Smooch
Alternate cover edition of ASIN: B08LR1TBM2
One night. No names. No rules. Just fun.
Meant as revenge against my ex-boyfriend,
And it was hands down the most physical and best night of my life.
So, imagine my surprise when my one-night stand shows up at my workplace the following Monday, greets me by name, and asks for my number, adamant that fate is bringing us together.
Of course, I refuse. I’m not looking for love, but within minutes I’m somehow shaking hands and agreeing to a convoluted blind date deal with Chett Hayes, my ridiculously nice, and very… gifted, one-night stand.
Oh, and four other men.
Four blind dates and a date with Chett after each one. That’s his deal.
Choose Chett in the end and live happily ever after with apparently the new love of my life, or don’t and never hear from him again.
The way I see it, this is a win-win for me,
Until things start to get blurry and the rules are broken.
Rules that were meant to keep my heart from breaking all over again.
Maybe I’m right and I’m just not meant for a happily ever after,
or maybe Chett Hayes was right all along and fate is real, and love is worth fighting for

This book was the romcom I needed! I laughed so hard I snorted. Not only are the main characters amazing, but the side characters are perfect. This book is a definite pick me up.

Five sensational stars....
Omg so I've just finished❤🖤
I had a house guest last night and today whom I've rudely ignored while I've had my head buried in my kindle *don't worry she's my late mothers bestie who comes to see the kids, she forgives me*
While very rudely ignoring her I've done some very unlady like laughing out loud, almost peed myself*thanks kids* and woken the youngest🤯😂.
I was soooooo sucked in I didn't want to put it down to go to sleep let alone communicate with anyone. And then I get to the end... 😍 I didn't continue reading that would be the most awful torture but I'm so effing happy there will be another... So Susan I didn't like this book... I bloody loved it! And I've convinced the house guest to pick up hole punched *my first read by you* on KU so she can enjoy your amazing writing too ❤🖤

“Then I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas gift and I’ll have someone to kiss on New Year’s Eve.”
This is my third book that I’ve read from Susan and boy did this book keep me laughing! I’ve been in a book rut here lately and this book has made my day! This is a light hearted Rom-Com that i greatly enjoyed. It’s filled with laughter, and so much more.
Arya is a young woman who has been dealt a raw hand when it comes to the men in her life. First her father walks out on her and then her boyfriend betrays her, needless to say she is done with men. She just wants a good time right now man because anything longer than that leads to heartbreak. Nothing and no one will change her mind on that stance, after all if she wasn’t good enough for her father to stay around why would anyone else stick around?
Chett is a guy who just wants what his parents have. A strong, happy marriage filled with family. He wants that special someone to come home to, he wants warm snuggles by the fire, he wants countless nights watching movies and making homemade pizzas. What he doesn’t want, he doesn’t want a night filled with nameless women, he wants his woman. He wants to find that special woman who will complete him.
One night changes everything for them both.
I cannot express my feelings for this author’s books enough. She is a talented author and i have enjoyed those of her books I’ve had the honor to read. Her books keep us entertained while showing us what a love that is fought for is worth...that kind of love is priceless...as are her books...

LOVED, loved. Sweet, funny, quotable with steam. Really loved this! Everyone should be blessed by a Chett and friends as wonderful and wonderfully funny as Smooches!
I didn't realize this was by the same author as Holepunched when I started it, so glad I came across it. Holepunched is hot and hilarious.
This definitely won't be the last book I read of Renee's.

Hilariously sweet
This is a laugh out loud romance that I could not put down! The banter between not only the main characters but the secondary characters was absolutely fantastic! The story was a fun place to get lost in. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series

Quick read and a cute story! Chapter 1 dove right in and the rest of the book kept me reading until I finished. Chett is FINE and I love how Arya joked around with him. They had chemistry that was woven throughout the story and I enjoyed all the other characters. Hopefully Kim gets her own story down the line. Another wonderful piece of writing by Susan Renee.

Smooch = Swoon!!!
I really enjoyed this story with laugh out loud moments and so much swoon!!! Chett is just amazing 😍. Just what I needed to forget, if only for a little while, 2020.
Thank you Susan Renee for the distraction!

I needed this laugh! Trust me, if you need a belly hurting, laugh out loud RomCom, Smooch is definitely for you! In true Susan Renee fashion expect a fast paced and fun read, you won't want to put this one down.

I was given this book as an ARC. If you are looking for a book to give you several good laughs, this is the book. Smooch was entertaining to read. The characters really worked well together and made the story flow easily. I think this is Susan Renee’s best book, yet! Check Smooch out!

