3.5 stars
Killer Kisses is a collection of seven short stories with one thing in common, you guessed it, killer kisses.
A Kiss On the Cheek: Hurricane Jason
The shortest of all the stories, six pages on my Kindle, this is a story of a hurricane shelter, drunken shrimpers and two people with the same goal. This was my least favorite story, too short with an abrupt ending that caused me to go back twice to double check that I wasn’t missing any pages. I give it 2.5**'Stars.
Cat Nips: Catastrophe
Another quick story, eleven pages on my Kindle, this tells the story of two cat lovers and one cat hating landlord. Another one of my least favorites. There seemed to be unanswered questions in this one that left me a little unfulfilled. I give it 3***Stars.
Hot Lips: The Lake Placid Cure
Slightly longer than the first two, twenty-five pages on my Kindle, this is a story of one woman’s attempt at an escape from a marriage gone wrong, and how she cures not only herself but a damaged young girl and a hunky sheriff. This story touches on some sensitive issues such as mental illness and marital affairs. I give it 3.5***'Stars.
French Kiss: Pigmalion
Again a mid-length story, twenty-seven pages on my Kindle, the title of this story pretty much says it all. This is a cute twist on the old Pygmalion story with the twist of the professor being played by a woman, the student a man and with the addition of a truly hateful villain. I could have done without the story line involving the villain, but I did enjoy this story. I give it 3.5***'Stars
A Sizzling Smooch: Bonded for Life
This one has some meat on it, fifty-one pages on my Kindle; there was just enough going on to keep one interested. There are all the elements of a good tale here, a beautiful Latin woman, a hunky law enforcement officer, drug cartels, high school reunions, the high school bully and his cheerleader wife with just a tad of humor thrown in for good measure. This may have been my favorite story; I actually would have liked to have seen it beefed up with one after it for a full length book. I give it 4.5****'Stars.
Delectable and Delicious: An Inn Decent Proposal
Set in the same place and (I think) a little before the previous story, this is almost a novelette length, sixty eight pages on my Kindle. While along the same theme as the story before, this one didn’t appeal to me quite as much. It tells the story of a reformed gambler, an up and coming chef, a mobster, and what happens when they all want the same falling down Inn. There were one or two little plot issues that I had with this one that brought it down slightly in my opinion, I still enjoyed it but not as much as the one before. I did think it might have made more sense to put this one first in reading order. I give it 4****Stars
Release Your Inner Wild Woman: Kiss of the Silver Wolf
The longest of all the stories, 82 pages on my Kindle, I believe this one was actually previously released as a novelette of its own. The title pretty much tells you what this story is about, werewolves. Set in a small southern mountain community, there are your usual werewolves but we do get a slight twist in this story – The Others. I won’t give away what they are, but suffice to say, it is different. This story gives us, werewolves, The Others, special government agents and a few hot scenes to tie it all up in a bow. I enjoyed this story and give it 4****Stars.
