Book Review: Kiss and Tell

Heart of the Wolf

by Suzanne Brockmann

Bantam, 1996, ISBN #978-0-553-59200-9

Contemporary Romance

.

When Leila Hunt is swept off her feet by a ninja at a New Year’s Even costume party, she has no idea who the masked man is –but after he disappears into the night, she’s determined to find him. When the clock struck twelve, what began as a friendly New Year’s greeting quickly became the most unforgettable kiss Leila had ever experienced with anyone –including her absent boyfriend. But of all the possible suspects, Leila hardly imagines that the ninja is the same man who’s teased, tormented –and secretly intrigued her –since childhood.

Marshall Devlin is finally ready to face the terrifying truth: he’s in love with his best friend’s sister, and has been for years. There’s just one complication: Leila didn’t know he was her nija. To win her, Marsh will have to woo her. But can he make Leila forget their decades of verbal sparring in time to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life?

Originally published in 1996, Kiss and Tell does show it’s age a bit. The storyline is simple enough, characterization and chemistry moderate between the hero and heroine.

It’s a simple story of two people who thought they always ‘hated’ each other as kids, but they learn that they have always cared and now they’re ready to show it.

Assessment: Recommended, an easy read.  I did not purchase any additional titles from this author.

Notice: To comply FTC Guidelines, please be aware that this book was a publisher giveaway to participants of the RWA 2009 National Conference.
