3:AM Kisses #11
Stolen Kisses
*Can be a standalone*
Tall, tatted, and drop dead gorgeous? Grant Jones is sex on a stick —which explains why every female at Whitney Briggs University gravitates in his direction. Every girl wants to bed him, and every guy wants to be him. Grant is the whole package, and I cannot wait to do a little unwrapping.
Ava is the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. But I’ve tried relationships, and they don’t work out for me. The truth is, I’ve never let the deep wound of losing my sister, Steph, heal properly. I’m taking a break from relationships to mend my heart the right way.
But Ava isn’t giving up. She’s sweet, and fun, and that soul melting smile of hers gets me every time. Maybe letting Ava in will be far more healing than trying to do this on my own. Stephanie would want me to be happy. I know she would.
And just as soon as a ray of happiness enters my world, I’m faced with the crushing truth about who Ava really is. Instead of healing, I’ve managed to split my heart wide open. The devastating truth is, Ava and I were never meant to be in the same room—let alone spend a lifetime together. Unless another twist of fate intervenes, our time together will never amount to more than a few Stolen Kisses.

The more I read Addison's work the more I'm in love with the characters. They wrap an invisible cloak around your heart keeping you close to them long after the words bleed off the page.
It's light, fun, exoctic, at heartfelt, yet full of spunk. It hilariously funny yet so real it makes you feel you're apart of the story -Nook Books and More Blog.
Ava and Grant are on fire in this book. Are they in love or are they just having fun? There journey is about getting over lose and going on with there life. It gets complicated once things unfold because they have much more to do with there families lives then they thought. Can they overcome this? You'll have to read and see. This is not just a steamy romance but passion drives this plot. It's about a journey among friends and healing along the way
The main characters of this book are hilariously funny, witty, and charming. The cluster of friends have a unique bond and explain the average lives and experience people endure. The story brings a true life experience out of it along with a love that's desirable in any eye.
I would highly recommend this series and really any book that this author has ever written . She pulls her heart in soul into her writing. She's impeccable in her writing skills let me tell ya! This series each book can be read as a standalone. It's refreshing when you're pushed for time.
I freaking loved this book! Five stars baby!!

Oh man, where to start! I knew going in this would be a YA/NA book, but this was so juvenile and drama-laden, I had to skim to finish. May be easier to list my issues:
1) Ava's brother is overprotective to the point of almost stalking her constantly...then why go to the same college as him? And she's jealous of his girlfriend because she wants his attention, but then tries desperately to hide from him all the time.
2) Ava seems pretty preoccupied with losing her virginity...not a fan of virgin heroines, but she just seems extremely naive.
3) Grant doesn't want to date so he can work on himself...but he kind of leads Ava on, rejects her first attempt at a kiss because he doesn't want the first kiss to be in public (lame), then lets his ex-gf kiss him immediately after. So. Much. Drama. He leads Ava on at every turn, but sends mixed signals immediately after. I just wanted to punch him and her.
4) Grant's ex seems crazy...like, stalker who won't give up crazy. Yet he insists they're friends, knows she wants to be with him, won't reject her advances, and initiates their hanging out together. But he doesn't realize it will hurt Ava? Really?
5) Ava makes out with Grant's best friend and lets him feel her up...multiple times...in front of Grant. The sheer amount of OM/OW drama in this should have made me put it down immediately. It was like reading about immature 13 year olds.
6) Ava and her brother keep saying their sister is a murderer because she's sick. This killed me! Maybe she was just a raging evil bitch!! There is no indication in the story she has mental illness. And Grant forgiving her and the visitation scene? Nope. No way. Not buying it.
I could keep going, but suffice it to say this book sucked in every way.

I’ve read a few of this series and this one (besides Winter Kisses) was my favorite. I connected more with these characters than the others. I also could feel their chemistry from the book. Most books I’ve been reading I don’t feel the natural chemistry between characters. Not too much drama but just enough to keep me intrigued. We see Ava wanting to become her own person and get away from her overprotective brother. Grant helps her do just that. The tragedies that both characters went through tore me up. I shed a few tears. I don’t want to give away too much but I love this storyline and Ava and Grant’s story it was original, well written and just overall amazing.

I feel like once you've read one of the books in this series, you've read all of them. It's not that Stolen Kisses was awful, but there was nothing new about it. It was nice to read about some of the characters that appear in Dirty Kisses; I was specially interested int reading this romance, between Grant and Ava, because of their pasts interwining and them not knowing about it.
I felt like I spent a big part of the story anticipating the moment they were going to realize who each oher were; it was a great to think about how Grant would deal with the fact that , and how Ava would deal with the guilt of it.
As always, big brothers acted like total idiots, specially Ava's brother Owen with his obsession of protecting her. It was a real disappointment that the person that reveals who Ava really is to Grant is . And Grant's reaction to this wasn't coherent at all.
In general, it was a disappointment. In brings nothing new to the series and it wasn't at all what I was expecting from the story.

