Favorite Quotes:

It’s ironic… I have a hedgehog on my chest, and you’re still the prickliest thing in this apartment.

Angelica got started on her Danish as if it was going to grow legs and jump off the table. I guess pregnancy made people crazy.

“You took out all the marshmallows!” “Did I?” “You damn well know you did!” She shook the box of Lucky Charms at me. “What kind of f*ing savage are you?”

Every item of clothing needed pockets. Pockets were so underrated. And, as a woman, my clothes did not have enough pockets. Dresses with pockets were so delightful… When I eventually rise to power, everyone will have pockets in all clothes. That was definitely a solid use of power. Ava, 2028. Make Pockets Great Again… I know. First world problems. But first world problems are still problems, and anyone who thinks pockets aren’t a necessity has never pulled twenty dollars out of their bra. Here, have some boob sweat for your troubles, said nobody ever.

“Oh, God, she’s terrorizing the village again.” There was only one person that could be about— her grandma. Had I summoned her? “And she’s with Bethel… Those two could get in trouble in a church. Honestly, I don’t know how they’re able to make it past the doors without sweating.”

Have you met our girlfriends? Ava’s best friends? The Three Musketeers? The three women who will take the place of their elders and terrorize this town when we’re all dead and gone and there’s nobody to control them?


My Review:

This was a rather angsty and highly contentious enemies-to-lover romance featuring highly amusing and irreverent humor, clever quips, snappy banter, childish passive-aggressive pranks, hedgehogs, Doritos, stolen socks and purloined insoles. I adore Emma Hart, even if her main character of Ava was a cranky and grumpy Gus, and I frequently wanted to administer a few smacks to the back of her head. However, the cleverness of Ms. Hart’s deft wit and agile wordplay more than made up for Ava’s annoying and bratty behavior. I will be eagerly awaiting her next missive.

One last first kiss. I’m so sad this series is over. I’ve loved all the kiss and tell stories.

Ava is in love with her brother’s best friend, Ethan. He has her crush on her too but they are both too stubborn to see what’s right in front of them.

She needs a roommate and Ethan needs a place to stay. The arrangement is only supposed to be temporary. The problem is Ethan left out a few of his personal details.

This is one hot fiery relationship between too strong-headed sassy characters. There is one other addition to live too and I promise he’s cute.

Kiss me again had a few twists I didn’t see coming. It has Emma Harts quick witty style and a whole lot of childish fun.

Ava and Ethan are perfect for each other. The 3 girls in this series also have a great relationship and we see a little more of the other couples too.

5, Laugh out loud, Stars!!

“The best kiss of my life would go down in history as being with him. This would be the benchmark for which all other kisses would be held against. That was it, then. I was already ruined for all other men. Wonderful.”

“I wanted to go over there and wrap my arms around her. I wanted to hold her against me and press her face into my chest. To reach down and cup her chin and lift her face to mine, to whisper against her lips that I was sorry. So fucking sorry for making it awkward, for making her feel this way, for even a second.”

I don’t know about you guys, but I have been dying to get my hands on Ava’s story. It had all of my favorite troupes packed into one hilarious story. And let me tell you, Evan and Ava do not disappoint.

Kiss Me Again follows the story of Evan and Ava. Ava was desperately in need of a roommate. She was so desperate that she said yes to allowing her arch nemesis to move in. There’s only one problem with living with the person who drives you up the wall….Ava has had the biggest crush on Evan for as long as she can remember. However, she’s never done anything about it because not only is he her brother’s best friend, but also because they fight all the time. How they thought living together would be a good idea, I’ll never know. With tension and sparks flying all over the place, Kiss Me Again is a match made in romantic comedy heaven that will give you all the feels and leave you begging for more.

Emma Hart has completely knocked it out of the park with Kiss Me Again. The characters are fun and entertaining. Their story captivates you from the very first page and leaves you hanging on every word. Evan and Ava are a hilarious match. From entertaining banter to their revenge antics, I just couldn’t get enough of these two. I mean, when they say they’re going to war, they do not mess around. But, all that fiery tension is sure to lead to some pretty intense passion. Ava and Evan kept me on my toes and left me breathless in anticipation. I couldn’t wait to see how their story would come together.

