The Kisses #8
Sunrise Kisses
Will sunrise kisses with Bastian end my lonely nights?
Ava Fairchild was sure that she'd never find love.
Seemingly lost in a sea of self-pity, she was delighted when her appraisal company was given a job in the Caribbean. A once-in-a-lifetime trip to appraise Sebastian Belrose's billion-dollar estate seemed to be exactly what she needed to relax and enjoy herself.
A walk to the beach at dawn gave her a first impression of the billionaire himself, paddle boarding on the gentle waves. He was reserved and mysterious, and Ava wanted to know all of his secrets. His evasiveness and the fact that he forbade her from traveling to his Study just added to his allure, while simultaneously reminding her about the secrets that destroyed her last relationship. Still, every sunrise that they shared together made her fall more desperately in love with him.
But Bastian had a reason for keeping to himself. And as Ava saw the scars that criss-crossed his body, she knew that what she had found was a soul not unlike herself. A man who had been damaged. A man who deserved to trust. A man that deserved to love, and to be loved. Would this beauty be able to tame the beast, or would they be left with just memories of sunrise kisses?
“Thank you,” I whispered. “You saved me.”
I leaned forward and kissed him. It started innocently enough, but the adrenaline and fear mixed with gratitude and attraction overwhelmed me. I found my tongue pushing to enter his mouth, wanting his in mine and my hands pressing into his broad chest for more.
He pulled back, grabbing my wrists and holding me in place.
“I don't want to hurt you,” he groaned, fighting with his own desire. “I don't want to take advantage.”
I pushed harder against him, imploring with him with my eyes not to stop. “Please,” I begged, unable to fight my attraction for him. His chivalrous refusal not to take advantage only made it that much harder. I wanted him even more. “Please...”
His brow softened. He picked at a loose strand of hair by my cheek, carefully tucking it behind my ear. His eyes absorbed me, trying to decide if I really was asking.
“Please, Bastian...” I whispered one more time. The sound of his name was his undoing. He kissed me just as the car pulled to a stop in front of the house. It was a short kiss, but full of raw passion.
He had my seat-belt undone in an instant, picking me up in his arms and carrying me up the steps to the main entrance. Elijah opened the door, but that was the last I saw of him as Bastian carried me up the stairs and to his bedroom, kissing me the entire way...

Sunrise Kisses is another truly outstanding novel in Krista Lakes’ Kisses Series. A true sign for me that a book is going to capture my heart is that after I have begun reading it I just can’t get the story or the characters out of my head wishing for time to pass quickly so I can get back to my Kindle. Well that is exactly what Sunrise Kisses has done to me. I was instantly drawn to these characters with a growing anticipation and looking forward to where this story was going to lead them, fighting the urge to flip to the last couple of pages just to ease my mind and ensure that Ms. Lakes was going to give them their happily ever after.
Ava works appraising art for her family’s business which has been commissioned to perform an extensive appraisal for billionaire Sebastian Belrose. After catching her soon-to-be fiancé cheating on her, Ava looks forward to escaping his presence (which is hard to do since he works for her family’s business as well) and head to the Caribbean along with her father to begin their work on the assessment of Sabastian’s home and its massive and exclusive contents. Although their first meeting was less than ideal, Ava and Bastian both quickly feel a magical pull and electrifying chemistry with each other which neither has ever before experienced. But although the connection between them grows, Ava’s insecurities in feeling that because she is a small town girl she could never be good enough for a “billionaire” continues to plague her thoughts. Will Ava ever be able to overcome her self-doubt and recognize that what she and Bastian share is a once in a lifetime love which cannot be defined by social status or background?
To be honest, I am a couple of “Kisses” books behind, but that didn’t effect nor hinder the amazingness or my enjoyment of this novel. The captivating and emotional joining between Ava and Bastian’s souls is spectacular quickly moving Sunrise Kisses to the top of my favorite books list. Even while I was reading it, I could feel the pull inside of me knowing that as soon as I finished their story, I would want to go back to the beginning just so I could experience it once again. Krista Lakes is an amazing storyteller earning her a place on my Goodreads top-five authors list, and I know she is definitely going to be moving up, up, up on that list as she continues to write more incredible stories because she is a “must read” author for me.

