In the past, I have heard excellent things about this book series, but I never go around to reading. It’s safe to say, I regret that majorly now.

After the Kiss centers on Julia Greene and Mitchell Forbes. Julia works as a writer at a major women’s magazine. Her specialty is writing stories that involve flings, first dates, and first kisses. Not what happens after. Well, that was until her boss assigned her a story that requires her to give a first-person account of what happens next.

Mitchell Forbes is a workaholic who has a habit of staying in relationships far too long. Which would be good for Julia, but unbeknownst to her, Mitchell makes a bet with a friend to find a woman and end it before getting too close.

After the Kiss was a delightful, superb read. Perfect for the big screen. It’s sort of like How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days. It’s funny, smart, and romantic. And the characters have off-chart chemistry. It was such a shame that the book was so short. It’s an overall great time, with great characters (including supporting) and an overall great story.

I loved both Julia and Mitchell. There was such great banter and wit with them. The miscommunication was not annoying or overplayed. It’s truly a swoon-worthy relationship with them. And I loved watching them realize that their relationship was much more to them than a story or a bet.

I’m looking forward to continuing their story as I continue with the story. I can’t get enough of them. I also loved the friendship between Julia, Grace, and Riley. And it’s so exciting that the next books in the series are toward within their POVs.

Final Analysis

After the Kiss is an entertaining and great start to the Sex, Love & Stiletto series.