Kiss Me Again is everything I could want from an Emma Hart romantic comedy. You have crazy fun characters that are easy to relate too and leave you in stitches as you read their story. Kiss Me Again made me laugh. It made swoon. It made me fall head over heels in love. It had the perfect balance of steam, angst and humor and in the end, I just couldn’t get enough of these characters and their story.

Five LOL stars for Ava and Ethan 💕!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First, I must say that I really enjoyed reading this series and I'm so sad that it is over because Emma's writing style is amazing and her rom-com books are one of my favorites.

She always makes me laugh with her books, characters, and storyline, which is the reason why is she one of my top rom-com and must to read authors.

What I love the most if this book (except a lot of fun) is that this book has brother's best friend and best friend's sister tropes.

Ava and Ethan's relationship is slow burn because they hate each other, but that is not real hate.

Deep inside they have a crush on each other, but as you know best friend always comes first before friend's sister.

If you're looking for a rom-com book that will make you laugh so much and it also has a brother's best friend and best friend's sister trope, then this is the book you need to read next!

OMG..... Ava and Ethan were absolutely hilarious with their passive-aggressive antics and witty banter. In true Emma fashion, she gave us a rom-com that had me so enamoured with the characters and story that I couldn't put it down. Ava and Ethan had a love/hate relationship that in reality was all love but didn't want to ruin relationships between friends and family. If you love Emma's witty, quirky, loveable characters as much as I do then you definitely want to grab this book!

3 stars? The heroine and hero were super duper immature with all the pranking. I also was not a huge fan of the heroines stupid reason for why she got angry at the hero. She didn't like how he thought she was wifey material because she thought he didn't like her that way/won't fight for her which I guess it's true but it was a far stretch. I just didn't like the heroine lmaoo.

What saved this from being a two star read is her brother telling both of them from stopping being idiots.

2.5 ⭐️

“It’s ironic,” Ethan mused. “I have a hedgehog on my chest, and you’re still the prickliest thing in this apartment.”

**Synopsis:**
Ethan needs a place to stay, so his best friend suggests he move in with his sister Ava. Of course these two have known each other for years, so it should be no big deal. However, each secretly has a crush on the other and neither are willing to be honest about that.
In order to mask their attraction, they hide behind fake hate and decide a prank war is what’s needed to keep their walls up.
Things get a bit complicated once they are under the same roof and keeping their feelings hidden becomes difficult.

** The following are my thoughts about this book: **
* * the humor felt forced at times

* * Ava...ugh. I just didn’t like her. It seemed like she could dish out the pranks, but then got mad when she was pranked. And, she takes offense at being labeled as having OCD, yet god forbid the candles are moved from their particular spots. 🤦‍♀️

* * I really had no idea who either of the characters were. This was very shallow

* * As with the previous book I read in this series, the characters are very immature.

**Overview:**
- Trigger warning: None
- Setting: Creek Falls,
- Audio: narrated by Veronica Landon, Jonathan Ash (I was not a fan of the audio, but that’s often the case with me. I thought the female narrator really made Ava sound whiny and negative, so I stopped listening after Chapter 1. I picked the audio back up around Chapter 13 and finished the book with listening. However, I still didn’t like it)
- Do you need to read previous books in series?: No. there are recurring characters from other books but you don’t need to know their backstories to understand this book
- POV: Dual POV
- Tropes: brother’s best friend
- Who is the Hero? Ethan (age: 29). Mechanic
- H likable? Yes.
- Who is the Heroine? Ava (age: 27). Bartender
- h likable? No. my first impression of her in chapter 1 was that she was a bitch. That never changed throughout the whole book. It seemed that her initial reactions were always angry
- h virgin? No
- First time they kiss: 50%
- First time they sleep together: 93%
- First time they say I Love You 96%
- steamy? No. it was a slow burn to the bedroom and only a kiss before they got there
- OW/OM drama? No
- H/h cheat? No
- Time apart? No
- Did I skip pages? No. but it was hard not to skip. Because I didn’t like Ava, I didn’t really care about this couple
- Big secrets? No
- Did I cry? No
- Did I laugh? No
- Did I swoon? No
- Cliffhanger? No
- HEA? HEA
- Epilogue? One year later
- Recommend? No. I really despised the female character. Ethan deserved better

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.

