Quirky and fun novella!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This was such a quirky, fun and enjoyable read. I really liked this story, even considering how short it was.

Jenna is a YA author who's publisher wants the main character in her books to experience her first kiss. Jenna wants to protect the character and thinks she's not ready but really it's Jenna who is not ready to move forward after being burned by her high school/college sweetheart.

Pushed into going out by her really appalling excuse for a friend (I absolutely loathed Lisbeth), she uses the night out to try and experience a first kiss so she can write about what it feels like. After trying to get a kiss from a guy with a girlfriend, she encounters Ben who finds the situation hilarious.

Assuming that Ben wants to get with Lisbeth, Jenna is lead into a series of events that she didn't expect, not realising that it was Jenna that Ben in fact wants. In the end, Jenna gets the answers to her research, Ben gets the girl and Lisbeth loses out for being in Ben's words...
"shallow and rude.... and probably the worst girlfriend on the planet".

I thought that Jenna was a wonderful character, with how clumsy and awkward she was. Ben was loveable, and it was great to have a man who sees through the gorgeous yet completely horrible friend. Lisbeth was just an ridiculous person, who blatantly puts Jenna down (in my opinion, trying to make herself feel better), and if she was a friend to mine I would have kicked her to the curb long ago.

This was such a feel good novella, that made me laugh and smile with its humour and fun. The perfect quick read :)

This is the best novella I've read in a long time! It's In His Kiss by Caitie Quinn is the perfect quick read. It has fun, witty banter, sexy guys, sweet scenes and laugh out loud lines. My only complaint is that it's not longer. I'm sure it would have been a bit much to keep this up in a full size novel, but it was over way too soon.

Jenna Jameson is nothing like her porn star counterpart. She is a writer of young adult books with very little personal experiences of her own. That's why when her editor tells her that her main character has to have her first kiss in this book Jenna panics. For one, she looks at these characters as her kids and she is so not ready for this. Secondly, she hasn't had a first kiss or any kiss for far longer than she wants to admit. How embarrassing is it to have to go out on a hunt for a first kiss, so she can write about it?

Ben is fascinated and terribly amused when he overhears Jenna asking a guy for a first kiss, for research purposes only, of course. As she stumbles and bumbles her way through the explanations Ben finds himself more and more interested.

This book is too cute! It's so fun to follow the path that Ben leads Jenna down to get her attention and to get the research information she needs, of course. I was so annoyed with the best friend and spent most of my reading swearing I was going to write a scathing review because of this friend. It all works out in the end, so I take back my bad thoughts.

You will not regret reading this book!

So much fun in a little package!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2012

This is a really fast read. Only 40 some pages, but I just loved it.

Ely is a writer of YA books. Her agent is pushing her to have her 16-year-old character from her series experience her first kiss. As Ely lives through her writing and has no experience herself, she calls on her friend to help her out.

Lisbeth is a hot looking siren, you know the type. All of the guys crowd around her vying for her attention as she preens and flirts, while you are brushed aside.

Ely doesn't care about all that. She just needs her advice on describing a young teens first kiss.

Lisbeth suggests they go to a nightclub to do research and what happens there is much more than Ely ever dreamed of.

I adored this story. Even if I had an idea where it was going, it still surprised and delighted me. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside and had a lot of laughs at Ely's expense. She's a good sport and puts up with a lot of crap from Lisbeth.

There are some hot guys in this and even though you don't get to know a lot about them, their personalities make you wish you did.

It was fun reading a story about a writer developing and researching her character and making her grow and mature. All writers should have fun with this short and sweet tale.

I give this 4 Kisses!

Freaking Hilarious! I need more, Caitie!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2014

I have found a new author to love! In her blurb for It's in His Kiss, Quinn warns, "...it might make you snort diet Coke out your nose." I took her at her word and kept my drink at a safe distance. Glad I did. This book was freaking hilarious! I sat and read and chuckled and then howled with laughter until I was gasping for breath and my sides were hurting...but I continued...I am such a masochist.
Jenna Jameson (not THAT one) is a successful young adult author who has a problem. She needs to 'mature' her popular teenage character by having her experience her first kiss. Jenna is in a panic. She doesn't think she can (or wants) to write about those 'first kiss' feelings. So, she enlists the help of her friend, Lisbeth who has PLENTY of experience in this area. I thought I would love Lisbeth at first. Who doesn't like to read about an over-the-top best friend. I quickly discovered that she is a first class beatch!. And, she's not even the kind you can sort of tolerate, the bold, brash, what-you-see-is-what-you-get girl but the sly, sneaky, don't-turn-your-back-or-you-will-find-a-knife-in-it kind of hussy. Lisbeth, being the good friend she is (NOT) forces Jenna to a bar for some 'research' and finds a man for Jenna to 'research' with. What follows is one of those reads I long for...infuriating (because of Lisbeth) uproariously funny (because of Jenna and her reaction to the situations she finds herself in) and heartwarming (just because-don't want to give too much away).
There is only one problem I have with Caitie Quinn's writing. She doesn't write fast enough! I need more, more, more of her work!

Very quick read about an up an coming writer wanting to write about dating. In order to do some research she goes out and takes along her so called hot friend to show her the ropes. This so called friend is shallow and likes all the attention and during this experiment her eyes are totally opened to the kind of friend she is and how she has been so used to making herself invisible that she does not see herself. Will this story end how the way it usually does for her when the hot guy passes her by???

Short story..this is how you research a first kiss...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 19, 2013

Hmm there seems to be a common theme with this short story and the novella The Last Single Girl . The plain jane with the beautiful, yet ugly on the inside friend, coming out on top for once.
Once again Quinn demonstrates her ability to mix humour, warmth and a bit of spicy underlying good ol' animalistic attraction.
The main character is a YA author doing research for her novel and the initial conversation with her agent is Quinn having a little fun and poke at authors in general.
As a reader you feel like pushing the main character and cheering her on. That is also something I have noticed about this author and her particular flair. She draws you in and it feels as if you are there watching events unfold from, the sidelines.
A feel good story for some stolen moments in between.

3.5 Stars for this one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 22, 2015

From the description and reviews I expected this to be an entertaining short story. However, unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be as amusing as I'd anticipated. The storyline didn't follow the path that I'd expected it to take, which is fair enough of course. In fact somewhere in the middle I wondered what on earth was going on, as there was a (what seemed to me) bizarre turn of events, and I wondered if Jenna was having a hallucination or something. Jenna ended up with a happy ending though, so that was a real point in the story's favour.

All in all it was an ok read to pass the time, but I won't be rushing to read the rest of the series.

Loved this short read from Bria Quinlan, and I'll be reading more of her books from now on. I felt so much empathy for the main character, and was rooting for her all the way. I wasn't expecting the abrupt ending, though the book had been advertised as a short prequel to the series, so I wasn't disappointed. Really well-written and a great story!