Sunrise Kisses by Krista Lakes is the next continuation of the Kisses Series. We get to meet the dashing Sebastian Belrose and the lovely Ava Fairchild. This amazing couple has chemistry in spades and had real personalities. The build up for their first kiss was understandable and made it all the more perfect. And the intimate scenes were sexy. Something about Sunrises Kisses gave me a Beauty and the Beast feel.

I have read all of the books in the "Kisses" series, and all I can say is this "Sunrise Kisses" REALLY, REALLY does NOT disappoint. I received an ARC of this book (Thank You Krista!) in exchange for my honest opinion/review of this book. I loved it! I did not want to put the book down, if it was not for having to go to work, I would not have. I received "Sunrise Kisses" late Monday night, I opened it at 1am Tuesday morning, finished it Tuesday evening. I just could not put it down
The characters are all well created, Ava and Bastian are the perfect pair. My heart went out to both of them the night they spent on the beach and finally .......
Oh wait a minute, you have not read the book yet, I am not going to spoil it for you!
Read this book, you will love it!
Great, great job Krista
Can't wait for the next in the series!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have not read any book by Krista Lakes that I have not completely loved and this book is no different. This is the latest book in one of my favorite series. Sunrise Kisses is not dependent on any of the other books in the series to be read first.
Sunrise Kisses is the love story between two individuals who more than deserve it. Ava Fairchild is an art appraiser who works with her father and aunt in the family's auction business. Sebastian Belrose is a billionaire who hires them to appraise his house in the Caribbean. For Ava this could not come at a better time since she discovered, who she thought would be her fiancée, with another woman. Chad, who I hated, also works in the business which makes it awkward for Ava. So this business trip to paradise could not have been better planned.
Sebastian, better known as Bastian, is a billionaire who guards his privacy and doesn't let many people in. The first interaction between the two is so funny and believable. Without putting in any spoilers (you need to read this book), the journey these two take make you believe anything is possible.
I loved Ava's dad and his unconditional support of his daughter. I also loved Charlotte and her support of Bastian.
I had three quotes from the book that really stuck with me after I finished it. The first one was "The ocean was washing me clean so I could start over." This was a very meaningful time for Ava. The second one was "Everything has value. You just have to give things a chance to show you their worth." And third " I knew I couldn't waste this moment."
I hope you read this book and those quotes and more stick with you. Congrats Krista! You did it again!!
PS I hope Charlotte's book is coming.

I have loved every book in the kisses series and this one did not disappoint. It was fantastic. I loved each character. There was humor, comfort, romance and plenty of sizzle. Definitely will read this one again when I need a pick me up. I received an ARC of this book, which in no way influenced my opinion of this book.

Wow what a truly captivating story, Loved Loved Loved this story. I received an ARC for an honest review.
Ava Fairchild is so excited she has just received a phone call for the most amazing job ever, so she runs to her soon to be fiancé Chad's apartment to tell him the good news where she finds him banging the waitress. Devastated Ava knows breaking up with Chad is for the best but she doesn't know what she is going to do for the next two months until she will be able to get away from her small town life and Chad (since Chad works as an auctioneer at her family's business). Ava's father and his sister are the owners of Fairchild Auctions and Appraisals. Ava and her father do all the appraisals while her aunt handles the auctions. The exciting news that Ava had just received was a call from Billionaire Sebastian Belrose's assistant offering Fairchild Auctions and Appraisals a job to appraise his mansion in the Caribbean and to put it up for auction. This was the biggest job they had ever gotten.
When they arrive in the Caribbean the mansion is so big they are given maps so they don't get lost, but it is the placement of the mansion on a private cove that makes it fit for a billionaire. Although Ava and Sebastian do not hit it off at their first meeting the days to follow are full of stolen glances and witty banter and sizzling chemistry. Krista Lakes writing is so captivating you feel every blush and spark between these two. But they both have insecurities to overcome as well as scars that will need to heal to further this magical chemistry of theirs. Will they be able to believe in themselves or will they let the lies of others seal their fate. Let Krista Lakes take you on a Breathtaking, Outstanding, Sizzling, Sexy, Love Story. You will laugh, cry and never want to quit reading this magical story.
Thank you for this truly Breathtaking gem of a story.

