The Trouble with a Kiss

Heatherly Bell has a way of writing charming and endearing characters, and she succeeded big time in this book. Pheobe is a runaway bride, realizing at the last minute that she wants to marry for love, and the groom awaiting her down the aisle is definitely not the love of her life. Marco is - well, the typical player rebound guy, who isn't looking for commitment but who realizes that with Pheobe, all bets are off. I liked how he opened up with Pheobe - and eventually accepted that she was the one. I liked how Pheobe discovered how to be her own person with the help of Marco. I have not read the other book in the Sunset Kiss series, but I really enjoyed the idea of the legend, of finding your fated love after kissing at sunset. It's a sweet concept and I liked how it played out in this book.

Phoebe and Marco’s story is sweet and endearing. Marco, a firefighter, meets and rescues Phoebe as she runs away from her wedding. She had thought she could be the dutiful daughter and marry a man thirty years older, but Phoebe just couldn’t go through with it. She believes in love and romance, just like her late mother did, and she didn’t see love in her future with the fiancé she left at the altar. Marco is a true ladies man, not looking for commitment, content to be the rebound guy and not the “one” for any of the women he dates. But right from the moment Phoebe lands on him during her escape from her wedding, something is different. He feels ultra aware of everything about her….her scent, her beauty and her voice. He keeps telling himself that he is just doing a good deed, that she just needs a little help and then he is free to go about his business. Yet, when he has the chance to let her go to be on her way back home or to go anywhere else, he finds he can’t let her go. Phoebe knows that there is a connection, a soul-deep one, between her and her handsome rescuer. Her heart tells her he could be the “one” for her, but Marco seems unaffected, though in reality he is just very good at hiding his reactions and feelings. Learning of their first meeting as kids, one neither he or Phoebe remembers, leads to Marco thinking that there may be some truth to the Kiss at Sunset legend. Could they really be fated lovers? What happens next is for you to discover when you read this charming book.
