This novel by Stacey Joy Netzel is a lovely romp involving journalist Sadie and businessman extraordinare Zach. Because finances are tight, Sadie is forced to act as a stand-in for her ill sister, Gemma, at a filming for a commercial.  The commercial is for Zach's MovieMail business.  Before long, Sadie is taking direction, kissing Zach on camera, a day before a scheduled interview with him for the paper she works for.  Sadie is exceptionally sensitive about her financial situation, and refuses to take hand-outs or help of any kind, and this sets up a conflict for her interactions with Zach, who is obviously rich. This is a lovely story and easy to read.  Sometimes funny, and sometimes heartbreaking, you will want to keep turning pages to see what will happen next to these characters.  I was first introduced to Stacey Joy Netzel's work when I read "Lost In Italy," and bought "More Than A Kiss" because I knew the writing, story and characters would be exceptional, and they are.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, to the point where I will read it again and look for other works from this author.
