My `Blogging Reader's Review' of the Novel `Kiss Me At Midnight'(shared via my blog: (via: BooksMoviesFandoms.wordpress.c o m)It's New Year's Eve and you find yourself back in your hometown, where you remember both good and not so-good memories. Regardless, you're back and you aren't the same as you were when you first left this place. You're single and looking for a one-night-stand to have fun with while ringing in the new year. There was someone in this town who use to be your best friend but during high school, that someone became a stranger to you. Even so, you came out tonight with the small chance of running into this ex-BFF at the small local bar. Why? What for? You have no clue but you're here. This is what Dr. Ashley Hanes is asking herself while she searches for her next no-strings-attached hook-up to ring in the new year with. All the while her ex-best friend Ethan Pierce is searching for his own one-night hook up while he visits the old hometown that he loathes. As the reader I'm happy to let you know that you do get two P.O.V.'s(point of views) in this story. You'll follow the story in both main characters' Ethan Pierce and Ashley Hanes.Doctor Ashley Hanes moves back to her hometown after taking a position at the local hospital. This town holds a history to her but her fondest and hardest memory is that of her former best friend, Ethan Pierce. Ashley has grown from an average girl to a beautiful, confident and successful woman. She moves back home to care for her mother after her father's passing. She has made a habit of satisfying her needs with one-night hook ups. One New Year's Eve she had no idea her life would take her back in time while changing her life in ways she never expected.Former high-school geek, Ethan Pierce was once a scrawny guy, who use to wear over sized glasses, stuttered and was picked on in high-school. Ashley Hanes was his best friend regardless of how anyone else treated him and he had a huge crush on her. After he discovered something in high school, he stopped being her friend and ignored her from then on. Ethan resented their hometown because of the horrible memories of being picked-on. Now as an adult, Ethan is no longer that scrawny, geeky guy, he is now a successful IT guy, attractive, sexy and lives far away in California. On New Year's Eve, he heads out while visiting his hometown in hopes of finding a sexy lady interested in a fun one-night stand. He didn't count on her being in town or being there of all places.This is a hot and fun story about a long-lost friendship that seems to have hopes for more when the two former-high school friends meet again nine years later as confident, sexy and successful adults. Are the feelings between Ethan and Ashley just the thrill of their past unrequited feelings or is this something with potential for a future? Can Ashley truly get over the fact that Ethan hurt her long ago when he abruptly stopped being her friend? And can Ethan finally admit his old feelings were more than a crush or will his dislike for this town send him running away again? This novella is a fun and steamy read. Check it out to see what happens between the two long lost best friends.MY BLOGGING READER'S STAR SCORE FOR `KISS ME AT MIDNIGHT' (3 1/2 out of 5 stars)This review can also be found at our wordpress blog(booksmoviesfandoms) & on Goodreads.com**This review was based on an ARC copy received for an honest review of 'Kiss Me At Midnight'**
