Hunter realizes he is in love with his little sister's best friend, Bailey, right before he leaves for college. He always shared a close relationship with her growing up, but until she brought her feelings to his attention, he never really understood his were more than what he thought. Instead of admitting he had feelings for her though, he goes to college where he remains celibate for 4 years.
Upon returning home, he sees that his feelings for Bailey never changed. It's evident that her's haven't either, but she isn't ready to jump into anything with him right away. He makes a vow to woo the hell out of her, and that he does!
Stolen Kisses is a fast paced, sweet, and sexy romance you can read in one sitting. I've been a fan of Elena's writing for a while, and her books are always able to hold my attention from start to finish. This one was no different.
Hunter is a slightly OTT alpha that is determined to get what he wants, and Bailey is a sassy heroine that doesn't let Hunter boss her around. I hate when men tell women not to curse which Hunter repeatedly does to Bailey in the story. However, Bailey keeps doing Bailey, and I loved that. There's not a lot of conflict in this one apart from jealousy, so if you don't like a lot of push and pull, this would be a good one for you.
Fans of over the top alphas, steamy friends to lovers/little sister's best friend romances, and super low angst reads, this one's for you!

This book is so swoony. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it at 3 am! Who needs sleep?
Hunter is just a total darling; he had me in love with him by the middle of the first chapter. I would love to have a protector/boyfriend like him.
Bailey is a part of Hunter's family and his sister, Emily's, best friend; she has loved him since she was ten years old. She doesn't understand these feelings, obviously, and wires get crossed over the years making this compelling reading.
I got all the feels and felt the emotional struggles that Hunter and Bailey go through to finally get their chance at love. The pair have been in love from a young age but feelings were hurt and hearts broken. I love how the story carries you through their lives and sweeps you off of your feet.
I haven't read a book by Elena M Reyes before but I will be searching for more.

My first read from the author and liked it. Stolen Kisses is a light sister best friend romance. Is an easy, fun, swoony and sexy read. Told mostly from the guy POV, Stolen Kisses is a story coming to a full circle from a childhood crush to one true love.
April 23, 2018
Such a sweet friends to lovers story! Hunter is so amazingly sweet and so in love. Bailey has been in love with Hunter since she was a little girl. He broke her heart when he moved away for college. Its been years since she has seen or even spoken to him...but she is still in love with him.

Hunter...Hunter...Hunter...
Oh my...how I need Hunter in my life. This was my first book of Elena M. Reyes and WOW am I hooked. I loved how we got to see Hunter and Bailey’s relationship evolve from friends to more than friends.
Your sisters best friend is supposed to be off limits but when you can’t seem to stay away what does one do? That is Hunter’s dilemma..he is attracted to his younger sisters best friend and doesn’t know how to handle it. After he graduates high school he disappears to college and all but ignores Bailey and their friendship.
Fast forward 4 years....
Everyone has grown up....
Some in more ways than someone ever remembered....
The attraction is still there....
The pull is still there....
It now becomes getting Bailey on the same page as Hunter....that is where the fun begins....
Stolen Kisses is totally swoon worthy and has lots of sexual tension within. I couldn’t put the book down once I started and needed to find out if Hunter was able to win the girl back or not. It was definitely interesting reading the back and forth banter between the two - a smile was in my face the entire time reading.
Like I said before I really, really, really need a Hunter in my life. I seriously couldn’t get enough of Stolen Kisses and recommend this book to anyone looking for a down to earth, romantic, angsty, sweet book. I can’t wait to read more from Elena M. Reyes!

Light hearted and mostly drama free, Stolen Kisses was a cute friends to lovers/best friend’s older brother romance. Hunter and Bailey have always had a connection, but with her being a few years younger than him, its impossible to act on. Once he’s home, Hunter is determined to make Bailey his.
Overall, Stolen Kisses was a cute, fast read. Hunter and Bailey sizzle throughout and are easy to root for. Hunter felt a bit over the top at times, but it didn’t distract me much from the story. Bailey was a strong heroine. When Hunter could be a bit overbearing, Bailey held her own and I loved that about her. I would recommend Stolen Kisses to the reader looking for a fast paced, best friend’s older brother novel.