I was keen on getting this book, because Ava and Ethan's story has been alluded to throughout the whole series so far. I sped through it in one sitting, and it was quite a fun book to read although a little too bitchy at times on Ava's side.

I liked Ethan, he seemed like a really fun character, and very loyal to his friends. I liked all the goings on between Ava and Ethan, they were quite fun and inventive and it made for a fairly light hearted read.

I also liked how we got a fair bit of the characters from the previous two books in this one as well. Its always nice to have old faves come back.

Oh, and Mr Prickle was cool!

All in all a nice and easy, and fun read. Would recommend.

Every time I enter one of Emma Hart’s RomComs, I know I’m in for one funny and head shaking adventure, and because Kiss Me Again is the last book in the Kiss Me series, Hart gives the story and its characters an epically hilarious and steamy send-off while also allowing readers to catch up the heroes and heroines of the previous two books.

When two people are as platonically intertwined to one another as Ava and Ethan are due to the closeness of their families as well as the fact that Ava’s brother is Ethan’s best friend, a romantic entanglement is not something that either of them should want, not only because it would hurt more than just them if they ever broke up or hurt one another but also because they’ll always be in each other’s life in some capacity, which would make for some uncomfortable gatherings.

The fact that these two have some misguided idea that they don’t like each other, even though Ava has had a giant crush on Ethan adds to the humor of the story line because it’s so not hate that they feel toward one another. All of their sassy exchanges and stubborn encounters amp up the sexual tension that sizzles between them, building to the point where they’ll combust if they don’t do something about their mutual attraction and lust.

Childish antics and snarky retorts abound in Ava and Ethan’s story; these two are as stubborn as they come, which means they’ll fight to get the upper hand by whatever means necessary, which is the reason readers can’t help but laugh out loud when things go down between them.

Kiss Me Again is a great way to bring this romantic comedy series to a close, and while I’ll miss the witty exchanges and steamy scenes that were made even better due to the heroes and heroines’ magnetic personalities, I can’t wait to see what Hart has in store for her readers next.

***4 ‘Mr. Prickles’ Stars***

O.M.G. My head hurts.

This was no holds barred “enemies” to lovers crazy ~ though I’ll admit that there were some things that I found truly inspiring and will definitely utilize if I ever have the chance, but I digress ~ but I barreled through it and even with the headache and even the eyes hurting a bit from rolling too much, I did enjoy the ride.

Ava and Ethan kinda did me in. They really did. And it wasn’t a gradual thing at all. Nope. No build up. Nothing. They went nuclear from the start and all I could do was strap in and pray because these two went, they went big. This isn’t to say I didn’t like them, because I did. Ava is comfortable in her own skin and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Ethan is, for all intents and purposes, a good man, but...

Their journey is chaotic at best and even though I did snort laugh at some things, the frustration with these two was real. And quite honestly, up until the last few chapters I wasn’t on a team. They both were basically their own worst enemies, but then that ‘thing’ happened and I found myself a little more on #TeamAva than #TeamEthan. But, in the end, they were a perfect match for each other and I am happy with how it all finally worked out.

This series was a lot of fun to read. There are a few characters I’m hoping will get their own HEA’s in the future, but overall, this one was chock full of great times with characters I love ~ Reagan and Noah are still my ultimate favs!. So if you like a good old enemies to lovers OTT romance that will have you laughing, growling and being inspired by the crazy, then this baby is for you!

This is book3 in one of the most entertaining series I have read this year!

Spiky piglet OMG!!! I love this pet and his owner!
Love the story ! love the characters!

