The Cover Story~
After acting on a dare and kissing the hottest guy at Granbury High, Molly Parker was left with a broken heart and a legacy she couldn’t live down; Dustin McKinley left town the very next day, taking her hopes and dreams along with him. A decade later…they meet again.
Molly assures herself she won’t fall for Dustin’s charms this time, yet with his good looks and dimpled smile, guarding her heart proves to be more of a challenge than she ever expected.
When Dustin inherits his grandmother’s farmhouse he returns to Granbury intending to sell the property. However, he must first evict the tenant occupying the garage apartment—the woman he walked away from years ago and has never been able to forget.
Dustin assures himself he’s doing what must be done, but when he reunites with Molly his attraction to her rekindles, jeopardizing his carefully constructed plans.
My takeaway~
Just One Kiss was all it took for Dustin McKinley to bolt for New York, leaving Molly Parker embarrassed about accepting the dare that sent him running. When another man swindles her savings, she's over men and dating, content to grow flowers over relationships. That is until Dustin returns, and both are confronted with feelings that never faded. A few hurdles stand in their way, though, an eviction notice, the demands of Dustin's job, and Carter Hutchins, the guy who plans to seduce Molly.
With a twenty-something hero and heroine who both value purity,
Just One Kiss is sweet and soft, the kind of book that leaves you with an "ahhh" at the last page.
"I want to be loyal to my future marriage. I believe my body is a gift I should save for my husband." ~Molly Parker
I especially enjoyed the parallel woven into the story involving Lakota, a homeless Labrador Retriever who the whole town cares for, with Dustin.
"She just has to believe she's found the right place to be." ~ Molly Parker on Lakota, the town's stray dog
If you're looking for a pleasant read to curl up with for a few hours on a rainy Saturday, you can't go wrong with
Just One Kiss.
