Charlotte
I’m not just kissing the rival… I’m falling for him.
Spencer Pennington has always been a shameless flirt, but when it came to being the best in our MBA program, all bets were off, and the competition was on.
Fast-forward a few years, and all it takes is a bar at a failed wedding and my silly kiss-rating system to lock lips with the enemy. Cocky as ever, Spencer claims he’s a ten and kisses me to prove it. I kiss him back to scratch an old itch, not expecting to like it.
Which is a huge problem, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tattooed from grad school is my new boss. And I want to kiss him again and again. Even if I only gave him a four.
Spencer
Charlotte Krause could be the perfect girl, if she didn’t hate me so much. I’m unsure if it was just me or guys in general, but she had this stuck-up, all-work-no-play vibe about her in college.
Imagine my surprise when I find her at the resort bar rating kisses like it’s her job. This carefree woman is nothing like the focused girl who turned me down at freshman orientation. And every time after that.
When I promise her I’m a ten, I see that competitive spark light in her ocean-blue eyes. There she is. She might have kissed me to prove me wrong, but I know I’m right about one thing.
She feels the spark too. There’s just one problem. It turns out her actual job is working for me.
Renee’s Four Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Charlotte is a really smart student. However she has some competition in Spence Pennington. He might be a huge flirt but he too is really smart and one of them has to be the best in the MBA program. However she never expected that one day at a failed wedding she would be kissing the enemy and really liking it too. After all since everything seems to be a competition with them and he claims to be a ten in the kissing department a girl has to find a way to be proven that a ten is indeed what he is. Now she has just kissed her boss and things got a whole lot more complicated in Charlotte’s book than she ever expected them to be. Spencer though knows that she would be the perfect girl for him if she only didn’t hate him so much. When he finds her at the bar rating kisses like she is a pro. She is nothing like he remembers from the girl in college that turned him down over and over again. He knows she kissed him to know if he was a ten really, but he also is convinced that she felt the same sparks he felt flying when their lips touched. Can these two ever work things out or are the destined to miss possibly something great that could have been. This was a very entertaining sweet little story. I really loved the characters and the story they had to tell.