Kiss Me Again is the kind of book that should come with a warning- “do not read in public”. I found myself laughing out loud, tears rolling down my cheeks because this book is hilarious, funny and steamy!
I have loved Ava from book 1 and I couldn’t wait to. Read her story! I mean she had a crush for her brother’s best friend forever EVER!!
Ava and Ethan are going to push each other to the limit, to the unthinkable but I loved the ride, I loved their chemistry and the banter , jeez, they are the best!

They are going to push each other to the limit, to the unthinkable but I loved the ride, I loved their chemistry and the pranks, jeez, their chat is the best!


Ava has a serious case of word vomit every time she opens her mouth. I’d say that she should install a new filter, but it’s too damn funny. This quirk of Ava’s endears Ethan, but the man cannot catch a break with her. Of course, Ava is always WAY TOO QUICK to judge.... so his stay was meant to be for 3 months .... he uses her Netflix ... yup this is a recipe for disaster! Or is it??

Prepare for lots of crazy banters between these two: romantic comedy at its best

As usual it didn't take by one page to be sucked right back into this series! I've also learned though, that it is not safe to read books by Emma Hart while I have a cough, because I get to laughing so hard that I can't stop coughing which leads to problems with breathing. But Hart's books are ones I can't skip, because I love the characters so much! The humor and all the friendships are my favorite parts, and the steaminess is perfect as well. They are very sexy, but with just the perfect amount of what is realistic, awkward, or just normal in those very type of situations. I know that with almost every one of the author's stories I find myself mentioning the connections I feel with the characters, but these days I think I am a lot like Ava with her crankiness and snarkiness. I probably need a guy like Ethan Hawkins (anyone else get the little connection I got there to Ethan Hawke?) to deal with someone like me. I loved that just because they finally figured out that they were attracted to each other towards the end and began to act on that, they still were most comfortable when they were arguing or just being their usual selves towards each other. That's exactly what I need and want! Now, we've got all three of our girls in this group hooked up, but here's hoping the author will also let Ava's brother Leo have a story at some point as well!

I'm sad to say that this trilogy didn't end on a high note like it started. It's not that I didn't enjoy Kiss Me Again, but I couldn't connect with Ava. Honestly, she annoyed me just about through the whole entire story. I loved the romance, Ethan was a fun character, but it was just missing something for me.

Ava has had a crush on Ethan for quite a few years, but this has kind of turned into hate, because Ethan is her brother's best friend. I did like this awkward situation. It's fun seeing her try to be upset with him, when that's far from the truth.

Ethan isn't one to settle in one place, but staying with Ava for awhile wasn't what he pictured. I enjoyed Ethan's character. He seems pretty easygoing and works hard. He also scored points with me by having a pet hedgehog. Not something I see often in books. I have to say I would've liked more chapters from Ethan's POV. I couldn't completely connect with him, because I didn't feel like I knew him.

Ava and Ethan pranking each other was definitely funny and it was interesting to see what they would do next. My favorite part about this was asking the other's sibling what they could do to annoy the other. It was clear they had a soft spot for each other, it just took them awhile to admit it.

All in all, this trilogy was a lot of fun. If you're looking for feelgood books that leave a smile on your face, definitely pick these up. Also, we get to read about the characters we met and loved during the first two books. The raccoons are still may favorite! I can't wait to see what this author does next.

The final book in the Kiss Me series by Emma, each of the the girls have their own story and this one features Ava who has had a major crush on her brothers best friend Ethan for years, but they do not get on together, like at all, it's like World War 3 when these two get together, which isn't often, or wasn't... until Ava agrees to let Ethan move in an be her new roommate!!

This was an absolutely hilarious read, I loved these two with a passion!! These two drive each other up the wall, and their passive-aggressive antics will have you howling with laughter. Both are obsessed with each other and have had crushes for an age, but neither are willing to go that step further due to the 'bro code' and loyalty to family, so instead hide behind banter, wit and very mischievous antics.... of course this only lasts to long before their chemistry and attraction can be denied no longer!

