⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! When We Kiss (stand-alone). The new cop in town is intrigued by the girl who is determined not to get caught!
“Chad Tucker is some kind of sex god with a magic snake in his pants. Andy the Anaconda.”
When We Kiss (stand-alone) opens up to new sheriff and former navy officer Chad Tucker meeting, in a nearly naked state, the town’s wild child, website designer Tabby Green. The story pretty much goes downhill from there much thanks to Tabby’s hate for stuffy law enfo ...more
This is a small town romance that sizzles and will tickle your funny bone!
Charming characters, a great setting, and a romance that is as sweet as can be! That’s what you get from the latest by Tia Louise. I laughed out loud one minute and was reduced to thigh clenching the next.
This super fun and witty small town romance works on every level. The comedy is spot on. The characters are vibrant and emotive. The main characters, Tabitha and Chad are polar opposites, but they can’t deny their off t ...more

I was so thrilled when I heard that Tia Louise was writing When We Kiss. Have you already read When We Touch, Emberly and Jackson’s story? Well, now, it’s Emberly’s best friend and co-worker, Tabby Green’s turn, and the hot cop she just couldn’t seem to stay away from.
Tabitha Green was raised by her Uncle, the town preacher. But Tabby was not cut out for her Uncle’s strict ways. She rebelled against him and thought of herself as a bad girl, a Jezebel! That’s how she got her first glimpse of the ...more

This book had me handcuffed to my Kindle--I read it in one sitting because it was that good. It had everything I love in a book ... deliciously sweet romance, steamy hot sex, angst, lots and lots of humor, and the deep emotion that left me sighing. Tabby and Chad were absolutely adorable--Tabby and her bad sassy self and Chad with his sexiness, not to mention his spicy side. The chemistry between these two kept me flipping the pages until there were no more pages to flip. But I'm ...more

I wish I could give this book more starts...five stars is not enough!!! This is a beautiful story, it’s fast paced, funny, witty, romantic, emotional, it’s everything a good page turner book should be. The characters are brilliant and well developed, the plot is captivating and interesting. Chad is just...YUM, forget all your previous book boyfriend, Chad is in a league of his own. Tabby is a fantastic character, she is what we all want to be deep down. She’s strong, independent, funny, and does

~ Another gem of a sexy-hot read from Oceanside ~
Tabby Green’s first meeting of Chad Tucker, the town’s newest member AND deputy sheriff is not one of her most stellar moments. It was, however, one of the best introductions Chad could have gotten, and one he can’t seem to get out of his mind. But clearly, this town’s Miss Drool-Worthy Bad Girl is hard to pin down and seems to be avoiding him.
Speaking of avoidance, Chad knows a lot about this, which is why he is in this small town to begin with ...more

Tia Louise, who gets better and better with every book, has created a story that spoke to every inch of my heart and every corner of my soul. Layering her savvy, sexy writing voice on top of a small-town premise seems like a sure-fire win of a combination--and it IS--but this book is more than just a winning romance. The nuances of the storytelling, relayed from both Tabby and Chad's POVs (and OMG, I never thought I'd fall in love with a hero named Chad, but this hunk had me at whiskey eyes), as

Safe. No slut-shaming!!!!! No OW drama, maybe a bit and very short, but his ex was a decent woman, who already moved on and supported H's new love. They did NOT trash his ex - incredible, like an unicorn among countless books with evil exes, who beared the guilt of H's shitty actions -> BS!!!

When We Kiss made me feel so good. I was entertained and deeply engrossed in Tabby and Deputy Chad Tucker’s story. All thanks to Tia Louise and her flawless and captivating storytelling.
The first chapter sets the tone. Bam! I was hooked. Tabby and Chad’s connection and chemistry popped or should I say sparks flew everywhere. I felt it down to my toes. These two characters are so much fun and complements each other perfectly.

I loved Jackson, but that was before I met Chad.
A sexy cop and the town "bad girl".
Tabby's always tried to buck the system, to an extent. She's not all the small minds in town try to make her out to be. One thing she is though is afraid to get close to someone.
Chad is the new cop in town. He seems like a squeaky clean Captain America kind of guy but there's so much more to him than meets the eye.

When We Kiss was super, super sweet! It was a small-town romance about a delusional girl and a hot AF deputy. Tabby was the local 'bad girl' who wasn't all that bad. If she's what's being called 'bad' nowadays, I'm downright wicked. Chad was the 'good guy' with a seriously naughty filling. He wasn't as 'good' as he looked. He was a man of the law, but that didn't mean he didn't have an edge to him. And Tabby was more than attracted to everything he had t ...more

Chad can handcuff me any day! I’d gladly take a ride on Andy! 😂😂. I love love this book! Seriously I enjoyed reading it so much! Tabby is so much fun! I seriously want to be friends with her! But then it’d be awkward bc I’d want Chad too and I’m afraid I’d have to hurt her because he would be mine lol. That Jezebel! 😂😂😂.

This was my first Tia Louise book and I absolutely adored it! Her writing is fantastic and this small-town romance was right up my alley. If you're a fan of enemies-to-lovers romances, of tension and humor, of small-town romances, then this one is for you! Hot cop + town "bad girl" = yasssss, honey, yassss.

It was an okay read. Nothing special. Tabby worked hard to overcome her parentage. She had a goal of seeing the world and then of course she met a man. Chad joined the Navy and got to do his traveling before he met Tabby. He didn't ask her to stay in Oceanside with him, but after she fell in love with him, what choice did she have? She was knocked up within a few months, all be it happily. There was just something in me rooting for her to go on with her plan and travel. Why does her plans ...more

3.5 rounded up.
This is well-written book. A very well-written book. I loved Tabby and Chad, their romance was sweet, hot and adorable.
BUT...
Do romances really have to take the sacrifice-your-dreams-for-man-and-baby turn? Still? In 2019? I'm so over that. After everything Tabby went through to be independent and strong, it just left a sour taste in my mouth. Along with the portrayal of that single, older woman who traveled and was independent as this aging sexual deviant, I was so disappointed. ...more

Known as the bad girl in their little town, Tabby does nothing to dissuade the moral upright citizens of their belief. When she is caught breaking into the motel’s pool area she’s prepared to play it to the hilt until she lays eyes on the new sheriff’s deputy. A year later and on the path that leads to financial success and plans to travel the world, she absolutely refuses to let Chad Tucker, aka hot deputy, derail her agenda.

Tia Louise has captured ALL my favorite romance elements, packaged them up, and titled it When We Kiss. I’m crazy about this swoony small-town romance! This author knows how to reach in and hit the feels button. Once I started, there was no stopping. I devoured each scene like the most delicious meal, until every bite was enjoyed. I’m left soaring on a euphoric high, totally satisfied.

Chad is book boyfriend perfection and Tabitha (Tabby) is my kind of heroine - smart, funny & full of sass. I loved that we got both POVs & that the characters were honest & less than perfect.

This was HOT HOT HOT!
The only issue I had with this was at times, I felt like the sexy times were overshadowing the budding relationship. But I’ve been a fan of Tia’s for a while and I’m still a fan now. I can’t wait to read more from her.
Thank you to Tia and Happily Ever Insta for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I can't believe this is my first (solo) written book by Tia Louise and it was fan freaking tastic! The push and pull, the humor, the banter, the steamy hotness!!!
Tabby is a free spirit, independent, a wild child. It can't be easy being the niece of the town's preacher. People judge, they make comments, they give her looks and I absolutely love the way she deals with them. She's a bad ass through and through. Strong, loyal, beautiful and feisty. She's also an incredibly talented web designer.