I have loved all of the "Kisses" series and was not disappointed in Sunrise Kisses!! Mrs. Lakes has crafted another masterpiece. I enjoyed the new characters introduced in this story. I found the appraisal of art, antiques and home a fresh spin on the plot, one in which I had not read before. The dynamics of the characters and the mystique behind Sebastian kept me captivated and excited to continue reading. It was also nice to feel the characters insecurities and doubts...kept them "human".
For me the difference between a 4 star and 5 star rating is the pull or draw of the story to keep me captivated and wanting more...keeping me up late or pulling me away during the day. This story pulled me in until I had to succumb to sleep and then continued to draw me in throughout the day - I couldn't wait to finish work!!! Definite 5 star for me!

After catching her fiance cheating the working trip in the Caribbean was just the thing she needed to clear her head. Working for the Billionaire Sabatian Belrose to appraise his mansion and everything in it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Plenty of miles from the ex, the Caribbean, a hot billionaire, a new friend Charlotte, appraising art and furniture, also health issues with Dad put Ava on a new path.
*okay sorry I have to do this review later so this is it for now....TBC

Got for free with other kindle book by krista lakes (yours completely, a Cinderella story). Have to say liked this book best. Ava left behind a cheating boyfriend at home, to appraise an estate auction with her father for a wealthy billionaire Sebastion Belrose in the Caribbean. Ava is intrigued by the mysterious and reserved Sebastion. He comes to her aide when her father suddenly falls ill. Currently you can get both for 99cents at amazon.

Sunrise Kisses
By: Krista Lakes
💖💖💖💖
I gave this book 4 out of 5!!! The love story between Sebastian and Ava is just cute as can be. It was written well. It is made very clear that Ava is intimidated and insecure because he is a billionaire.
Sebastian is a billionaire who is auctioning off his house in the Caribbean with it's antique furnishing. He is a handsome man who is very private,kind of a grouch at first and has a traumatic past which caused scaring all over his body. He has Ava's fathers business come and evaluate the estate.
Ava is a beautiful red head who just broke up with her boyfriend Chad who was cheating on her. Timing couldn't be better to get away. Her families business is about to go under, her boyfriend cheated on her and he won't leave her alone.
Ava and Sebastian meet in an extremely funny way (you have to read the book to find out)!!! Lets just say Ava completely embarrasses herself :)! These two become close but they only have a week or do they? Chad tries to get Ava back by lying to everyone even Sebastian about her. Will Ava and Sebastian's love continue or crash and burn because she thinks she is not good enough for him?

I love Krista Lakes and The Kisses Series is definitely one of my favorite. The stories are always a light and romantic read and are perfect for relaxing at home after a long day at work :) Well, this new addition to the series definitely didn't disappoint :) I loved meeting Ava and Sebastian and I have to say that they are definitely one of my favorite couples in this series :)
Sebastian is a gorgeous light, golden-brown haired billionaire with intense blue-grey eyes that can melt your panties with one mesmerizing look. He is reserved and has difficulties trusting people and enjoying everyday life. That's why I enjoyed so much reading how he changes little by little because of Ava, because of the light she brings into his darkness :) Sebastian is scarred both on the inside on on the inside from the tragic accident in his childhood and Ava is the person who helps him heal. On the other hand, Sebastian helps Ava to believe again in romance and love after her disastrous break-up. In a way they complete each other perfectly and I was definitely enjoying reading how the find the way to each other.
In a few words, this is an amazing romance story and I definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading this type of books. Me, personally, I can't wait for the next book in the series. And I am so hoping that it's going to be Christina and Leo's story. I definitely fell in love with both characters while reading Sunrise Kisses :)

This review is from: Sunrise Kisses: A Billionaire Love Story (Saltwater Kisses Book 8) (Kindle Edition)
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Krista Lakes has gone and done it again. I absolutely love this book, so much I cried during parts of it. I was not at all surprised when Ava caught Chad cheating and threw a lamp at them...then wanted to punch him in the face, but didnt( I would have). Ava meets Bastian on a job in the Caribbean and then their eyes meet you understand then and throughout the book why it was not supposed to work out with Chad. Between sunrises and stolen kisses this book radiates with lots of chemestry, sparks and sexual tension. Both Bastian and Ava realize and are afraid to admit that what will happen when the job is over, both are from completely different worlds. This book is a MUST READ. I hope to see more of these characters in future books

I've read all of the Kisses books and loved them all! This one is no different.
Ava has recently ended a relationship with her cheating ex when she lands the job of a lifetime appraising a home for a wealthy businessman. She didn't expect to fall in love in the process. There are so many relationships in the book. She has her relationship with her father, makes a great new friend, and finds the love that she deserves.
Ava and Bastian connect with one another on so many levels. They are both damaged and have a rough time with love.
My favorite thing about the book is the way the author describes the scenery so well. They have a private beach with an amazing view. The house has so many paintings it could be a museum. I could picture it all!
Thanks, Krista, for another great addition to the series!