This was a great read, I loved the characters and could not put his down waiting to see how their relationship would play out. Highly recommended reading.

Ava and Ethan's story is a great funny enemies to lovers story that had me laughing out loud at so many points. The fight and pull between these two characters is written very well although I found myself screaming at them multiple times to realize what they are doing/missing.

Another laugh out loud read and sad to these come to an end and really hoping maybe some of the characters will pop up in the future.

I don't know. I wanted to like this but I was just a tad underwhelmed. It had potential, but it may be just my fault, because I can't focus on books very well (national emergency/pandemic for future reference).

It was kind of snarky, but it fell just a bit flat at time for me. I thought they were both a little immature, which the author had attempted to disguise as stubbornness.

Audiobook was good.

Incessant F-bombs in a New Adult, enemies-to-lovers plot

I am obviously not the intended audience for this New Adult romantic comedy. The choleric heroine peppers her speech with incessant F-bombs. In addition, she is a typical, narcissistic, chick-lit-type, female protagonist, who eats a lot of fattening junk food and never gains an ounce, and guzzles enough booze with her BFFs to destroy her liver by age 30.

The slovenly hero lost me at the point where he was eating Doritos on the couch and used his pants for a napkin. Ugh.

Fans of infantile 20-somethings might enjoy this book. I couldn't stomach the thought of reading the inevitable raunchy sex scenes this author is known for between these two losers, and I bailed out of this story early on.

Ever since I read Kiss Me Not, the first book in the Kiss Me series, I knew that I had to continue reading the rest of the series and it didn’t disappoint at all. Emma Hart has managed to deliver yet another laugh-out-loud story in Kiss Me Again, filled with sass and tender moments.

Ava Parker is in trouble, she is struggling to pay the rent and she needs a roommate fast. She was so desperate that when her brother suggests for his friend, Ethan, to move in with her she immediately agrees. Now it’s the big move day and she is starting to regret ever agreeing to him moving into her apartment. Having grown up with Ethan, they never got along yet she is hopelessly in love with him.

Her friends, Halley and Reagan are the only ones that know about her feelings for him and she intends to keep it that way. But having him close to her is definitely not working, she is attracted to him and at the same time they start to bicker about random things in the apartment. So when he moved the placement of her candles one morning, she takes it as a sign of war and the two begin a game of who is getting who. One of them would be the winner, but little did they know that they would end up winning each other’s hearts. If there is one thing that Ava is afraid of is of getting hurt and for Ethan to leave soon. She is ready to protect her heart against anything before it’s too late.

Ethan Hawkins is used to moving around with his friend Leo and since they are both back in town, he suggests for him to move to Ava’s apartment knowing that he wouldn’t be there for long. But it’s clear to him the minute he moves in that they will never get along. She is still sassy and having her at close proximity is messing with his head because he has always had feelings for her. Even though he likes her, he can’t get himself to make a move due to her brother. Leo has been his best friend since they were kids and he doesn’t want to damage their relationship. Yet, the more time he spends with Ava the more certain he is of her and now he has to finds a way to make her see how much he truly loves her.

I absolutely loved reading this book! Hart has done it again, she truly knows how to deliver humor in each other her stories. Kiss Me Again had me laughing and rooting for the characters from the very beginning. Ava has such a sassy personality and has no filter. Luckily for her, Ethan has the same type of humor and they compliment each other really well. The fact that he has a hedgehog as a pet was so cute! He is caring and protective. Ava is smart and definitely my favorite character in the series. She is herself and it shows in the book. All in all, the story was a great read and the ending will literally melt your heart. Definitely a must-read! :)

“You wanna know?”
“Yes. What is Ethan’s Achilles heel?”
Her throat bobbed, and she said one word in response. “You.”



