Jack Coffey had sidestepped romance ever since he'd stopped believing in love. Then he tripped over a diaper-clad cupid and fell hard...for the little guy's pretty mom. Now Jack had a broken leg and a heart that was in danger!
All he had to do was say "No!" to Marissa Criswell's offers of help. Avoid the mouthwatering temptations she brought to his door...and the gentle stroking of her hand on his fevered brow. Marissa certainly knew how to soothe this savage beast. If only she didn't desire a daddy for her son...and a husband for herself....
Just One Kiss is such a sweet book. It starts on such a good note, Nathaniel our heroine's baby is doing baby talk with babies in day care..hee. He's being teased because he doesn't have a daddy and he says by the time I come back from vacations I will get one. Such an adorable kid and smart ;) Marissa is one of those sweet and optimist people but not in a way that is irritating and if opposites attract Marissa and Jack are it. Even though Marissa didn't have a great dad, her boyfriend walked out when she got pregnant and more, she loves life and believes that she will know her Mr. Right immediately. Funny because when Jack and Marissa meet, Nate trips Jack causing a fracture to Jack, who is not a happy camper and it is not mutual like society at once, Marissa doesn't like Jack especially as he keeps referring to Nate as a "monster" (it's all in good humor). Jack was one of those gruff men on the outside but a teddy-bear on the inside and some personal losses had made him cynical, so when a guilt-ridden Marissa offers to help him(basic stuff food, writing reports for his PI business etc), he grudgingly accepts. I love it when Jack is grumpy instead of getting miffed Marissa has come-backs and Nate is so sweet and wants a dad so bad that even shows off with his vocabulary. This is such a perfect and sweet read. Thanks Mia for telling me about it :)
This book was really nice. I found it adorable. I know two-year-olds can be smart but are they as smart as Nate? I've always wondered to myself if babies understand each other and after reading this book my curiosity have increased once again.