4.5 stars.
Stolen kisses is a story about love that was realized at the wrong time. Hunter realizes that his feelings for his younger sister's BFF isn't as innocent as he thought which leads him to do what he thinks is best...
Bailey is a sweet and innocent young lady who is caught between young love and reality and her feelings keep her from moving on.
This story is very sweet, with enough heat to keep the story moving and engaging. You will root for the characters as they have to realize their truths and see if they can move on beyond the hurt from years earlier.

I just loved this book it is such a sweet romance and I just loved the fact that for once the guy is not going around bedding everything in sight Hunter knows he loves Bailey so keeps it in his pants for four years. This was a super read I quickly found myself hooked and just did not want to stop reading. I loved this book.
April 20, 2018
Stolen Kisses was a definite yes from me. A horny and long time celibate Hunter gives Bailey a chase that’s filled with sassy responses and sexiness you can’t help but adore. Hunter, he most definitely is!

Falling hard...
Fast paced love story about the girl next door. This story takes place in Florida with alternating points of view. Spunky high school graduate and her best friend's older hunky brother who is home early from college. It's not all roses though, there's his ex, her current not boyfriend, and the fact that he hasn't been home in almost 3 years, and has distanced himself. Now the story is the struggle to get passed these things. And now a bit about the story...
Hunter has just returned home with hopes of wooing his girl back to him. They had always been good friends and it wasn't until he left for college that he realized he loved her. But she was too young then and it scared him. Now after over 3 years his little B has grown up.
Bailey loves the Miles family, she spends almost as much time at their house as her own. Now if only Emily's boyfriend's brother would get the hint she isn't interested. She wants to be Emily's sister, but not that way.
Read and see how he hunts down his love and claims her heart, when it all started with just a kiss.
Favorite passage: “Just keep in mind that perfection is a notion that’s unrealistic.”
Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

What’s not to love about this story. The author has written a wonder storyline that is both romantic, fun and very realistic. And the characters, just perfect for their roles.
We all remember that first love. The one we had a teen that often was on the older friend, neighbor, kid at school, etc. The fact being older, which in turn usually means the crush is one-sided and the younger party is left heartbroken when the crush goes leaves their circle. But what if that isn’t the case, what if what if what if… that is what our Heroine, Bailey is hoping for, especially after they share a stolen kiss before Hunter leave for college. Sadly what if’s and crushes are just that and the what if’s, crushed hearts and the world are forced to move on.
But what happens if the world moves on but the heart doesn’t? When Hunter returns from college and sees Bailey all grown up. Sorry I don’t do spoilers. But I will highly recommend you read Stolen Kisses and find out. I got so engrossed in this wonderfully written story that I read it in one sitting and found myself smiling throughout. Grab this one up, you won’t be sorry you did.

For a second chance romance story it’s really cute, adorable and sweet. Hunter is back home and sees the one girl that has been on his mind for four years, Bailey. I don’t wanna say to much cause I don’t wanna spoil the book. But if you love short story sexy romance definitely give this one a click. Hunter will make ya swoon! 5/5 stars
April 22, 2018
I love B and Hunters beautiful forbidden 2nd chance book.Sweet loving emotional amazing.Need more of these two.
April 16, 2018
Most importantly Amazon hates my guts and won’t let me leave a review so here I am. Without dishing out any spoilers Hunter is hard up and Bailey is the only thing on his radar. There’s some cat and mouse but Hunter is HARD UP and he wants Bailey, desperately. I did not want to destroy anything, nor did I feel the need to issue death threats to any of the characters bur I was close a time or two. I loved the ending and I’m all about an epilogue.

