That First Kiss by J.C. Valentine

That First Kiss (Night Calls, #2)That First Kiss by J.C. Valentine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That First Kiss is a fun, sexy story full of humor and emotional ups and downs. Piper is in desperate need of a job, and after landing her last hope she goes out with the girls to celebrate. A few drinks and a hot and heavy encounter with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome later, Piper is ready to get serious about her new career. That is until she walks in on her first day to find her new boss is Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome.

I liked Piper a lot. She was strong willed, confident, stubborn and not afraid to tell off Tate when he got out of line. She knew what she wanted out of life and was not afraid to go after it. Tate was completely charming and sexy when he wanted to be and a complete jerk the rest of the time. He was demanding and kept everyone at a distance. But when you get them together, watch out! I loved the interactions between Tate and Piper. They had definite chemistry from first site. Their working relationship was obviously edgy as they tried to keep it professional – well, at least Piper tried to keep it professional. Of course, the incredible sexual tension between the two did not help her at all. Throughout the story their relationship was all over the place. One never knew from one scene to the next what the other would want – minds would change, feelings would get hurt, and then it would start all over again. It was too hard to keep track of it all. All you need to know to read the story is that it was a fun read.

I should mention that though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.  I did not read the first book and did not lose anything from the story because of it.  However, I am going to go back now and read it now just so I know Poppy and Felix's beginning! 

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
