Christmas Kisses for a Dollar

by Laurie Paige

As soon as rancher Jon Sinclair put down his twenty dollars at a kissing booth, florist Anne Hyden knew she was in for it. Mr. Sex-in-Pants certainly wasn't the type to settle for a quick little peck. But Anne wasn't expecting to actually swoon in the guy's arms.Unfortunately, Anne had a problem. She had a heart condition that ensured her life was as dull and safe as it could get--and Jon was hardly "safe." In fact, he was just the sort of guy to make a girl's heart give out altogether. And she still owed him nineteen more kisses....

This was not a very good book. Every other page was about Anne and Jon's passion and the attraction they felt for each other. We got that there was an attraction between them the first couple times it was written. Then the author used the word imp way too much.

Review by Jen:
Christmas Kisses for a Dollar by Laurie Paige is a delightful Christmas tale. Jon has returned to his hometown to fix up the ranch and sell it. Anne is the local florist with a heart condition. Jon doesn’t want a relationship, but when he sees Anne at the kissing booth, he wants his money’s worth. And Anne doesn’t know what to do with this man who is turning her life upside down.

The book was quite entertaining and found it hard to put down once I started reading. I felt that Jon and Anne were likable characters, and delight in books where a character who has a “disability” overcomes their limitations.

Jon Sinclair goes after what he wants-and in this case even though he is not the marrying type it has to be Anne Hyden.
I loved reading this book, though it was very predictable-it is fun, fast and gets your heart racing.

This book has a cute ending but the story itself was confusing and a little unbelievable.
