Throughout these pages, I had my heart broken and, thankfully, put back together. This story also addresses adoption, the effects it can have on the child, and the parent, and to add to the depth of those things, the eventual meeting, which doesn’t always go well. Oh, the story? Brilliant, the rivalry, the competition, the angst, putting up walls, pulling down walls, all of which made for a page turner. To experience New York through these pages was something I treasured. I’m a kiwi gal, small town, small country. I enjoyed that this story featured older women, both nearing forty.

It suffers from some slight head-hopping, something that would normally bother me, but I was more forgiving as this appears to have been ironed out judging by the authors more recent story I read. Kiss the girl is told in third person and from both heroine’s point-of-views. I’m a late comer to the Melissa Brayden fan pool, but after reading two books by this very talented author, I’m officially a fan. Is New York big enough for both Brooklyn and Jessica? Maybe it’s just time they experienced it together… But when the blonde head turner from the wine bistro turns out to be her number one competitor, her life gets infinitely more complex.

She’s the head of a multimillion-dollar advertising firm in New York City, and it didn’t happen by accident. Jessica Lennox is what you would call a high-powered executive.

The only bright spot is an impromptu date with a beautiful and mysterious brunette. To top it all off, her birth mother, whom she’s never met, has requested contact. A speeding ticket, a towed car, and a broken heel are all working against her laid-back vibe. Twenty-eight-year-old Brooklyn Campbell is having a bad day. Sleeping with the enemy has never been so complicated.