I got the point of their attraction but it was still too rushed, too macho man and possessive for my liking.
April 27, 2018
This book had my heart in its clutches. I pretty much knew how it would play out but the journey was so enjoyable. I absolutely loved their story. The realization he had to come to on how he has been feeling all these years. The path he had to take to earn her trust again and for her to believe him.
She was ready to move on pretty much and now he comes charging back into her life after pretty much staying away for 4 years. Getting over him pushing her away and denying a start to what could have been is something that isn't going to come easy. He is determined to prove to her his love. To make her his. Now that he finally admits why he has made the choices he has the past 4 years, he is set on getting her.
I have read a couple of books by Elena and she knows how to deliver. I was hooked and devoured the pages. He was sweet but filthy at the same time and he made it hard to deny him anything. I loved Bailey, she is feisty and isn't about to let him walk all over her but hey sometimes there are times you can't deny him things. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to see what Elena has in store for us next.

Hunter and Bailey's romance is the best friends older brother romance. It is a drama free easy read that you can read in one sitting. The heat is there and the characters are good. For my first Elena book, I enjoyed it. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for my honest review.
May 13, 2018
Favorite quote(s): “Tonight, when you walked in and our eyes met, that reality ceased to exist,. That tiny beauty I knew morphed into a beautiful woman that I plan to get to know. Romance, and then someday soon….own. Because I will. Of that I have no doubt.”
Thoughts: 'For her, I’d wear the “owned” badge with pride.' One of the immediate things that differentiates this book from a lot of the others in a similar genre is that it is largely told from the male perspective – every now and again, we do get a bit of insight into Bailey and her thoughts, but largely we get a lot of Hunter’s POV. For the most part, I enjoyed the characters and the story. I’ve always enjoyed a taste of the forbidden with troupes like this and it was done well. With that being said, my largest issue was Hunter’s character. I really liked the guy, but it almost felt like the author wasn’t clear on how she wanted to write him. At times, he had the persona of a biker that you would expect to see in an MC book – not just that rides a motorcycle, but the legit attitude and thought process of a biker gang member. Then there was the weird controlling issue he had with Bailey and not liking her to cuss – when he merrily goes along spouting whatever he wants. Really? And it came across as condescending on his part – for example, ‘There was a place and time for her to curse – whenever she was riding my cock being it’. He’s pointed out as a ‘bad guy’, but no actions or past events are pulled into the story to emphasize this. Yet the other aspects of his character just didn’t mesh with these ideals. There was a sweet, loving guy in there who really worshiped Bailey. In the end, I was just a bit conflicted about who he really was as a character. Despite this, I really enjoyed the book.

I have been so excited about the release of this book, so when I found it on my kindle I had to jump on it right away. This book was a quick read and it did keep me interested most the way through.
I feel like the blurb read differently to what the story was actually about. Yes it had the main points but it states Hunter was a ‘dangerous man’, but I didn’t get that from him, not in the way I thought it was implied. Hunters character was mainly really great, I felt like he might be a tad controlling in the aspect of Bailey not even being able to swear, and he thought it ‘was cute’ that she thought she had a right to curse if she wanted to. She does, she is her own woman! Also, I didn’t think it was cute that he drugged her up to take her away for the weekend, but that’s just me. Bailey’s character acted younger than her 18 years in some scenes but other than that I thought she was a great character.
Other than the stuff mentioned above, I enjoyed most of the story line of this book. Guy falls for his sisters best friend, forbidden love at it’s finest. Bailey and Hunter have great chemistry together, you could feel their temptation. There were a few really sweet, cute scenes between them both. The book was a quick, easy read that did hold my interest from start to finish. I really like Elena as an author, I can’t wait to see what she brings us next. I received an early copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

