"Just One Kiss is my favorite story in the series so far. Barbara Freethy has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put it down. I loved every page. Just One Kiss is a second chance at first love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments." Patti - Goodreads

Hannah Stark takes care of everyone else, from the patients she nurses back to health, to her family, who can never seem to get it together. She'd love to find someone she can trust, someone she can lean on, someone she can love, but that someone will not be Jake McKenna. The ruggedly attractive owner of Adventure Sports might still make her palms sweat, but Jake broke her teenage heart years ago.

In the twelve plus years since they were a couple, Jake has given up on forgiveness from Hannah. He'd really like the chance to set the record straight, but that would mean revealing secrets he has sworn to protect. So, they dance around each other, never getting close enough to the lingering sparks to start another fire.

A stormy Christmas eve at the lake changes everything. A woman in trouble and a death-defying rescue gives them a chance to start over as they are now—if they can find the courage to trust each other. Will these two enemies turn into lovers, or will they reject the fate that has once again thrown them together?

Don't miss this heartwarming, irresistibly romantic holiday Christmas romance by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy.

Did not finish

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

So many things with this book. 1) it was boring. 2) I'm 70% through and we don't know why he cheated on her as a teenager other than to be told he was young and did things wrong. 3) everyone has unresolved relationships - frankly they are all dysfunctional - she doesn't trust her mom to be responsible even though her mom has been sober for 4 years, he has issues with his dad, which again 70% through and we don't know what they are. I suspect the father had something to do with the cheating, but I'm not interested enough to keep reading. 4) It's repetitive. Either she likes him, hates him, loves him. Personally I don't care that he was a teenager, I'm in the once a cheater, always a cheater side. 5) then we have the brother with leukemia, the sister who left home, got married, had a baby, widowed and now new boyfriend is dead and she's on the run after leaving her child ALONE. I mean it has the elements to be a good story, but it just does not do anything for me at all. Did I say it was boring? Repetitive and boring?

I re read the first 3 books to be ready for this one and I was so happy reading this one.

Whisper Lake seems to be a small town that has lots of high school friends that either stayed around or have come back for one reason or another.

Hannah is a nurse who has not had an easy past. She had to take care of her younger brother and her mother after the family lost their dad and oldest child. their sister. Time has gone on and now for the most part Hannah just has her mom to take care of now. She was never able to get over losing her husband and their daughter disappearing shortly after.

Jake was Hannah's high school boyfriend, the one all firsts were done with and now that they are both back in town Jake has been trying to get Hannah to date him again. Hannah has no interest in doing that after all the pain he caused her.

However when a little boy needs them to get over themselves they do. What follows is my favorite book in the series so far.

Where as I mentioned I re read the first three books in the series you do not have to but I recommend so you know the people in town.

Very much enjoyed!

This was such a tense story line! Hannah & Jake started their romance in high school… but unforeseen circumstances and misunderstandings separate them for many years! However, in the end all that mattered was that their love for each other never, ever died! Jake & his Dad, Hannah & Kelly ( their Mom) had a lot of forgiveness that had to happen! The truth, no matter how devastating it seems, needs to be at the forefront of any relationship! That was a lesson that needed to be learned by all! All it took for Jake & Hannah was, one kiss!

I don't think Barbara Freethy could write a loser if she tried...this book is sure to please even the hard to please reader. It is so realistic that the reader feels like they are reading about real people ...once I started reading I could not stop until the last word....

Just ok. Lots of repetition.
Could not connect with either of the leads.
Neither Hannah or Jake are likeable - although the author has given Hannah the tragic background, the responsible disposition etc and Jake is the ultimate repentant alpha

The whole suspense with Hannah's sister - just blooms and bursts towards the end to tie up the loose ends

Restoring Love and Trust

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

Barbara Freethy always creates beautiful love stories. just One Kiss is no exception. The characters become people we care about. There is also the presence of danger. My biggest gripe is that very few 17 year olds have a forever love. This plot device works here, but for me is unrealistic. Still, this was a very enjoyable read.
