Kiss the Girl (Soho Loft Romance)
Sleeping with the enemy has never been so complicated. Twenty-eight-year-old Brooklyn Campbell is having a bad day. A speeding ticket, a towed car, and a broken heel are all working against her laid-back vibe. To top it all off, her birth mother, whom she's never met, has requested contact. The only bright spot is an impromptu date with a beautiful and mysterious brunette. Jessica Lennox is what you would call a high-powered executive. She's the head of a multimillion-dollar advertising firm in New York City, and it didn't happen by accident. But when the blonde head turner from the wine bistro turns out to be her number one competitor, her life gets infinitely more complex. Is New York big enough for both Brooklyn and Jessica? Maybe it's just time they experienced it together...

Ok, I would rate this one probably 3.75. I know, that's sort of picky, right?
Here's the deal... I loved the characters of Brooklyn and Jessica - particularly when they're together. But there were a couple of things that kept yanking me out of the book: The group of friends speak in such a similar way (ie word choice, speech patterns and cadence) that without diaglogue tags, it would be tough to tell them apart when they're chatting as a unit. There were a couple of times when this carried over onto the nearly 40 year old Jessica, too. The other thing that was distracting was the sudden POV changes between Brooklyn and Jess. There were several times when I had to backtrack a paragraph or so to figure out who's head I was in because I thought I missed something. Once I figured out that this was going to keep happening, it didn't bother me as much but if you're someone who has a tough time with that sort of thing, be prepared.
I didn't notice either of these issues too much in the second half of the book. Brooklyn is dealing with more serious issues and we get to see a more mature, serious side of her - which I loved.
All in all, I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet romance, mixed with a lot of witty humor and some pretty serious story arcs. I couldn't help but love the couple at the center of the story and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
