Just a Kiss

De: Denise Hunter

Narrado por: Windy Lanzl

Riley Callahan has plans to finally reveal his secret feelings for his best friend (who just happens to be his brother’s ex). But tragedy strikes and derails his plans.

Watching the love of his life fall for his brother was enough to send Riley straight to boot camp. But over a year later, he’s officially a marine, and Beau and Paige are no longer an item. When Riley’s tour in Afghanistan is up, he intends to confess his feelings to Paige and win his best friend’s heart once and for all.

But all that changes when an IED takes the life of a comrade and leaves Riley an amputee. Now he’s heading home, injured and troubled. His plans to win Paige are a distant dream. She deserves so much more than the man that’s left. All he can do now is put some healthy distance between them. But upon his return he discovers his family has arranged for him to stay with Paige.

Paige is a nurturer at heart and happy to take care of her best buddy. By all appearances Riley is adjusting miraculously well to his disability. But as the days pass, Paige begins to see that the smiles and laughter are just a mask for the pain he’s hiding. To make matters worse, her job is in serious jeopardy. The animal shelter that she’s poured her heart into has lost its funding, and she has three months to come up with the money needed to save it.

As the weeks wear on, Paige’s feelings for Riley begin to shift into uncharted territory. Why is she suddenly noticing his arm muscles and the way his lips curl at the corners? Will she be able to deny her feelings for another Callahan brother? And will Riley let his heart heal so he can let Paige in?

enjoyable

i loved this series. it was more a slow paced book but that ok. the only reason i didnt give 5 starts was because i was very disappointed in the change of the narrator. she didnt seems to have the energy the other one did in first 2 books. but because i enjoyed books one and two so well i finished up number 3 too. thanks

Frustratingly Delightful!

I have loved all of this authors books. The narrator on this particular one was not as demonstrative as her previous narrator. Somewhat monotone. As far as the plot - started off interesting enough, but I got frustrated with the main male character, and felt the book was much longer than it needed to be. That said, I’ve listened through and DID come to a better understanding of what Riley had gone through. I’m glad I pushed through.
It was worth it-just like her others in this series better.

The story of Riley and Paige

This story takes place in Maine and yet our reader has a beautiful southern accent.

Very nice

The book had a good story line. The reader's voice was kind of flat but I liked the accents she used.

Just Okay…

I love this author and the story line was pretty good but very predictable. It was slow going and honestly, kind of hard to get through. Sweet but dragged a bit and the narrator…while she sounds like the nicest lady in the world and clearly she tried, was just WAY too FLAT. No energy whatsoever. I’m tired all the time and don’t need someone reading me a book to put me to sleep lol, which is the main reason for my score.
