Kissing the Rival - The Kissing Games #2 - by Kaylee Ryan (Charlotte and Spencer)



ABOUT THE BOOK

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.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book 2 in a series of 5 books by a different author for each book and its characters that are in a destination wedding in Florida that never takes place. In book 2 we get Charlotte and Spencer's story but we also get to see what happens the bridal party and its major characters.

The bridal book series stars
- Audrey who is the would be bride and she is Charlotte's younger sister. She is engaged and about to marry Lincoln.

- Charlotte is Audrey's older sister and her maid of honor at the wedding.
- Spencer is the best friend to Lincoln, the missing groom and his best man at the wedding. He has known Charlotte for 10 years and has crushed on her the entire time but she hates him. 

In addition at the wedding are Tyler, Lorelei, Jasper, Amara, Liam, Adeline and Decker.

- Jasper and Lorelei are married to each other (book 5)
- Decker is the bartender and he is into Adeline who is a bridesmaid and best friend to Audrey (book 4)
- Tyler is Amara's secret crush and Tyler is a friend of the groom and a groomsman (Book 3)
-Liam is the missing grooms brother and a groomsman (Book 1)
- Linc is the missing groom who spends a lot of time at work and who is Spencer's best friend and Liam's brother (Book 1)

Charlotte has not liked Spencer for ten years and she still hates him at the wedding but with some drinks at the bar after the wedding is called off, she ends up playing a kissing rating game with Spencer. Only after the wedding do they find out that they are going to working together and that's where the book gets so much fun. I loved how they teased each other and how she downgrades him, so he kisses more and tries to get higher scores. 

This is a fun, lighthearted romance between two people who were always meant for each other but who were rivals or frenemies and now find out they have to work together. In addition, they both realize that they had the wrong idea about other and start to open their hearts and minds to each other.

I loved this story so much. I loved how strong Charlie is and that she wants to be this total girl boss but on her own. I also loved Spencer because he always saw how special she was, but he also was her rival and made her work for every success.