Ava has lived in the shadow of both her brother Owen and crazy murdering sister Aubrey. She finally thinks that she can stand on her own, and falls for the guy she should least fall in love with Grant. Grant happens to be the brother of the girl that Aubrey killed. Grant tries to have platonic feelings for Ava, but eventually just goes all in, only to find out who she is. They are both heartbroken, but end up fixing things..Honestly too childish for me.

This series just keeps getting better and better!!! Grant & Ava were great characters who have a complicated history, but neither of them know it.
Ava was adorable, seriously I loved her! She was quirky, funny, sarcastic & kind. Her friendship with Lucky & Harper was more like a sisterhood, they were close and had each other's backs. I understood Ava's need to get from out under her brother and sister, but I loved that she was close to her siblings, even if one sibling was indisposed.
Grant is a little lost and broken, but when Ava enters his life, it's like he has color back in his black & white world. Grant was swoon worthy and he tried to keep Ava in the friend zone, but his feelings just kept growing and when she gave hi the push that he needed, they both took the plunge into each other's love. Except, there is a dark cloud coming that neither of them are prepared for.
This book was beautifully written and I really loved Grant & Ava's characters. I loved that we got to see characters from past books and I loved seeing how everyone is intertwined. Addison Moore has created a fantastic series with characters that will stay with me years to come.

When life gives you lemons.... wow what a wonderful book . Ruth Cardello wrote such a heart touching book that had me in tears at times and other times fanning myself from the heat from this hot sexy couple. I love the messages in the book about underage drinking as well as pet adoption. This is a book that is not only a good romance but has meaning as well. I love this entire series of book and while this not the first time I have read this book for some reason it is the first time I decided to review it. I have to say this series and all the series that are connected to this one by Ruth Cardello and other authors are so worth your reading.

This is one of my favorite series because each book is their own so you can read them in whatever order or just read one here and there. The best part is all the characters tie together in one way or another. It makes the book you read previously fit together. It also lets you see how the other couple was after their story was over and so forth. I love Grant and Ava together. This series never gets old for me because Addison Moore has a way of making each characters relationships different.

I loved this book however the only thing I didn’t like was the fact that due to the past history of both characters sisters it just seemed a little weird. Don’t get me wrong, Grant and Ava were cute together just felt it took them forever to get together. Like sheesh get together already. I honestly thought Ava’s brother would have been a lot worse when he found out they were together. I really enjoy reading this series though!

I seriously love this series! Addison Moore did it again. I laughed, and I cried. This story was beautifully written, a real love conquers all book. When you stop to think about how these two could ever be together, it doesn't seem possible. I would have loved to read both of their parents reaction, but either way Ava and Grant were going to be together.

This is so sad and sweet
The friendship and attraction between the two of them grew into love and was nearly destroyed by their sisters. One murdered by the other. Only apparently Grant's love for Ava and his sister led him to forgiveness. Such a sweet and sad story and I loved it.

So good!
This novel had a lot of good moments, a lot of sweet moments, and a lot of amazing moments that just brought a warm smile to my face; however, there were the times were it would lull and I would think about placing it down in favor of another, but in the end I'm glad I stuck it out and finished it.

Sweet
Written for the 17 to 25 age group a sweet and moving story of young love and tragedy. A college setting, families torn yet finding a way to knit and then blossom. No cheating, no cliffhanger and you do get a happy ending.

Very sweet with angst.
Ava and Grant captured my heart from the first. This book is so well written and descriptive. But you knew the road would have some bumps and tears. A good young love read.

Fun read
Fun read. I liked the story and love how we get to follow all the characters but I did feel like the end was rushed a bit. I thought he forgave so quickly after being so sure. I still liked it though

Another great addition to the 3:AM Kisses series.
You really can`t go wrong, I haven't read one that I haven't enjoyed.
I even shed a tear while reading this book, looking forward to the next book in the series

This was the big story I was waiting for. Must read the series from the beginning to fully understand where these two characters are coming from. Letting go of the past is hard but you must look forward to the future.

Forgiveness is healing
Very well written story about how forgiveness can be healing and freeing. It's an emotional story because it's not easy to forgive anyone especially if that person took away your sister and best friend.

Typical Addison Moore story. Which is not a bad thing. This book contained just enough drama, angst and comedy to keep me entertained. Not very many editing mishaps. HEA