Yes it had the main points but it states Hunter was a ‘dangerous man’, but I didn’t get that from him, not in the way I thought it was implied. Hunters character was mainly really great, I felt like he might be a tad controlling in the aspect of Bailey not even being able to swear, and he thought it ‘was cute’ that she thought she had a right to curse if she wanted to. She does, she is her own woman! Also, I didn’t think it was cute that he drugged her up to take her away for the weekend, but that’s just me. Bailey’s character acted younger than her 18 years in some scenes but other than that I thought she was a great character.
Other than the stuff mentioned above, I enjoyed most of the story line of this book. Guy falls for his sisters best friend, forbidden love at it’s finest. Bailey and Hunter have great chemistry together, you could feel their temptation. There were a few really sweet, cute scenes between them both. The book was a quick, easy read that did hold my interest from start to finish. I really like Elena as an author, I can’t wait to see what she brings us next. I received an early copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVEDDDD this book. This is not the first book I have read by Elena M. Reyes and it will definitely NOT be the last. She has a unique way of writing some of the hottest and sexiest love stories I have ever read, that also tug hard on your heartstrings. Below is a synopsis of the book (from my point of view) and I will try not to include any spoilers.
Stolen Kisses is the story of Hunter Miles and Bailey Jones. Bailey is the best friend of Hunter's younger sister, and after years away at college, he is moving home and ready to claim Bailey as his. I loved Bailey because while she was sweet, she was also feisty and made sure to let Hunter know he had his work cut out for him if he wanted to win her over. While Hunter was possessive, he was also very attentive and sweet and did whatever he could to ensure Bailey not only trusted in him again, but that she admitted her love for him. While they start slightly off key, Hunter does whatever he can to prove to Bailey that he will take care of her heart, and will not let her down again. In this story you will find love, sexy scenes, family, friendships and a little drama. I loved all of the secondary characters, and appreciated how Elena incorporated them enough into the story that we fell in love with them, but did not allow them to take over the book.
Although this was a shorter read, I honestly did not notice. I highly recommend you read this book! You will not be disappointed.

Stolen Kisses by Elena Reyes
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
ANNND I want to have this mans babies!!! LOL Did that get your attention? Does it make you want to know why? Did you make you one click this book? Well it should because you will agree with me after reading!!
Bailey and Hunter have grown up together. Bailey is his sister’s bestie. Hunter being 4 years older than Bailey didn’t think twice when it came time to escape to college but leaving Bailey behind caused her little 14-year-old heart to be a bit bruised.
Hunter has some feelings for Bailey but it was time for him to get and her to grow. They two have some intense feelings for one another but 4 years comes, and Hunter is back. He hasn’t been able to forget that one stolen kiss 4 years ago. When he returns he is all about getting the girl.
I loved the story and how they chemistry between the two builds and builds between the two. They have a love that couldn’t be fizzled after being apart for 4 years. Now if people would just get outta the dang way!!!

OMG!!! I freaking loved this story. I knew Stolen Kisses by Elena M. Reyes would be good, but I didn’t know how good. I’ve only read her duo author books, but this one blew me away. It wa sooo romantic, so different to what I was expecting. The characters were well written, the love and chemistry between them easy to see and feel. Hunter Miles and Bailey Jones were simply HOT, HOT. HAWT!!!
Bailey’s been in love with her best friend’s brother, Hunter for what seems like forever, and even though he’s older, he is her friend too. But, Hunter is four years older than Bailey and when she was just fourteen he started having ‘feelings’ for her, so he pretty much cut her out of his life. He left for college and never really saw her again, until he graduated.
Once he’s back home for good and sees Bailey again, he knows his feelings haven’t changed. He wants her, and he’s gonna get her.
Bailey’s not really on board with his idea at first. He hurt badly when he went away to college and forgot about her. She’s not going to make it easy for him to just walk back into her life and take over.
This is a dual POV story so we get to see how each of them are feeling in this romantic, sweet and HOT story. I was sorry when I reached the end. I just wanted to keep reading… forever.

What a brilliantly written story that will reach into your memories, into your heart and make you smile tenderly as you remember your own first love. Did you have a first crush on an older person? Was it one sided? Did it break your heart when they left you behind when the went off to college? Well that is what happens to Bailey when Hunter leaves for college but not before stealing a kiss. The thing is with time and moving on, it has a way of catching up with you and smacking you right between the eyes, as it does when Hunter sees an all grown up Bailey when he returns from college!
Oh the things I could tell you about this story...but if I do that would mean that you would miss out on the story for the very first time, just like a very first love.
The characters are well written and so very likeable that you will find yourself becoming attached to them and wanting only the very best for them.
I adored this book and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Don't miss out on this gem.
