Kissing Games (Kissing Creek, 2)

I came across this book at random and immediately, after reading the blurb, wanted to pick it up. It turned out to be such a lovely story, exactly what I needed to get my mind off things. It definitely helped that the male protagonist, Ryan, is a baseball player (I got a sweet spot for sports romances). Currently wallowing in self-pity since he‘s missing the playoffs due to an injury, he decided to visit his family in the small town of Kissing Creek. It would seem nothing‘s out of the ordinary, but the town‘s book club has picked up a spicy read that‘s keeping everyone awake. So Ryan confronts the librarian and person responsible for this month’s choice, Sloane - and oh boy, the banter and chemistry, you guys. I just love these two. In the beginning, they do not really like each other, but you can tell there‘s just something in the air. „Kissing Games“ is such a lighthearted novel with incredibly loveable characters, and I don‘t mean just the protagonists. It‘s not just your regular rom-com; this book is so refreshing. While I say lighthearted, it still brings a lot of depth and positivity to it. The writing and split narrative indeed add to this, giving us an insightful view of the characters and plot. [While I received an eARC through Grey's Promotions, this is my honest opinion.]
