Sometimes you just need books that are light and fun. They leave you smiling once you’re done. I’ve had that happen so far with Kiss Me Not and Kiss Me Tonight. This author has a way with words and I really enjoyed both of these. The third and final book in the trilogy, Kiss Me Again, is now available. Was it just as fun? Keep on reading to find out!
Also, a big thanks to the author and Social Butterfly PR for providing me with an ARC to read and review.
WANTED: ROOMMATE. Must be tidy, polite, and absolutely not my brother’s hot as sin best friend.
Kiss Me Again, an all-new hilarious brother’s best friend standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!
I have no idea why I said yes.
Maybe I’d had one too many wines. Maybe I’d done it accidentally. Maybe I’d been sleep-texting.
One thing I know for sure is this: I absolutely do not want Ethan Hawkins in my apartment, up in my business, taking over my space.
Yet he’s here. Moving his stuff into my spare bedroom. Sending a wave of panty-melting, musky man-scent my way every time he walks past me.
Here’s the thing.
We don’t get along—at all. We never have, and I don’t think we’re going to start now that we’re under one roof.
There’s also that little issue where I’m kinda, sorta, totally in love with him…
Uh-oh.

Review
I’m sad to say that this trilogy didn’t end on a high note like it started. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy Kiss Me Again, but I couldn’t connect with Ava. Honestly, she annoyed me just about through the whole entire story. I loved the romance, Ethan was a fun character, but it was just missing something for me.
Ava has had a crush on Ethan for quite a few years, but this has kind of turned into hate, because Ethan is her brother’s best friend. I did like this awkward situation. It’s fun seeing her try to be upset with him, when that’s far from the truth.
Ethan isn’t one to settle in one place, but staying with Ava for awhile wasn’t what he pictured. I enjoyed Ethan’s character. He seems pretty easygoing and works hard. He also scored points with me by having a pet hedgehog. Not something I see often in books. I have to say I would’ve liked more chapters from Ethan’s POV. I couldn’t completely connect with him, because I didn’t feel like I knew him.
Ava and Ethan pranking each other was definitely funny and it was interesting to see what they would do next. My favorite part about this was asking the other’s sibling what they could do to annoy the other. It was clear they had a soft spot for each other, it just took them awhile to admit it.
All in all, this trilogy was a lot of fun. If you’re looking for feelgood books that leave a smile on your face, definitely pick these up. Also, we get to read about the characters we met and loved during the first two books. The raccoons are still may favorite! I can’t wait to see what this author does next.
Excerpt
I shoved the front door open and set my gaze on Ethan on the sofa. “If you’re going to lie to me about living here, we’re going to have to set some hard and fast rules. The first one: the stinky, spiky pig lives in your bedroom.”
He peered over at me, one hand in a bag of cheese Doritos and the other tickling the hedgehog who was now lying on his chest.
It was quite the sight.
“How do you know he stinks?” he asked, licking his fingers and cradling the animal before he put the chip packet on the coffee table.
“I Googled. They need cleaning every day. I’m not doing it, and neither am I living in a smell of tiny animal who should be wild.”
“He’s a pygmy hedgehog. He’s bred to be domesticated.”
“His spiky bits could be made out of solid gold and I wouldn’t give a shit.” I put my purse on the island and looked at him. “You can send me Google links to them if it pleases His Highness, but my stance won’t change. That animal is not living in my living room, and I’d rather you didn’t snuggle with him on the sofa.”
“It’s ironic,” Ethan mused. “I have a hedgehog on my chest, and you’re still the prickliest thing in this apartment.”
“If I wasn’t staunchly against animal cruelty, I’d throw a saucepan at you.”
“You can still hit me over the head with it.”
“I was talking about you, not the hedgehog, you pig.”
“May I say that you are an absolute fucking delight, Ava. I can’t imagine why you’re still single.”
“Probably the same reason you are. The asshole gene is strong as fuck and not all that attractive.”

I don’t usually read hate-to-love (or maybe annoyance-to-love?) stories, but I really loved the dialogue you quoted here.

Like I said, this was my least favorite of the three, but all of them are like this. Not all enemies to lovers, but the banter is fun!
