Whichever way you choose to enjoy your stories, I wish you hours of happy reading this weekend!
The Kiss Thief by Jessica Kate
It was the perfect evening to commit a crime.
my thoughts
Jacqueline and Don are a perfectly adorable pair! Much like The Kiss Dare, this sassy short packs a storytelling punch! While I don’t advocate law-breaking, kisses are another matter entirely! The Kiss Thief is the perfect length (three chapters precisely) for rereading! These short stories from Jessica Kate are hugely enjoyable and I hope she continues to share them with the world! I love all the Aussie slang and, of course, the kisses!
I received an ebook copy of this title through the author’s newsletter. The opinions expressed are my own.
The author’s debut novel, Love and Other Mistakes, is near the top of my high priority tbr and Jessica Kate’s next release is within a week, A Girl’s Guide to the Outback! Go to Hoarding Books to find more FLF bloggers!

What a first line!
The book I shared on my blog this week is Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green but the book I’m just about to start is The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay so I’ll share that first line here: “People parted around us in the courtyard.” Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time! 🙂
