Forced to sell his estates and abandon his tenants if he does not marry a wealthy, respectable woman, Matthew turns to Lady Jennette to help him find a suitable wife.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

EVERY TIME WE KISS is a charmer! It pulls the reader right smack-dab in the center of a web of intrigue and romance that is both deadly and delicious. This is a fast-paced story filled with smart, sexy characters. I loved it, and I think others will, too.

Matthew has been forced to move back into polite society, and despite the scorn sent his way he devises a plan for finding a wealthy wife. He enlists the help of the one woman who owes him the most, pulling her into his plan, although on her terms instead of his. Jennette and Matthew are hiding a secret concerning one who is dead and buried, but when they reestablish their friendship it becomes apparent there is an attraction between them that grows more difficult to keep secret.

There isn’t anything not to like about this book. Christie Kelley’s EVERY TIME WE KISS is a historical romance that takes the reader on a delightful journey into the past. Pure enchantment!
