Kisha Moran knows next to nothing about Craig Jackson--which seems to be just the way he likes it. The TV-news anchor arrived at Kisha's dental practice for emergency treatment and ever since, she's been unable to get him out of her mind. Her body's reaction to him is undeniable, and their first incredible night together tells her it's mutual. But getting this sexy, enigmatic man to open up would take a Christmas miracle...and Kisha isn't waiting for one of those.
Craig has no time for the string of women who'll do anything to get close to a celebrity. Maybe Kisha's different, maybe not. But suddenly, brushing her off isn't a problem--because feisty Kisha has gone ice-cold on him. And with the holidays approaching, Craig realizes that the only gift he wants is another chance to show her the man behind the mystery....

This review is from: Holiday Kisses (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Gwynne Forster has been one of my absolute favorite authors for years, that has changed with the last few books. Who is writing these books that she puts her name on? Her early books had engaging characters and captivating plots, lately these books read like a bunch of unconnected words between two covers, I struggled to get through half this book before I finally gave up, I hate not to finish a book, even a mediocre one. The conversation and scenes between Kisha and Craig were so slow and disjointed it was painful. As much as I have loved her early books, I am really apprehensive about purchasing another one of her books.

This review is from: Holiday Kisses (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Usually when I read a book, I give the author the benefit of the doubt and read past page 25. If I don't get that far the book is history. Well in this case I got past page 40 and I was still bored with it. If I hadn't already written my name in the book it would have been back at the store. Ms Forster books are not what they use to be. I am sorry but this was a disappointment for me.

This review is from: Holiday Kisses (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Craig Jackson was considered a celebrity TV news anchor in Baltimore while Kisha Moran's dental practice was known around the city for reaching out to the less fortunate, especially the children to provide good dental care. Kisha's giving heart, and Craig's seemingly arrogant attitude did not seem destined to come together in Gwynne Forster's Holiday Kisses.
The attraction between Craig and Kisha was evident, even through the excruciating toothache pain Craig was experiencing when he found himself outside of Kisha's dental practice waiting for her to care for his tooth. Easing Craig's fear of needles, Kisha spent the time needed to care for the tooth and send the handsome TV anchor on his way, but not without thoughts of him lingering behind.
Through a tug-of-war of wills, perception and misperceptions, Craig and Kisha began to date, but it was not long before the very things they found interesting in each other would find a way to bring friction between the two. Will Craig and Kisha share the holiday kisses they both anticipate, or find a reason to go their separate ways?
I found Holiday Kisses to be a quick read, but with so much "back and forth" between the characters, I was more than anxious to see the end of the story. I recommend this book to those who love holiday romances.
