Kisses #1
Smooth Kisses
As the head of customer relations for a luxury resort, Selena Smooth's job is to make sure everyone's vacation is completed without a hitch. That means finding the right toy for a crying baby or delivering flowers on a wedding anniversary or booking the hard-to-get reservations. She's so good at her job that everyone calls her Smooth. There's not a problem she can't solve--that is until Andrew Lennox,
the new owner, storms into town.
As the head of Lennox Luxury Living, it's Andrew's job to make sure that every resort is running perfectly which means a hands-on inspection of his latest acquisition. When he arrives on the property, he realizes that the greatest asset is one Serena Smooth and he won't stop until he has her in his bed with his ring on her finger. She claims she's too busy, but he's determined to be the one wrinkle she can't smooth out.

Selena Smooth es quien lo arregla todo en el hotel con una sonrisa en la cara. Cuando una despedida de soltero se desmadra en el último piso, ella se encuentra con el hombre más atractivo que ha visto... Hasta que ella lo abofetea pensando que es el novio que intenta ligar con ella.
Andrew ha visto a su futura esposa y no va a dejarla ir por nada. Un bofetón no lo detendrá, una confusión tampoco y una abogada/madre despreciable mucho menos.
Ay, Ella Goode se ha convertido en una de mis autoras de libros cortos favorita junto con Alexa Riley.
Ella siempre escribe lo que ha mí me gusta como a mí me gusta, con cero drama, mucho amor (y sexo, guiño guiño) y final muy muy muuuuuuy feliz.
Me encantan este tipo de libros para pasar el rato entre lecturas horribles (como mi anterior) o libros largos.

He pasado de pensar que iba a perderlo todo por culpa de él a tenerlo todo con él.
Smooth kisses de Ella Goode libro 1 Serie Kiss
Mí humilde opinión:
Selena Smooth es feliz en el complejo de lujo Lennox Luxury Living, trabajando como directora de relaciones. Es buena en lo que hace y no hay nada que no pueda manejar, hasta que aparece el nuevo propietario del lugar.
Andrew llega a Lennox Luxury Living para controlar las cosas allí y para la despedida de soltero de su amigo.
La fiesta del alcohol está a todo lo alto cuando le presentan a la mujer que lleva el lugar a perfección, Selena Smooth.
Una mirada a ella y su mundo se tambalea porque ha conocido a su futura esposa.
Pero para ponerle un anillo en el dedo debe derribar todas las barreras de sus inseguridades sobre el amor...
Un librito corto sexy con muchos besos suaves.
Una mujer que quiere amor de verdad pero no cree que pueda tenerlo para ella y un hombre que actúa con todo el corazón.
Porque cuando lo sabes, lo sabes se dice...
Me gustó la pequeña historia de Smooth y Andrew. Aunque no tiene nada del otro mundo, se disfruta como todos los que he leído hasta ahora de EG.
Tiene una protagonista que se vale por si misma pero anhela encontrar amor aunque no cree en él. Me gustó Smooth la verdad. Y Andrew es que es tan lindo durante todo el libro, a mí me gustó que fuera tipo alfa pero ante ella se derrita de amor.
Tiene un final felices por siempre aunque extrañé el epílogo que es lo que espero en las historias de esta autora.
Ahora quiero saber que pasa con Violet, la colega de Smooth y el guardaespaldas de Andrew.

Can you fall in love at first sight? Can someone see you and know instantly that you are it for them. Andrew Lennox didn't but one look at Selena Smooth and this guy is stopped in his tracks. Now he just needs to convince his future wife (Selena) that she's is perfect other half.
Selena or Smooth as she is called, the nick name came because of ability to iron out any situation that arises. Doesn't matter what it is this girl will handle it with a smile. When she first meets Andrew she is totally thrown for a loop. A misunderstanding, a slapped face and a possible oh shit I'm going to lose my job moment. lol.
Once that is cleared up Andrew is her shadow. He's all over her. Selena though is resistant. She's happy here doing her job. It's home.
Andrew has his work cut out for him but he's not scared. He didn't get where he is without hard work and he's willing to do anything at all to secure Selena by his side forever.
Oh and Violet her best friend and work colleague I'm dying I want her and the Andrew's body-guards story!!!