Swoon!
This book made me laugh out loud and swoon. The story moved right along and I loved it! Araya and Chett were put together by fate-steam, laughs and and ending was perfect.

[1.5 star] i'm kind of on the fence about this book. i don't particularly like it but it is also not that terrible that i hate it.
i feel that there was a few repetitive things, like the heroine's ex cheating ways. it was repeated quite a few times he cheated and not only once but eight times. ok, the readers know her ex cheated eight time, no need to repeat it like we are dumb.
also, the inner thoughts or comments was kind of annoying to me. feels like they keep talking to themselves with this inner thoughts.

Love it!
This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the start. And let me tell you, it started out with a bang. (Literally, lol) Arya goes out with her friends, to get her mind off her cheating ex. And decides to have a one night revenge sex. What she doesn’t count on is that he will come walking into her workplace. I just fell in love with these characters. Arya is so relatable, in that she has the same fears that most of us have. And that makes her hold herself and her feelings back from Chett. And Chett, he is just the perfect guy. He’s patient, and understanding. He’s sweet, and allows Arya to take her time and choose what she wants. He doesn’t push her, or force her. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author. This book was a super fast read, and I definitely recommend it.

Comedy romance gold!!!
Smooch has it all! The perfect mix of comedy, romance, steamy scenes and drama. Arya is a relatable character with a close net group of friends, and Chett is the typical hot and funny all American boy. I love that this book dove right in with the main plot and then took us along for the ride of character development. This is totally one I played out in my head as an on screen romantic comedy. I laughed out loud at many points in this book, also pay attention to the chapter titles those are gold! If you like a feel good book that will have you laughing and smiling then this is a smooch you don't want to miss!

You won't regret picking up this endlessly funny romcom
There is so much to say about this book I don't even know where to start!
From reading the blurb, I have to admit I wasn't sold, however, I follow author Susan Renee on tik tok and her teasers are everything! And I am so glad I stepped away from my normal trope preferences to give this one a try!
From accidently telling her one night stands twin sister all about his amazing... Shall we call it sweet oblivion... To a first date that ended with a cemetery, cat ashes, and running away, this book will have you rooting for Chett and Arya and laughing the whole way through.

If you love a good romantic comedy look no further. Susan Renee hit the rom com sweet spot with this one. It’s got all the things: relatable characters, comedy, and the spice.
I was invested almost immediately and the things that happen will have you laughing hysterically while also falling in live with all the characters. So far this is my favorite book by this author and I cannot wait for the rest of the series. Read this I promise you won’t regret it.

Of of the funniest books I have had the chance to read this fall!
There are so many witty things thrown around in this book, I wish I could remember them all in my time of need! It was a fast paced, great friendships, try things out even if you don't want to, and little drama thrown in for good measure kind of story. Susan did a great job grabbing my interest very early on and continued to build the anticipation until the very end!

Oh my gosh this book was everything! It was so funny, I was laughing out loud. Chett was so swoony. The friend group was amazing and hilarious and loving. The writing and banter was fast paced and had me turning the pages so fast I read it in one sitting.
I only happened upon this book by an Instagram ad and man am I glad I did! I can’t wait to jump into more of Susan’s books 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Buy this book for a laugh out loud, steamy, butterflies-in-your-belly read! Highly recommend

Good
This was a fun read. The plotbif her having to date other guys to be sure about Chett was flimsy. I wish she would of liked at least one if those guys so we could have got some actual drama rather that the typical misunderstanding that leads to a temporary separation that we see so often. All that said though this was a funny, easy read. I didn't like it as much as I liked the 2nd book in this series but still recommend it.

Fast burn, slow burn
This book is both a fast and slow burn with characters that make you feel like you are hanging out with your own best friends. If you are looking for a feel good book that would be fun to read wrapped in a blanket with a cup of coffee, this is it. Actually, it would be *nice* to read this book anywhere.

Another adorable but spicy story
The characters are likable and the plot has some unexpected twists. The BFFs are enviable. Doesn’t everyone want a group of friends to support and care about them? If so you will enjoy these stories.

Such a good read and so hard to put down when having to go back to real life!! I wanted to jump in and shake the characters to get them to see what was going on but definitely a good, quick and fun romance!

This book was hilarious! It was also really sweet in places but mostly it was hilarious. It’s the first book I’ve read from this author but it certainly won’t be my last. A light hearted story that I believe everyone would enjoy and I’m already looking forward to re-read.
