I've always written scripts for my perfect life. But no way could I have ever scripted this. My life is so far from perfect, it's not even funny. All because of a stalker. I'm at a boarding school, where I have to lie about who I am. I can't see my family. I'm tutoring a hottie god that tortures me with his smile. The most popular girl already hates me. But there's this boy. This hot, sweet, sexy boy. So I'm going to stop trying to script my life and just live it. Because who knows how long I have left.

"I feel like I've died and gone to hottie heaven." - Keatyn

This is how Keatyn feels when she arrives to her boarding school, a place that will be her home for the next year of her life, and it is NOT a joke. It is a Hottie Heaven that only Jillian Dodd could create so well. When I finished reading Stalk me (vol. 1), I was left with an amazing feeling that I had just walked into my teenage dream of going to a boarding school with hot boys and, well, have fun. Keatyn arrives to this boarding school and is suddenly introduced to so many boys at once, and well, you CANNOT help but wonder who will be the boy to steal her heart. Trust the possibilities are endless and you will definitely be rooting for one team in particular, or as in my case, TEAMS.

<3 Team Dallas and Team Aiden <3

Do NOT be fooled though... This is not a book about a girl meets boy and falls in love AT ALL, it is so much more. This is a coming-of-age story where a girl, who was not sure if she liked herself that well to begin with (Stalk Me), is sent to boarding school due to certain circumstances that happen in Stalk me...it has to do with the title of the book. Anyway, in Kiss me, the reader will begin to see the transformation of Keatyn into someone that will be proud of her own achievements, decisions in life, and, maybe, fall in love. You begin to see her become a girl that is so likable that when you are inside her head (the book is written in first person so you are always inside her head) you cannot stop yourself from grinning. So much so that your cheeks will hurt. Keatyn doesn't lose one bit of her fantastic/bigger than life personality from Stalk me, but what the reader discovers in Kiss me is that she has sooo more many layers to her pesonality that make her soo unique and so Keatyn. What I mean is that You don't get to fully appreciate her in Stalk me. In Kiss me, you get to see that she is sweet/sexy/playful/spunky/funny/charismatic/confused/damaged... she is a REAL teenager.

I won't give details about the plot because you NEED TO READ this book but what I will tell you is that if you enjoy real teenage voices, with extremely well developed characters, and an amazing and well-thought-out plot this is THE book for you.

Jillian Dodd's writing is relevant, witty, playful, hilarious, and very current. You'll get your analogies and your deep writing but in a fun and very, very witty way. You will laugh your butt off when you read this book, you will sigh and want to swoon... you will fan yourself with the closest thing to you because the boys are so hot... you will cry with Keatyn.. and you will be AFRAID for her too... This is a phenomenal book. And you do not want to miss it.

One last thing, Teenagers and parents should read this book together!!!! It deals with very relevant issues that teenagers face such as being able to communicate openly with their parents, sex, and popularity. It is a beautiful book with sooo many beautiful messages underneath all the fun and lightness that describes the author's writing.

Bravo, Jillian Dodd.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 SWOON WORTHY DAWSON STARS
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013

I’m not sure what it is about this series but I just absolutely ADORE it. I think it’s the mix between Gossip girls meets The Hills (which was a catty show on MTV with high school girls) that makes me love it. It’s seriously like watching an entire season but better; if that make sense!! Keatyn is just one of those girls you want to be. She has the “it” factor! Her personality is to die for and she makes you smile, laugh and feel all her boy drama. I really lived vicariously through her in this book. I. WAS. KEATYN!! I really want to be her!! She freaking rocks!

When we last left Keatie (sigh...yeah that’s Dawson’s nickname for her **has dreamy look in my eyes**) she had just made the dance team, had a kiss from Aiden at the ferris wheel and was trying to make some new friends. Her life has pretty much been turned upside down but she’s trying to make the best of it. That’s just her...she always makes the best of a bad situation. She’s resilient even when she thinks she can’t deal with situations. She’s in love with ‘The God of all Hotties’ aka Aiden and is trying to figure him out. Aiden has an issue with being hot and cold to her constantly. They have a couple awkward and weird situations but their kisses are blissful, romantic and soft leaving Keatie (yeah I LOVE that nickname) feeling like her soul has met it’s mate!