"Smooth Kisses" is the story of Selena "Smooth" and Andrew.
Our heroine is the competent employee, managing a popular resort, whose life changes when her new boss arrives and falls for her. Ofcourse, they have minimal drama, bang like bunnies which is followed by a sweet HEA.
Average read, nothing special. I did like the heroine standing up for herself when the hero tries to boss her around, but she does gives in when he insists.
Safe
3/5

Good
I really enjoyed Smooth and Andrew’s story. I really liked Smooth. She was an independent woman, making her way in the hospitality business and loving her job. Andrew was a workaholic who had no time for love or relationships until his eyes landed on his wildflower. They got off to a rocky start but Andrew was determined to win his girl over and make her his forever.
Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow drama, mild om drama featuring two drunk guests that lasts about a page. Minor family drama. H’s past isn’t mentioned much but he didn’t do relationships and their was nothing online about any women. His bodyguard mentioned he doesn’t make a habit out of going after women. Nothing mentioned about ONS. h is a virgin. No abuse.

Smooth Kisses were exactly what they promised... smooth. I liked this story and its characters (even though the hero was often too high-handed for my taste).
July 10, 2019
Loved it! Andrew and "Smooth" have instant chemistry. I loved the hotel aspect of this story and there were some laugh out loud moments. Very romantic and I wish we had seen more of "Smooth" putting her mother in her place! Can't wait for Violets story!

*Contains SPOILERS* for SAFE readers…
Lennox and Selena
SAFETY remarks
- SAFE-ish
- I would say dual virgins
- cheating/sharing: no
- ow/om: no
- separation/breakups: no
- possible triggers: bad relationship with her mom, abusive (verbally) mother, wild bachelor’s party (a friend’s), she only wanting a fling
- HEA
It’s weird for me to not like an Ella Goode book. But this is the one. I would say that the H is untouched, which is awesome because it’s what I love in my romance books: DUAL VIRGINS. But why can’t I completely celebrate?
There secsy times are outdoors, especially the first ones, where anyone can pass by and see them. So, it’s kind of exhibitionist. And I didn’t like that he was looking for just a hook up with her boss nonetheless. And then there was the bachelor’s party, which included an orgy, and was hosted by the H (his friend was the groom).
This romance felt cheap to me. I’m sorry. I just didn’t feel good reading this one. And I’m a fan of her books and own several of them.

An OK story, not even judging for being so similar to others in this series but just overall execution.
Ella Goode is a great writer but not as good as Alexa Riley that I miss so much

2.5 ⭐️ this is the most insta lovey book i’ve ever read. if you’re looking for a light read that is basically porn with a mediocre plot this is for you. it definitely fulfilled its role as a smutty novella.

Lovely insta-love with that kind of dominant hero who sees his woman and knows right away he'll make her his forever.
The cute writing style sets the pace in such a way that the lightning speed of the relationship feels normal.
Smooth is a great female character. I loved her job at a holiday resort and her commitment to improving herself. Her visceral reaction to the hero, alongside a misunderstanding, is priceless. For once, she wants something for herself and feel that her needs are important too. Andrew is the perfect man to pamper her, show her pelasure, and offer her everything on a silver platter.
Before they get their sweet and hot paradise, though, he has to get through her trust issues. There's this back and forth between them that's funny and endearing. The cat and mouse game leads to a realization that they belong together, so when she accept his love, it's really sweet, steamy and has an epilogue full of bliss. Really, this resort is a place I'd love to visit! :-D
Also, Smooth's friend and co-worker, Violet, has a thing going on with a huge man that's fantastic, and I want to read the living daylights out of it!

Andrew excels professionally. Personally? That's a different thing, not that he's tried in a very long time. Visiting one of his newly acquired resorts while celebrating his friend's bachelor party, Andrew enjoys how smoothly things are handled, and realizes Selena, aka Smooth, is not only the person his exiting assistant, Anna, has marked as her replacement, but also the woman he wants to marry.
Selena keeps to herself while taking care of everyone else, a hard feat, but one she does well. When she takes on the task of looking in on a bachelor party, a misunderstanding leads to her and one of the men being at odds. Thankfully, Andrew quickly corrects it, relieving Selena, but also shocking her with a job offer.
Both lead somewhat solitary lives, albeit for different reasons, but Andrew realizes he has his work cut out for him in convincing Selena he wants forever with her. First, he must deal with her past that's unexpectedly resurfaced...and has a connection to him.
One-click now and follow along as two soulmates, both wanting to be together, must work through the obstacles in their way.

