Her car is towed, she breaks her shoe, and her birth mother is requesting contact with her. In spite of all this, things are looking up for Brooklyn because she has met the most beautiful woman ever. However, when Brooklyn finds out that this woman is Jessica Lennox, head of a large advertising firm, and that she and Jessica are competing for the same client?s contract, her life becomes increasingly complicated. How will Brooklyn be able to balance her desire for Jessica with her desire for this contract?<\/p>\n<p>This romance novel delivers both steamy romantic scenes and character development. As Brooklyn and Jessica compete for the same ad contract, the book also provides plenty of drama and plot development beyond the basic love story. Kiss the Girl would be an excellent addition to a public library?s romance collection.<\/p>\n<p>___________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Jenni Frencham, Librarian<br \/>\nCesar Chavez Middle School, Hayward (CA) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brayden, Melissa.