"It’s a slow, soft, amazing kiss. The kind of kiss that makes me feel like he’s kissing my soul." - Keatyn talking about Aiden

They just have this pull to each other that Keatyn cannot figure out. He’s definitely delicious but he’s extremely hard for her to read and understand. She goes to a party one night and gets kissed by another boy (Keatie loves to kiss boys) and this kiss is so bad she dubs it the worst kiss EVER. That kiss is given to her by Dawson (swoon..swoon..swoon) !! Now let me tell you...Ohmigawd he is absolutely, completely, fantabulously, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

"You make me feel like a superhero, Keatie."
"A superhero?"How?"
"In bed. I feel like I could fly, kick the Hulk's ass, bust Superman's chops, all before lunch." - Dawson ((swooooooon))

"I know we're suppose to be taking it slow. I know you don't want to be in a relationship until we're sure, but I wanted to give you this." He runs kisses across my face and when he gets to my lips, he murmurs, "It's the key to my heart." - Dawson ((sigh...he makes me melt))

I don’t know if you ever knew a “boy” in high school was THAT boy. The one that was so gorgeous and so sweet and just EVERYTHING a girl could ever dream of. That is Dawson!! Dawson is still hung up on his witch of an ex girlfriend Whitney (not my favorite person) when that kiss happens. He was drunk and having a bad night. Keatie and Dawson's friendship is formed when she see’s him at the cave -the hangout- and they bond over their relationship drama. Keatie and Dawson have a lot in common and their relationship really starts to form. The problem is that when Keatyn left home she left the boys she loved behind (Cush and B) who she still has feelings for. She also feels completely compelled and pulled to Aiden and is super attracted to Dawson. Not only does she have all that going on but she’s in a new school with new friends and is all alone!! AND on top of all that is still dealing with the stalker drama. Keatyn has to find her way in this book! She has to become independent and learn that love is work. Who is worth Keatyn's time? and most importantly who is worth Keatyn's love?

Overall I loved this book and series. I find Jillian's writing addictive, witty and absolutely fun. She has such a knack for writing these delicious boys who leave you grinning and swooning like a senior in high school. Reading her books are like falling in love for the first time. It gives you a sense of complete and utter enjoyment. I mean what’s better than getting lost in a world of fashion, girl drama and hot boys! I think these books tantalize and sizzle leaving you with the desire to be young again and experience the world in fun ways. To love with all your heart even if it means crashing and burning. Keatyn to me symbolize LIFE...She lives it with everything that she has. She loves hard, plays hard and parties hard and I. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. HER! I would HIGHLY recommend this series. It's the perfect escape from your everyday life. There is nothing better!

5.0 out of 5 stars "They have two moods, hungry and horny"
Reviewed in Germany on February 2, 2013

Der zweite Teil der Serie ist sogar noch besser als der Erste. Es geht spannend weiter mit Keatyn, die sich an ihrer neuen Schule gegen die Snobs behaupten muss. Auf einmal ist es sozialer Selbstmord, mit ihr befreundet zu sein, was ihr mehr zusetzt, als ihr lieb ist. Gerade als sie denkt, dass sie sich ein wenig eingelebt hat, kommen beunruhigende Nachrichten aus LA. Vincent sucht sie überall, macht sich an ihre Freunde ran, und dann verschwindet auch noch Vanessa, ihre ex-Erzfreundin, zeitgleich mit dem Stalker. Auf Facebook erscheinen seltsame Neuigkeiten über Keatyn, von Rehab bis Knast ist alles dabei.
Dank ihrer finanziellen Unabhängigkeit, beauftragt sie Garrett, den Sicherheitsexperten der Familie, die Security nochmals zu verstärken. Denn das Letzte, das sie gebrauchen kann, ist eine löchrige Tarnung, und einen Stalker, der bei ihr auf der Matte steht.

