Blurb

Let me make this clear right here, right now: I, Halley Dawson, do not care that Preston Wright is kissing other women.
Not a lick. Not at all. Nuh-uh-freakin’-uh.
I do care that he’s doing it six feet away from me behind a gaudy velvet curtain—making him my competition in this year’s kissing contest.
Why do I care, you ask? Because I’ve had an unfortunate crush on the insufferable idiot since I was sixteen years old, but I also know it’s never going to happen.
He’s the Creek Falls bachelor to die for, and I’m the Creek Falls racoon lady who puts peanut butter sandwiches out for them every night.
I’m not going to let him break my four-year-long reign—no matter how many times he breaks the rules and slides the curtain across to do the one thing he’s not allowed to:

Kiss me.

Review

4 stars!

Halley Dawson is the five-time champion of the annual Creek Falls Kissing Booth competition. As this years contest approaches, Halley finds out that she is going up against Preston Wright, the hottest guy in town and her best friend’s brother.

For the first time ever Halley faces real competition. It doesn’t help that Preston happens to be the star of her dreams. Now, she’ll have to listen to him kissing other women, wishing he was kissing her, all while collecting as many of her own kisses as she can.

Kiss Me Not is a sweet, fun, angst free read with hilarious characters that will warm your heart as they fall in love. Halley is one of a kind. Beautiful, quirky, sarcastic, and fun, it was so fun getting into her head. Preston is sweet, swoony, gorgeous, and not your usual player. Though they’ve known each other for years, they have never really had one-on-one time together. Things change when they end up running the kissing booth together.

The banter keeps things light but the more time Halley and Preston spend together alone the more the sexual tension grows. The attraction is clear as day but neither want to acknowledge it until a bet has them sharing a kiss.

It was a simple kiss, but at the same time, it was a perfect one. I’d never had one like it before, and I doubted I’d ever have another quite the same.

I loved that Preston wanted to take a chance. He seemed to go all in and he was so sweet to Halley while still being silly. Halley had a few insecurities that she had to work through and I thought her character was well developed. I loved her “pets” and couldn’t stop from giggling whenever they were brought up.

Halley and Preston shared some passionate kisses, and though it wasn’t too steamy, the progression of the romance was realistic. I didn’t miss the lack of sexy times and we do finally feel Halley and Preston bring the heat at the end.

I really enjoyed the secondary characters. Reagan and Ava are a hoot and I loved their friendship with Halley. They are sarcastic and silly, and I want more. I also liked seeing Lauren and Mason from The Accidental Girlfriend again. And then there were the raccoons. Hilarious!!

Overall, Kiss Me Not is a fun standalone in the new Kiss Me series and I am excited for more. Reagan’s story, Kiss Me Tonight is coming in September and I can’t wait to meet her mystery man!
