I voluntarily received an ARC of Just a Kiss by Denise Hunter in exchange for an honest review. Just a Kiss is a sweet and classic romance. Riley has been in love with his best friend Paige for years, but has never told her due to fearing she won't feel the same way. Although not for some readers, the Christian aspects of Riley and Paige's story were by far my favorite. I found it refreshing to have prayer and scriptures included in a new adult romance. The scenes that did include references to scripture or prayer flowed seamlessly without seaming overbearing. I really enjoyed how Denise Hunter incorporated the physical and emotional struggles men and women experience after returning home from war into the story. Denise Hunter did a great job showcasing Riley's hesitancy to accept professional help, even though in the end counseling helped Riley overcome his demons.

This is the third book in The Summer.Harbor series. Though I hadn't read the others this is easy to read by itself. We have Riley who joins the marines for all the wrong reasons . To come home as an amputee. Seeing Paige,again, the love is stronger than ever. He plans to distance, and allow her to find a whole man to love her. Plans were made for him to stay at her bungalow, for it had a downstairs bedroom. The nursemaid would then be Paige. This is a natural avenue for her, for she has the animal shelter. Funding is needed to keep it open. As well as patience and understanding for Riley. Great story of adjustment for both Paige and Riley. As usual another good story by Denise Hinter for all to enjoy. Given ARC by Net Galley for my honest opinion, of which I have given
