Kiss Me Once, Kiss Me Twice

Rating:
Summary: Sexy and hysterical!
Review: I like Kimberly Raye, so I figured I would like this book. No way was I prepared to laugh my head off! It was great. Super sexy and so funny, but emotional, as well. I fell in love with Clint. He was such a strong guy, but at the same time he came across as very real. I liked the book so much that it made me want to tune into a Nascar race. If only all the drivers were half as hot as Clint MacAllister! Skye is funny and sweet and I totally related to her. I didn't think I would because her profession is so far out, but she's like any of us girls--insecure and very real with hopes and dreams. I can't wait to read about her two sisters!

Summary: HEAT AND HUMOR
Review: I love a romance with a sexy premise that really delivers the heat. And what could be sexier than a heroine whose mission is to teach women how to reach their sensual potential? Add a hot hero, and the pages sizzle. The humor in Ms. Raye's novel is the proverbial cherry-on-top. Skye and Clint are compelling main characters, and I just know that Skye's two sisters will have to have their own stories.

Summary: Funny, hot, but also a heart of gold
Review: I loved this book! Kimberly Raye makes you care about her characters and makes unusual situations like the heroine having a mother who is a TV sex therapist absolutely believable. For sheer fun and entertainment, Kiss Me Once is hard to beat. But what appealed to me the most was the solid gold heart of this novel--really interesting insights about what creates the best foundation for a long-term relationship. Is it really sex? Or values? or Common interests? Wild animal attraction? Love and caring? Between the covers of this sexy little romp, little ahas about how relationships grow between men and women, how we figure out what we really want out of life, and how love changes us are carefully woven into the story. Trust me, you'll laugh, you'll get turned on, you'll fall for this hero, and you'll walk away thinking about what means the most to you in a relationship.

Summary: HEAT AND HUMOR
Review: Skye Farrel grew up with her two younger sisters in a household in which the topic sex was not hidden as their mother led the social revolution that women do not need a man to be complete. Their mother has never married their father though they have been together for over three decades. Thus it is not shocking to find Skye providing sex seminars starring Dinah the Vagina and a rubber penis.

Skye agrees to be the maid of honor at her assistant's wedding though she herself does not believe in the institution. At the affair she meets retired NASCAR hunk, Clint MacAllister. Though he believes that Skye is after his banana, he rejects her because he plans to marry someone else. However, as Skye and Clint become more familiar with one another both reconsider their previous positions and now they want his banana and her cherry married, but must persuade the other that their respective fruit is passion.

Though the number of puns, innuendos and double entendres would make Piers Anthony take notice, fans of amusing contemporary romances will appreciate this tongue in cheek look at the gender wars. The story line never takes itself seriously regardless of who plays top banana at the moment. The lead protagonists are a fun duet rejecting the idea of either marriage or marriage with one another although love enters the dysfunctional relationship. KISS ME ONCE, KISS ME TWICE provides an offbeat look at sex, love, and marriage. And hopefully will have sequels including a flashback to the parents' tale staring in the 1960s (let's see the rocket ship and the moon as phallic symbols?).