"But what did Grandpa's ranch hand say about boys? They have two moods, hungry and horny. So if you see a boy without an erection, you should go make him a sandwich."

In "Kiss me" vertieft die Autorin die Nähe zur Heldin. Man bekommt mehr Facetten von ihr zu sehen, aber auch von ihren Freunden. Die Geschichte bleibt spannend, mit neuen Beziehungen, tollen Wendungen, und einer Keatyn, die sich neu definiert.
Wie im ersten Band, ist die Erzählweise superschön. Selbst wenn nichts Großartiges passiert, konnte ich meinen Reader nicht aus der Hand legen, und habe mich stundenlang durch die Seiten gekichert. Jillian Dodds Schreibstil macht unglaublich Spaß, ihr Humor zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Geschichte. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht, mit der Heldin zu fiebern, mit ihr zu leiden und zu trauern - immerhin vermisst sie ihr Zuhause. Trost findet sie bei zwei Jungs, die sie nicht anders beschreiben kann, als "hottie god" & "sex god", zwischen denen sie sich jedoch nicht entscheiden kann. Das macht die Geschichte abwechslungsreich und ist gleichzeitig Teil des Kontrasts zwischen dem Spaß, den Keatyn hat, und den Ängsten, die sie wegen Vincent aussteht – etwas, das sie mit niemandem teilen kann.

Fazit:
Band 2 der Keatyn Chronicles setzt noch eins drauf. "Kiss me" ist nicht nur ein gute Laune Buch für Teenager ab 14/ 15 Jahren, sondern eine Geschichte mit Witz und Tiefgang. Hier ist alles drin, was das Teenagerherz begehrt: Liebe, Freundschaft, Betrug & Intrigen, Schule und Familie. Ich fiebere schon jetzt dem dritten Teil entgegen, auf den wir uns Mitte April diesen Jahres freuen dürfen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book

Well done Jillian Dodd, another brilliant book in the Keatyn Chronicle series.

I waited for what seemed like forever for this book to come out. I was a massive fan of Stalk Me and was counting down the months, days and hours for Kiss Me to be released. I had planned on saving it as a Christmas break read but I just couldn't resist any longer and gave in to temptation! I had to re-read the last couple of pages of the first book to recap on what had happened as I had quite a break between the two but WOW, book two was def worth the wait :) The title is perfect as Keatyn defiantly gets her fair share of kisses (and all with dreamy god-like guys that sound too good to be true - lucky girl!!!)

As like book one, I was a bit disappointed with the ending as it left me hanging. OK, not disappointed, more frustrated as I know I'll have to wait a while before I can get my next fix and I hate that idea! hehe

I really can't recommend this book enough. If you liked book one, then you'll love this. It's a nice easy read that will have you gripped. The ultimate question though...does anyone know when Date Me comes out? Please say its next week... :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Nervige Protagonistin, Beziehungschaos
Reviewed in Germany on December 16, 2014

Der erste Band regte mich ja schon auf, aber irgendwie wollte ich trotzdem wissen, wie es weitergeht. Und - yeah, die Protagonistin schaffte es hier tatsächlich, mich noch mehr zu nerven als im ersten Band.
Nun flattert sie als unschuldiger Schmetterling von Blume zu ...ups, sorry, Kerl zu Kerl, obwohl das natürlich alles nichts bedeutet, immerhin ist es nicht wirklich FBO...öh, ja, wie auch, wenn ohne FB-Profil... Wenn ein Kerl ihr nicht gleich als Dauer-Stolperfalle zu Füßen liegt, kann er es ja nicht ernst gemeint haben und die paar Küsse, pfffff, wer glaubt schon, dass das Bedeutung hat - außer vielleicht den zwanzig Leuten, die ihr sagen, dass es eine Bedeutung hat. Aber die haben ja keine Ahnung. Oder so.

