review 1: Lima tahun yang lalu, Jenette dan Matthew melakukan sebuah kesalahan yang telah menyebabkan keduanya menjalani hidup dengan perasaan bersalah. Kini Matthew kembali ke kalangan atas mengembalikan namanya dan mencari seorang istri.Entah apa yang ada dalam pikiran Matthew ketika pertama kali berjumpa dengan wanita yang dulu adalah tunangan temannya, wanita yang membuatnya tertarik, dan yang tercetus pertama kali dari mulutnya adalah memunta wanita itu menjadi istrinya.Jenette kaget akan permintaan Matthew dan kedatangan pria itu setelah lima tahun. Pria itu tidak berubah, tetap menarik, dan membahayakan hatinya. Jenette tak ingin menikahi pria itu karena perasaan bersalah yang terus menggelayutinya dan akhirnya berjanji akan mencarikan Matthew seorang istri.Setelah mendapatka... moren calon untuk Matthew, kini malah Jenette yang ternakar rasa cemburu ketika pria itu tersenyum kepada wanita lain. Dan Matthew tidak membantu, pria itu malah selalu mengikuti dan membayanginya..Buku ini adalah buku Christie Kelley yang pertama kali aku baca... Dan aku nyesel gak baca dari buku satunya tentang kakak Jenette, Banning, dengan Avis. Sepertinya seru karena wanitanya itu agak keras kepala dan mandiri. Kebayang deh keduanya pasti sering berantem. Entar cari ah pas bookfair :)Kembali ke kedua tokoh utama kita. Seru nih ceritanya buatku. Karakternya lucu sih, malu-malu mau. Hwhwhwh.. Matthew awalnya bersikap gentleman, tapi akhirnya gak tahan juga ama godaan. Jenette juga gak membantu =PCeritanya sendiri bikin aku gregetan soalnya penasaran kapan akhirnya mereka bersatu?? Tapi menunggu yang berdebar-debar karena pendekatan Matthew ke Jenette. Belum lagi si Somerton yang bikin lucu dan penasaran. Dia menginginkan nama wanita, siapa??Overall, ceritanya seru sih. Termasuk bacaan ringan dan cepat juga. Aku bakal baca karya dia yang lain juga :)
review 2: I have a problem. I'm a readaholic. Once I start a book, I just have to finish it. Of the thousands of books I've read over my life, I can probably count the ones I couldn't finish on two hands. I did finish "Every Time We Kiss" by Christie Kelley. But it also became a struggle at times. I think my problem stemmed mainly from my dislike of the heroine and the horrible sense of selfishness I felt from her actions. Lady Jennette has been in mourning for five long years since the death of her fiance. Her outward mourning is really more of a cover for her sense of guilt over his death...and her attraction to his best friend. Although a beauty, she's decided she doesn't deserve happiness and therefore has vowed not to marry.Matthew is the newly ascended Earl of Blackburn. For five years he has been reviled by the ton for unintentionally killing his best friend, Jennette's fiance. Unfortunately for him, the title doesn't come with the necessary funds to keep his tenants and estates viable so he must marry for money. Of course, trying to marry anyone while being considered a black sheep tends to be a bit difficult so he throws himself on Jennette's mercy and asks her to help him find a suitable bride or marry him herself. Truly the actions of a scoundrel!Let me be honest here. Jennette was a selfish twit and Matthew was either very stupid or a saint. I just could NOT 'buy' this plot. BOTH of them suffering for five long years for something that could have been cleared up fairly easily. They had such a strong attraction for each other that they could only stay apart by never seeing each other so I guess that's one reason for all the angst in the plot, but it was just too much for me."Every Time We Kiss" is a fairly quick read. If you enjoy the long-suffering hero type and the helplessly virtuous victim heroine...then you'll really enjoy Christie Kelley's story. I like her writing style, but this plot just about did me in! less
