Synopsis (Goodreads):

I’m Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle’s NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she’s getting married.

And there’s a small complication.

A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.

She’s my son-in-law’s older sister. Or at least that’s how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that.

I’ve been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction.

Until we finally give in.

It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets—and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture—and turns into months of sneaking around.

Here’s the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can’t be anything but casual. And as I’ve already said…it’s complicated.

But when Hanna finds out she’s pregnant…suddenly things get real serious.

Thoughts on A Kiss for a Kiss: Well. Jake and Hanna's romance is a little complicated. A little. Complicated. By that, I mean, their kids are married, but Hanna's son isn't known to the world as her son and THAT'S a whole other issue she needs to work her head around. But before they get to that point (the dealing with their complications part, that is), Hanna and Jake are just having a little fun. Which is all fine and good, amirite?

Then things take a turn neither of them were expecting and suddenly their empty nests aren't looking like they're going to be empty for too much longer and they both have to readjust their visions of their futures. And while they both want those futures to involve the other, there are THINGS they need to work out before they reach that point.

Jake and Hanna have to deal with previous losses, old grief, new beginnings, old hurts (which are different from the old grief, mind you) that never really healed, and a whole lot of steamy times on whatever surface Jake and Hanna have access to. They are a complex family-esque unit before they get together and they have to find a way to make things work that also works for their kids.

That said, I DUG Jake and Hanna finding their happiness with one another. *thumbs up*
