A review by my_introvert_bookishlife
Kiss Me Slow by Louise Bay, Willow Winters, Tijan, Amelia Wilde
5.0
Kiss Me Slow is a collection of previously published full length stories by 4 Best Selling Romance Authors including a trilogy.
No cliffhangers.
That’s 6 full length stories!!
Tijan- Ryan’s Bed
Corrine Michaels- We Own Tonight
Willow Winters- The Irresistible Attraction Trilogy ( A Single Glance, A Single Kiss and A Single Touch)
Louise Bay- King of Wall Street
I’ve only read the Willow Winters’ Irresistible Attraction trilogy previously, had a Ryan’s Bed by Tijan on my TBR short list, Corrine Michaels as a must read author, and Louise Bay whom I’ve read previously and enjoyed but not yet read King of Wall Street.
All in all this collection is nothing less than a stellar 5 star on each authors merit. Still I read each story, and even reread the Irresistible Attraction series.
***********
Ryan’s Bed by Tijan 5 HEART WRENCHING STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I’d always thought I was going crazy, but when I woke that morning in Ryan’s arms, I felt a little less crazy. I felt a little bit better. And I felt a little more whole.”
Ryan and Mac took me on an emotional journey that I wasn’t sure my heart wasn’t ready for. As always Tijan writes her characters so intricately with so much depth and an emotional rawness that grips you.
It’s not all claw your heart out but how she writes about grief and loss is harrowing but yet still beautiful with deep seated understanding and sensitivity. This story will leave an emotional imprint on my heart, both Mackenzie and Ryan two unforgettable Tijan characters.
We Own Tonight by Corrine Michaels 4.5 EMOTIONAL STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
“We can’t worry about tomorrow, we can only own tonight. And tonight, I’m going to make sure you never forget how good we are. When you want to run away, I want this to be what you remember.”
I was swept about by this story, it started out fun and light then got all hot and steamy, then came the angst and the tears flowed like a burst damn! This story is everything and that plot twist had me teetering over the edge, but all in all so beautiful and well written. Rockstar come down to earth kind of romance with characters being more of a mature age Heather and Eli will own your heart.
Irresistible Attraction trilogy by Willow Winters 5 FIERY STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Single Glance: “There are moments in time, pauses in your reality, where you realize this instant will be a memory forever. Something that will never leave you. I’ll remember this one forever.”
A Single Kiss: “The only known in my life I need, is you beside me. As long as I have
you, nothing else matters.”
A Single Touch: “These moments are never forgotten.
That’s only with a single glance. I can tell you what a single touch will do. It will consume you and everything you thought you knew. I felt all of this with Jase Cross, with every flicker of the flames that roared inside of me. I knew he’d be my downfall, and I was determined to be his just the same.”
I love this series and book world to no end. Willow Winters writes full on sexy, emotional, suspenseful, edge of your seat gripping mafia romance. Jase Cross is alpha and comes with his own intensity that the Cross brothers and the men in the Merciless world is branded for. Bethany is no push over, she’s a girl on a mission and will stop at nothing to find out about her sister’s death, even bargaining with the devil himself. This one of Willow’s best writing and it only get better. Be very thankful that this is a complete trilogy because I died a thousand deaths while read this as each book was released. EPIC, OUTSTANDING and PHENOMENAL writing by an author I highly recommend to every romance reader.
King of Wall Street by Louise Bay
4 SWOONY STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“In that moment we were joined; we were connected; we were inseparable.”
After and all out emotionally charged read this book was refreshing and low on the angst. Louise Bay writes with an easy seamless flow. Her H are always swoony and h have an edge of vulnerability and brash strength to them.
Max is undeniably sexy and swoony, there’s everything to love about a man a suit; he’s not quite the alpha a-hole he came across as at the start and this is such an endearing quality. I loved how he’s very much an involved dad in his teenage daughters life and that she’s far from the bratty kind.

There’s something for every romance reader in here and a great way to experience new authors and check a book or two of your TBR ( I sure did!) and have a great collection in one must-read EPIC ROMANCE COLLECTION.
No cliffhangers.
That’s 6 full length stories!!