Ava should have predicted she would get in trouble when her brother asked for a favor. For her inability to say no, she finds herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Her apartment has just been invaded by her new roommate, none other than her brother's best friend, along with several boxes and a cage with a hedgehog, a fact that shakes her sanity and disturbs her already poor self-control. But if all this is already a big problem, the fact that she has been in love with him for years only makes matters worse.
Ethan needs a place to live. Unable to afford a rent by himself, sharing the apartment is the only solution. But the fact that Ava is the other resident will test his limits. This infuriating woman who makes his blood boil is completely forbidden to him. Too bad she's the little sister of his best friend.
With the two sharing the same roof, a battlefield is armed, and living together becomes a real war. Willing to drive each other crazy, expect “pranks” from salt in the coffee, stolen socks, hidden marshmallows and even a hostile attack on Netflix.
Ava and Ethan will give new meaning to the term home sweet home. Her aggressive passive attitude and his denial of his feelings will cause boundaries to be crossed, attacks to be planned, until the ultimate fuse is inevitable. And it is a matter of time before the desire speaks louder.
Ava has a sharp tongue, is sarcastic and totally insane. Do not expect a damsel in distress. Ethan faces her toe to toe, and though I want to shake him at times, his sense of loyalty to his friend is what makes him a man of character.
With fun moments, a cat and mouse couple, a cute hedgehog, and a lot of confusion, Kiss me again is a great ending to the story of three crazy and eccentric friends. The other characters appear in the story, as do the famous and illustrious raccoons.
A great read.

I was waiting for Ava and Ethan's story so impatiently ever since her secret crush was mentioned in the first book. And as it's always the case with Ms. Hart's books, I was quick to put my paws on it and dive right in.

Ava has been in love with her brother's best friend, Ethan since forever. What's the best way of denying your feelings? Pretend hatred and bitchiness. That's been her way of dealing with her feelings and it'd made the banter between them pretty hilarious.
Ethan is not one to settle down and I'm not talking about relationships, but places. But he's back and needs a place to live so, God knows why, Ava offers him her spare bedroom. It's not the smartest decision she's ever made. Leaving in close quarters to someone she wants to jump in one moment and kill in the next doesn't make living together easy. Soon there's a passive aggressive roommate war going on between them and let me tell you, it's entertaining as hell.
But as it turns out, Ava is not the only one with hidden feelings and when that comes out, it makes things a bit awkard and uncomfortable between them. Loyalty to Leo, Ava's brother, seems to stand between them and neither of them know what to do about it.

Loved it, I was honestly expecting a bit more of sexual tension, but it was such a fun read anyway. Love this series and I hope we get at least one more story, maybe Leo's?

Kiss Me Again is the third and final book in the Kiss Me series by Emma Hart. It's time for the last single gal of the group to get a man and that man is no other than her brother's best friend, Seth. These two always hated each other as the blurb says so you can get an idea of how the story will go. Or did they? We got quite the blurred lines in this book.

To be quite honest with you, I found some of the pranks Seth and Ava pulled to be childish and they were not my kind of humor. I guess some of the readers will find them hilarious, but I was not a big fan of the humor this book had. It was the sourest thing about the book as a whole and mostly the reason I gave it 4 stars. Pranks are not my thing and we get to see plenty of them in this book.

I am a big fan of the best friend's sister/brother trope and in this case, it was executed well. Ethan was a better character than Ava and certainly more likable. The pace of the book was good and the characters clicked for me as a couple. The book is a stand-alone, but I would recommend reading the other books first. My reasoning behind that recommendation is that in my opinion, this is the weakest book in the series/trilogy and the one I enjoyed the least, so I wouldn't want someone to read this one as their first Emma Hart book because I don't feel like it's as good as the others.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.

Emma Hart's stories always delight me and this one was no different. She has a knack for writing stories that make me laugh and amuse the heck out of me. This story was certainly entertaining. It is an enemies-to-lovers story at its finest. The characters were so easy to connect with, which is the case for all of the books that I have read by Emma Hart. She writes characters with real-life problems and backgrounds that the reader can't help but fall in love with. This was a fast-paced story that I couldn't put down. The only thing that I would change about this story would be to thicken up the character development a bit. I loved the characters but I thought that they could have used a little more depth. Their development felt a bit rushed. Apart from that, this entire series has been awesome and I totally recommend these books if you want a story that will put a smile on your face.