Und natürlich, wenn man einen Stalker hat und deswegen untertauchen muss, ganz geheim, ohne Social Media, ohne alles, dann denkt man nicht daran, mit seinen Sicherheitsleuten, irgendwelche Wochenend-Trips abzuchecken oder komt nicht auf die Idee, dass auch Fotos, die andere von einem posten zur Gefahr werden können. Nein.... Das wäre zu viel gedacht und wenn man schon von ein Büchlein hat, wo die ganzen Outfits für einen zusammengestellt sind, dann muss man nicht so viel denken. Und natürlich ist jede 16jährige daran gewöhnt, mal eben Autos zu kaufen, Wohnungen zu kaufen und der Innenarchitekt muss natürlich auch sein, immerhin müssen die Möbel zu den Outfits passen. Oder so.

Die Handlung selbst könnte nett sein, wenn sie sich nicht im Beziehungschaos verlaufen würde, aber leider runiert die Protagonistin für mich das Ganze nachhaltig. Den Rest dieses Bandes habe ich nur noch überflogen, um eine Idee zu haben, wohin es denn insgesamt geht, in der Hoffnung, dass sich der Rest doch noch als lesenwert entpuppt. Aber leider blieb es so nervig, so dass ich dieses Buch nicht empfehlen kann.

I thought Keatyn was becoming a bit slutty in this, and she kinda annoyed me a bit in this one. I still loved the book, but I just didn't love Keatyn as much. I would love to explain more but I don't want to ruin it for anyone. What I will say is, before I read 'Kiss me' I recommended the series to my younger sister who is 16, and I'm now kinda regretting that I did. I don't want her reading it and thinking that it's the norm for girls her age to act how Keatyn is???
I still think it's a funny, sexy and cringe worthy read - however the 5 stars I gave is mostly down to the series in general and the author (Her 'That boy' series is a fun read). I just hope I love Keatyn more in the next...

4.0 out of 5 stars Mmmmm "hottie god" or "gorgeous" you decide!!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2013

I love the way these books follow straight on after each other. No deviating, no artificial enhancements, just straight back to where you left off!!!

After the decision to remove Keatyn from danger, this story carries on with her settling into her new school and making the most important decision of her life to date: the "hottie/demi god" or "gorgeous" aka "Aiden" or "Dawson". Still in the background is also Brook who Keatyn is still in love with but who is now surfing his way around the world.

These books are simple and enjoyable. There are some twists and turns but overall the storyline is just "nice" and you can sit back and relax and enjoy a read which doesn't turn your insides out, make you cry or have your screaming WTF. I've found myself reading them at a time when simple and straightforward is just what I'm looking for. I love my YA books and this series is no exception.

As with book one, I'm still struggling with Keatyn's beyond her years worldliness but I am starting to just ignore that now and telling myself to just enjoy the books and not to over analyse the characters and their behaviour.

Aiden is still confusing Keatyn who is trying to clarify her feelings for him. It's the classic love/hate relationship and Keatyn has to decide which out-weighs the other.

"Just because sex is good with someone, doesn't mean you're destined to be with them. Imagine what it will be like with the guy you're really supposed to be with. Your true love."

Dawson is holding Keatyn's attention but she is still undecided as to whether he has truly left his feelings for Whitney behind him.

"If only boys came with warning labels. Like, yours would be: Do not kiss when drunk. Riley's would be: I'm going to sleep with you and your best friend too."

I love Keatyn's relationship with Dallas and Riley as well. They are perfect characters to contract the passionate personalities of Dawson and Aiden.

"Dallas turns to me and says in a high-pitched voice, "Oh, how adorable! Aiden blew me a kiss. Now I just need to find out what color his panties are and we will get married, buy an organic farm, adopt twins, and happily wear pink for the rest of our lives."

I can't wait to carry on with this series, it is strangely compelling!!!