The couple: Andrew and Selena
Romance genre: insta-love
Series: Kisses
Length: 107 pages
Plot: Selena manages a resort hotel and is so good at her job that most everyone calls her by her last name, Smooth. When the new owner, Andrew, comes to visit, he instantly falls in love and is determined to make her his. Despite a couple of miscommunications and a terrible mother, their relationship looks like it will go...smoothly (sorry, sorry).
Commentary: What was her mother's deal? She was awful, and it seems like constantly changing husbands might make it difficult to focus on a career as a high-powered attorney. I loved that Andrew got rid of her the minute he realized who she was. The other thing I really liked? Andrew changing his name in Selena's phone to Smooth Operator. Funny! This was a sweet story, and while not my favorite of the series, still enjoyable.

2.5 ⭐
As much as i wanna love this book.. i had only one problem with it.. the god dang nickname of selena's.. i can't take it serious when everyone keeps calling her smooth.. cuz she can solve anything and it's her last name... but to have Andrew call her that allllllllll the time.. annoyed me.. i would have let him say baby or any nickname.. beside that mini blah this was a good book.. fast pace and interesting.
Selenaaaaaaa girl won my heart when she met Andrew and he flirted with her but a misunderstanding when she thought he was getting married and she cant stand cheaters so she slaps him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She regrets it later when he goes down to tell her the truth he doesn't want her thinking that of him.. and he already wants her. But she has walls build around her.. thanks to her jerk face mother.. but that doesn't stop him from his goal.
No cheating, no ow/om drama, slight tiny drama, sexy times, Secondary chara, virgin gal not a manwhore

Smooth is not just her last name, it is her way of life. Learning at an early age how to read people and get out of rough situations, Selena Smooth went into the hospitality industry. Now with a job in an amazing resort, she is right at home. With the sale of the resort to new owners, Smooth is determined to do her job impeccably no matter what. With a big group of high rolling men coming in to spend a week at the resort for a bachelor party, she goes to introduce herself in case they need anything. Little does she know that she is about to meet her future. Andrew Lennox came to the resort for two things; to try out his new acquisition and to recruit Selena to be his assistant. She is too good not to be in upper management. When he lays eyes on her, all of that changes. Now he will stop at nothing until his ring is on her finger and she is his and his alone.
I am such a fan of Ella Goode, her talent is phenomenal! She packs so much story, so much character development into her books that you don't want it to end. Selena and Andrew's connection, the banter and just everything made this reader giddy. I adored this story and I just have to say that the side characters of Violet and Sokolov need a book stat! Much love for Smooth Kisses!

This book is such a happy feel good book. Selena Smooth runs a tropical resort. She is also a workaholic.
Andrew Lennox is the new workaholic owner. He is also there for a bachelor party weekend.
What happens when Andrew knows Selena is his soulmate from the very first moment? Will Selena and Andrew find a happy medium? Or will life get in the way?
Give this book a read. There is funny parts, a few shocking parts. But most of all a sweet romantic read.

Smooth Kisses by Ella Goode is a insta-love feel good hit! It comes with a OTT hero Andrew and a sassy- sweet heroine Selena . The plotline is smooth, the chemistry between the main characters is sizzling hot, the story takes place in a pretty great place- Tropical Resort and the feels that occur from this novella is fantastic. Loved every moment!! I can't wait for Victor and Violet to get their book...

This was my first Ella Goode book. I've heard good things about this author on the Read Me Romance podcast. At least I think I found Ella Goode because of them. Who knows. Never mind. Anyways..
I didn't like this but I'm going to try out her other books.
It started out ok for me but then it dragged and I started skimming through it. It was a miss for me but I'm sure it will be a hit for someone else.

I really enjoyed this one. Andrew was a great hero who falls instantly in love with Serena, a stellar employee, while checking out his new resort. I loved the fact that Serena is a fully independent and accomplished heroine who is not in need of rescue, even if she is deeply vulnerable. Seeing the way Andrew was willing to make changes for Serena made my heart swoon.

I loved this insta love story! Smooth was a riot and I LOLd quite a few times with her. Andrew was just the right amount of OTT Alpha I love in this trope. There were some sweet moments to go with the heat & really enjoyed this one.
