This diverse collection of sweet and sexy stories features a variety of kissable themes (1st kisses, broken hearts, second chances, redemption, renewal, friends to lovers, etc) that will tug at the heartstrings, stir the soul, and simply leave you wanting more.

I loved reading all thirteen stories, and when I tried to pick my favorite, I just couldn't do it, each story had something special that easily captivated me and left me smiling. So if you want to add a little sugar and spice to your reading pleasure, read the Story of a Kiss Anthology collection, you can thank me later.
