Synopsis:
Mercurial and charming, Tate Larson is a rising author and playboy who has a
different woman on his arm every night of the week. Focused on his work, Tate
has no plans to settle down anytime soon. That is until he meets his pretty
new assistant, Piper Donovan.
Desperate to escape the promise of backwater living, Piper ditched her Alabama
hometown and never looked back. That was almost two years ago. Now that she is
out of a job and her bank account is running on fumes, she’s desperate to find
a job, fast. She finds the break she is searching for when she lands a position
at Bookish Temptations. A little dancing and a lot of drinks with the girls
seem the perfect way to celebrate. After a brief but explosive encounter with a
man she was never supposed to see again turns out to be the same man she will
be bending over backwards to please, her every instinct tells her to run. But
when running means leaving the life she has struggled so hard to create, Piper
decides her only option is to continue working for the devastatingly sexy Tate
Larson...even if it kills her.
Unable to deny their growing attraction, they struggle to keep their distance
in a relationship that requires anything but.
About The Author:
Brandi Salazar started writing poetry,
short stories, and novels at a very young age, weaving tales to share with her
friends that were geared toward making them laugh. Today her writing habits
reflect that, ranging from mystery/suspense/thriller to paranormal and YA
romance, and no matter how different her works may be, you can always find a
healthy dose of action, romance, and humor. Under the pen name J.C. Valentine,
she also writes erotic romance fiction.
A longtime resident of Ohio, Brandi lives with her husband, three children, a
dog and five cats that keep her very busy. She holds a degree in Business and
has plans to continue her education so she can one day become an editor to
authors everywhere. When she isn’t crafting her next novel, toiling away at
schoolwork, or hanging out with family, you can find her curled up in her
favorite chair with her nose buried in a book.
My View: While romance is not one of my most read genre, I must say that That First Kiss grabbed me from page one through the end. Taking only a couple of hours for me to read, as I was so emotionally pulled into the story. Both Tate and Piper have qualities that remind you of a certain someone. We all, I believe, have felt the passion and the turmoil of staying away or not. That is what made this book exceptionally easy for me to be pulled into.
I must warn you, when you decide to start reading this novel, be sure to leave yourself time. You will probably read it from beginning to end without even realizing it.
