All she wanted was a kiss…What she got, was fiery passion…Emily Howard knows she is destined to be a spinster. She has accepted this fate, but that doesn't stop her from wanting to experience kissing. What she doesn't expect, is for Griffin Crawford, the handsomest man in the world, to do the honors. Or for all her female relations to discover her in his embrace. Naturally, marriage is instantly mentioned, but since Emily knows this is not what Griffin wants, she tries to escape him, her family and the ensuing scandal.When Emily flees the Camberly ball in the wake of their kiss, Griffin goes in pursuit. He will not allow his sister-in-law's determined friend to risk her safety for any reason. And risk it she will if she means to return to her countryside home by herself. But the longer he remains in her company, the more he is tempted to kiss her again. If only he could risk falling in love and remain in England forever.

Griffin and Emily are a perfect match, both are stubborn and insist on leading their own lives. Both are extremely kind and caring of others. It takes a while for both to admit they are in love but it happens. Beautiful ending with three children, two boys and a girl. Great, well written story.

The only son he cares was George the heir to the dukedom and was prepare like his heir. He came back to England to his parents and received the bad news that his father and brother died in a fire. He found his older brother Caleb is the new duke. I recommend to read the first book to understand better. This is the book #2 the Griffin story and he meet Emily that together with two woman runs a house for five orphans Cassandra a fallen woman ‘ that is a single mother and the ton rejected her. Emily a daughter of a business man that is very rich a self made man that the aristocracy does not accepted him.

Griffin Crawford and Emily Howard are compelling characters whose lives are inextricably intertwined before they ever meet. Both have decided marriage isn’t for them, and yet, they are drawn together before either realizes what is happening. Both are strong characters whose first loves broke their hearts. They built successful lives on their own merits and walled off their pesky hearts. Their journey to understand what’s truly important in their lives is engaging and entertaining. I totally enjoyed reading this book..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Kiss that changed everything
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019
My bad, I had the previous book lined on my kindle shelves as I preordered it because of the blurb but then it was forgotten, probably due to a big release day for many publishers but a bad one for readers as they have to deal with too many new books with which to choose to read first.
And I preordered this one too but luckily I was graced an advance copy by Netgalley and the publisher BookBuz.net why this time I didn’t passed up reading this new release.
My conclusion is it was worth the read.
This was a witty and sweet read, full of quips and funny banters until it took a more thoughtful turn. At first, it was more a battle of wills and who will have the upper hand than a real courting, then they reached a truce to be straight forward when together. So in close contact, they came to see the other from a different view. At time I was upset by Emily’s stubbornness but when I look back, even if they have an instant chemistry, it is no excuse to jump to conclusion they can get more. Never Griffin disclaimed he won’t go back to Vienna nor he expressed his feelings as himself came to realize them only later.
Both make assumptions for the other because despite being honest, they can’t openly express what they feel or expect.
It was their biggest challenge, having faith and trust another. Their past shaped their present behavior, why they appeared at first to be so reluctant to let their initial preconceptions go. Then when faced with their past crushing their burgeoning romance, they must straighten their emotions and take action.
Emily is a great character, she is no badass heroine, she learned to be independent and each step was a small victory, why I do understood her steel decision to never give up her hard won freedom for nothing less than love.

« He’d offered to marry her for heaven’s sake, and she, fool that she was, had demanded more. Because loving him when he did not love her in return would be devastating. It would wear on her heart and destroy her soul. »

Griffin is very much a gentleman, he sure caused Emily pains but he was never voluntarily, more a miscommunication problem. And he always respected who she was and whom she has become.

« Whatever happened would be up to Miss Howard. All her life she’d been steered in one direction and told what to do. If there was one thing he could give her that he believed would mean more to her than anything else, it was being given the chance to choose. »

The ending was just perfect, a leap forward in the future with a glimpse of how they faired over time.

I did like both the hero and the heroine and that is a plus since I have been finding books lately where I disliked one or the other (and in one I hated BOTH of them!). Emily, at 26, is considered to be a spinster. When a courtship fell through at age 20, she ran off and lived in the countryside with some friends who operated an orphanage. Now she is back in London and looks much different than her former pudgy self. Still, her running off years ago has ruined her reputation and she knows that she won't marry. So, she decides that she WILL have a first kiss, anyway. Unfortunately, she is caught and runs away...again! This was a nice little story but some of it was a little silly to me. The running away the first time was a bit odd, I thought. The second time (in her ball gown with little money) was a bit dimwitted. The courtship, if you can call it that, between the two was rather nice, even with the silly misunderstanding thing that the heroine constantly had in her mind. There was a really strange bit of impersonation that was thrown in for no reason that I could see and I kept looking for something to happen because of it, but...nope. All in all, this wasn't a great read but it was not a bad one either. I was going for a straight 3 Stars until the epilogue that bumped it up to 3 1/2 for me. I won't be reading any more of the series.

This was another in Ms Barnes delightful series. She always delivers a wonderful mix of romantic tension, personal struggles and a delicious outcome. Her understanding of the social attitudes of the times comes through loud and clear so that we feel the frustrations as much as the characters do. That's good writing.