Krista Lakes has done it again with her new addition to her Kisses Series. Sunrise Kisses is a sweet story about Ava and Sebastian! Ava works for her families business of appraising and auctioning estates! After catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman she welcomes a job in the lovely Caribbean appraising a mansion that belongs to billionaire Sebastian Belrose! Although their first meeting wasn't entirely pleasant, the two have a chemistry that cannot be denied. But they are both damaged, burnt by love and not willing to trust their hearts to another again. So will they chase their dreams and catch their happy ending or will they remain closed off and safe from further heartbreak?
I received this ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. I haven't read a book by Krista Lakes that I haven't loved and this one is no exception!!!

Out of all the books in this series this one is my favorite, I loved Bastian the boy was growly, broody, and really really sexy, "I didn't ask for your apology," he growled. "I asked if you wanted to see it." I mean the boy just wasn't in the best of humor at times and it made for great entertainment, "I'm not paying you to stand around," he growled. I nearly dropped my tablet on the floor, but managed to catch it in the nick of time. He glared at me. "There are deadlines for a reason. If I wanted someone to stand and look pretty, I'd hire a model." I was totally with Ava and the appreciating of his a** he had a nice one, "I got a nice view of his a** as he bent to open one of the desk drawers. Grinning like an idiot, I lay down on the couch and listened for the crinkle of a wrapper." I can't wait for another book this is a series I always can't wait to get another book for.

I received this book as an ARC and Sunrise Kisses did not disappoint it is truly another outstanding book by Krista Lakes. Its a continuation in the Kisses Series where we meet the dashingly handsome Sebastian Belrose and the lovely Ava Fairchild. This book has a real (adult version) feel of Beauty and the Beast. I instantly feel in love with Bastian and Ava, they have such great chemistry and complement each other is all ways. The story of how each came to be who they are and the love they showed for each other was beautiful.
Congratulations on another wonderful book!

Another Hit, by Ms. lakes. I have no idea how Ms. lakes always makes the story fun, romantic and draws you in all that time but she does. Do yourself a favor get this book and all her books. You can never go wrong with it.
This story is a sweet romance, I highly recommend this book. I am not willing to say more expect you need to get it. I wish I could give it more then five stars.
I received a copy in exchange for a honest review.

Another brilliant read from Krista. I have read everyone of her books to date and Sunrise Kisses was yet another amazing story of love and trust.
After a heart breaking end to her relationship, Ava swears off men. Can the recluse billionaire be just what she needs? Or will his past not allow him his happiness either?
How Krista manages to write such amazing books every time is beyond me but they always deliver. Brilliant once again..
Can’t wait to see what’s next.

I was given an ARC copy of Sunrise Kisses for my honest opinion. I fell in love with this book from the very beginning of the book. The book draws you right and you wont be able to put the book down.

Ava just wants to help save her family business, little does she know that a huge mansion and its mystery owner are going to lead to love. Sebastian has both physical and emotional scars that have held him back from love. Then Ava walks into his life and the joy he thought he lost is found again. Another great story in a great series.

OK another book in the Kisses series and it was free had to one-click that right away. Totally awesome story set around the Caribbean Islands and this beautiful mansion with Billionaire Sebastian (Bastian) and the art appraiser Ava. Great read

Book 8 in the kisses series was probably a strange place to start a series but I found Sunrise Kisses to be a brilliant read.
Ava and Bastian are the perfect tropical couple with Ava facing problems after problem back home. Bastian is your typical Billionaire with a back story. It's fun to watch the couple skirt around each other and eventually figure out that they are what they have been looking for.
I look forward to backtracking myself back to book one in the future.

I have read all of the preceding books in The Kisses series. I have really enjoyed each book - quick, sweet, page turning sweet love stories. "Sunrise Kisses" was a bit steamier than the previous books. Bastain and Ava's story is a bit of a slow burn. My only gripe is Bastain's temper. He's a bit of a hot head. "Sunrise Kisses" will have your turning pages and keep you up past your bedtime. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of the Kisses series.
