Baya Brighton leaves her home in Texas to join her older brother Cole at Whitney Briggs University in the mountains of North Carolina, the same college their deceased father attended. Needless to say that Baya's college experience has a very revealing start, which is known as Nipplegate. Bryson Edwards, the hottest guy in a ten-mile radius, happens to see her tube top slip down, and from that point on Bryson is enamored with Baya. Not just because she gave him a peep show, but because he feels this pull towards her, she is different and he wants to get to know more about her.  When Baya finally makes it to her dorm room with the help of Bryson they quickly run for the hills when they walk in on her roommate having sex.As fate would have it Bryson also happens to be her brother's roommate, so he takes her to see him. Quickly after walking into her brother's apartment Baya realizes that he is not the person she thought him to be. He is a womanizer, and he and Bryson have notches on the wall in their living room to prove it. While her brother preaches to her that avoiding guys and their wandering penises, and about her continuing innocence.It looks like the only thing Cole has been burying himself in is an entire sea of vaginas.Bryson is damaged by something in his past, something dark, and something that makes him feel like he doesn't deserve to love or be loved because he will only cause pain. No matter how much Bryson tries to stop himself from being drawn to Baya he just can't stop himself, even after Cole warned him to keep his distance and not to even think about making his little sister a notch on the wall. No matter how much he fights it the magnetic pull towards Baya wins over, and they start spending more time together, away from Cole because he would be livid. The find themselves sneaking off for some 3 a.m Kisses."Sometimes when you take a risk, great things happen- mountains move, and you see exactly what you've been waiting for, right there in front of you"Bryson's past starts to show it's ugly head in the form of Aubree, the best friend of Bryson's old girlfriend Stephanie, and the girl who just won't stop chasing him, no matter how many times he turns her down. Aubree will stop at nothing to try to get him. How far will she go for the man that she wants?She's the light at the end of this dark tunnel. And, if she keeps leading me by the heartstrings, I think I might make it out alive.Can Bryson finally tell Baya what happened in his past, and when the truth comes out what will she think of him? What will happen when Cole finds out about them? Will Bryson be free from his past and let go? These are all questions you will have answered, all you have to do is read 3 a.m. Kisses.I really can't go into more detail without spoiling too much, and you need to read this amazing book. The banter between Baya and Bryson was both funny and sexy all wrapped up into one. Baya's inner dialog was beyond funny. I don't think I have ever heard more names for anatomy than I heard in her head, from furby to one-eyed bat and even referring to her roommates nipples as thing one and thing two. It was downright hilarious.Don't let the comedy in this book fool you, it is also quite the romance, with some suspense and fear as well. I found myself gasping at one particular part, I literally had tears in my eyes, I was so afraid. I had gotten so close to these characters that I could physically feel their fear and their sadness.Baya was so sweet and innocent. How can she not be when she has an over protective big brother who at one time told her she can't like guys, not real guys at least, guys in books yes, because book boyfriends are all the rage. I found myself giggling at that line, because they are! She wanted to be seen as an adult and not the thirteen year old girl he saw her as, and she was determined to grow and prove to him that she was more than capable of making her own decisions.Bryson, what can I say about my new book boyfriend. Yes, he had a bad reputation of being a man whore, but what people didn't know is that his past cast a dark shadow on his life and caused him pain, pain that he sought to remedy with the never ending string of girls going in and out of his bedroom. Until Baya opened his eyes again, and made his dark world bright again.The rest of the supporting characters all added so much to this story. Cole was just trying to protect his little sister, even though he proved to be quite the hypocrite, I came to realize he only did it because he loved her, and did not want to see her get hurt. Holt is Bryson's fraternal twin and he is down right funny. You will see how he interacts with Bryson, their playfulness is so funny. Baya would have been lost without her friends Laney and Roxy, they were there for her, offering her words of encouragement and advice, not to mention making her laugh all the time. Even the evil, maniacal Aubree had a place in the story even though I wanted to inflict bodily harm on her, every time she showed up.3 a.m. Kisses was such a wonderful book, but then again I expect nothing less from Addison Moore. Everything she writes is amazing! 3 a.m. Kisses is a steamy, funny, romantic story with quite a few gut-wrenching moments. I laughed out loud so many times while reading this, the comedic timing was great, and only added to the story. It was not distracting in the least. I laughed, I cried, and I swooned all throughout this superb book. I even got my Happily Ever After, and no cliffhanger to top it off!I cannot wait to learn more about the characters in this book when Winter Kisses which is Laney and Ryder's story comes out in November.