I have been dying for Ava’s book and it is seriously my favorite of the three. Who doesn’t love a best friends little sister romance that is full of laughs and an adorable hedgehog?

Ava needs a roommate and Ethan needs a place to stay, only problem is these two can’t stop fighting with each other and they are both harboring secret crushes on each other. The biggest problem? Ava is the little sister of Ethan’s best friend, Leo.

I loved the banter between those two. I was dying of laughter from the very beginning, especially when it came to the war. There are things that would have drove me crazy, too! The chemistry between Ava and Ethan was also fantastic. Once they finally gave into their desires it was explosive.
I loved that there was also plenty of the other couples from the previous books, when they were all together it was pure comedy and I wish I was a part of the group to just laugh and join in on the fun.

Emma Hart delivers another laugh out loud rom com with Kiss Me Again. This is a MUST READ!

* I received an ARC from Social Butterfly PR & Emma Hart*

What a perfect conclusion to this series. I knew from reading the first book that this series was going to be great. You met Ava in the first book and she was a crack up then and when I found out she was getting her own book I was excited.

Kiss Me Again is the story of Ava and Ethan. Ethan being Ava's brothers best friend who she has had a crush on for years and lets him temporarily move in with her. Ava likes order and doesn't like people messing with her stuff so when she finds out that Ethan owns a hedgehog she lays down some ground rules.

The sexual tension between these two was bound to burst any minute. When Ava found out that Ethan was in love with her and that she was his Achilles Heel I was so happy.

This book was filled with laugh out loud moments, some very dirty pranks, a cute hedgehog and a HEA.

So we finally get Ethan's and Ava's story. A big brothers best friend forbidden love, but is it really. Maybe its that I do not have older brothers just sisters, but I do have a whole lot of male cousins who had sisters and yet they were never like that with them, or me and they were like my brothers, however we wouldn't have a story if that is what all did or felt. So Ethan has had a crush on Ava forever so he plays the playground game of yanking on her pigtails, by getting her infuriated with him. Avan doesn't stay back she is just as bad with him and she also has been seriously crushing and they both think that they could never betray her brother like that. But would they really? Grab a copy and Enjoy! Noah and Scar still my favorite.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Not gonna lie though, there were a couple of moments where I was frustrated with Ethan and Ava, but I could understand why they didn't want to admit to their feelings. But it was never expressed if someone was off-limits, so clearly this could have all been solved if people learned to communicate lol (always easier said than done). I loved getting a chance to see Reagan, Halley, Noah and Preston again, and I got the biggest kick out the roommate war revenge antics between Ethan and Ava. I liked how the story wrapped up, the fact what was thought to have been an obstacle clearly wasn't (again, communication's the key to ANY relationship), and the epilogue was absolutely fantastic and hilarious all at the same time.

This is the third book in the Kiss Me Series but can be read as a stand-alone. Emma Hart is brilliant and should be dubbed THE queen of rom-com. Her sense of humor and overall writing style is quick witted and perfectly developed to create these amazing stories that touch the heart yet leave the reader, literally laughing out loud. Kiss Me Again is a light-hearted, fun read that just hits home. Loved it.


Thank you to @socialbutterfly_pr for this ARC. #KissMeAgain was read and reviewed voluntarily.

Ava tends to drive her man bonkers, "he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Jesus. Okay, I’m sorry.” Ethan tends to make some valid ponts, even if they are a tad bit out there, “don’t you have a picture of my ballsac on your phone because I let the hedgehog out once? That’s crazy-b**ch territory in my opinion.” I loved this book, the banter between Ava and Ethan was hilarious.

DNF 28%. Ava is annoying. What kind of 27 year old changes sugar for salt just to piss off your adult roommate? I like Ethan but Ava is so boring that I couldn't enjoy him. And they don't have chemistry. It is a really bad romcom.
