If you ask my family, I’m wasting my life. If you ask me, I’m living it to the fullest. Am I capable of doing more? Absolutely. However, slinging drinks at the resort makes me happy. At least for now. Not that my family would understand.
It’s just another night behind the bar, until it isn’t. She’s everything I never knew I wanted wrapped up in one breathtaking package.
I’m drawn from the start, willing to do what it takes for a little more time. The problem is the sand in the hourglass is running out. Her extended stay is coming to an end, and when it does, I’ll have to let her go.
Even if I don’t want to.
Adeline
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend since my best friend announced her destination wedding. Sure, I wanted to see my oldest friend marry the love of her life, but I also needed a break from life…from my father.
However, even states away, he still manages to control my fate. I wanted one weekend. Three days without the stresses and obligations that come along with having my last name.
For the first time in my life, I ignore my father’s demands and open my eyes to what I truly want. I’m seeing everything around me in a new light, and that includes the hot bartender at the resort.
Lacey Black is a ‘go to’ author for me, I got hooked with the Burgers & Brew Crüe and I’ve been addicted ever since!
I’ve really enjoyed the Kissing Games reads so far and Kissing A Stranger was no exception.
We knew from previous books that Adeline was interested in the bartender, Decker. While Audrey’s ‘wedding that wasn’t’ featured lightly in the story, for the most part Addi and Decker were on their own and their interactions took place mainly in Florida.
Both main characters had expectations placed heavily in their shoulders… the difference being one found the strength to walk away while the other was drowning in the forced responsibilities and pressure from family.
It was good seeing Addi relax, learn how to think about herself and what she wanted. Being away from home and work and taking time for herself was so foreign to her that it was as if she was living a different life. Decker was good for her in more than just making her feel seen and wanted. Even when knowing that their time was coming to an end he continued to encourage Addi to follow her gut and heart and do what she thought rather than what was expected.
Lacey writes horrible people well. Addi’s dad was truly dislikable and I just wanted her to tell him where to go… but it seemed she was always gonna think about others before herself!!
Was delighted with how this story ended. While you don’t have to read the series to enjoy the individual books it is seriously more fun knowing what’s going in with the others in the wedding party.

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
