbed my attention. I devoured in one sitting.
I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
Love at First Kiss is a decent story with room for improvement. I don’t usually read in third person writing, so it was a little hard for me to get into the story as it tends to be repetitive (kinda tired of seeing Trix’s name on the page, tbh). Also, I am not into some of her word choices.
