Every Kiss picks up where Every Breath left off. Callie and Wes are married, and it is the anniversary of the day they first met. Rewind 4 years and we learn where it all began…Callie is a loud-mouthed, opinionated, feisty, incredibly loving and caring college junior who seems to have a thing for bad guys. After being used just for sex in her last relationship, she’s decided relationships aren’t worth it – simple and uncomplicated is what she needs.When Callie’s BFF, Makenna, talks her into helping set up a party for her boyfriend, Shane’s, brother, the last person she expected to meet was someone like Wesley Baxter. She is immediately attracted physically to the Greek God, but it doesn’t take Callie long to realize that Mr. Moody is a self-centered A-hole. Wes is drawn in by her big mouth – he likes that she calls him out on his BS. After sharing some whiskey and a drunken kiss, they can’t deny their attraction to one another, but Wes is up front with Callie from the beginning – he doesn’t do relationships, at the first sign of feelings, he’s out. Friendship is all he can offer, with maybe some benefits on the side, but Callie won’t be used for sex again.Callie soon finds out a little bit about why Wes feels this way about relationships, but when she confronts him about it, he just pushes her further away. Why won’t he tell her the truth, what secrets is he hiding? Still, they can’t stay away from each other, and each encounter is harder to resist than the first. Callie knows it’ll never go anywhere but she wants to live in the present and make the time she does have with him worth it, but will Wes allow that or run away? What will it take to prove to Wes that not all women are like the ones from his past? Is the inevitable heartbreak worth the risk?I LOVED this book! I was immediately drawn in from the beginning and didn’t want to stop reading. Tasha Ivey does a great job of getting you emotionally invested in the characters and I was literally in tears at some points. That’s the sign of a great book for me! It is book 2 in the Every Life series, but you don’t necessarily have to read book 1 to understand what’s going on. I haven’t read Every Breath yet, but now I definitely want to just to learn more about Makenna’s story.
