What I really love about this story is the writing the author creates in Every Little Kiss. She creates small dialogues between Emma and other characters that speak from the heart and hit it spot on. Every Little Kiss is a heartwarming romance that any romance fan would enjoy. ~ Amanda, Guilty Pleasures

Army vet Seth Andersen thought that joining the police department in sleepy Harvest Cove would offer a quiet, normal life.

Review copy provided for an honest review
Every Little Kiss is the second installment in the Harvest Cove series and was a delightful read. Kendra Leigh Castle has embarked on a contemporary romance series and has produced a small town with interesting characters and dynamic relationships between sisters, mother-daughters and friends.
Emma Henry has always strived to be the good daughter and live an ordinary life unlike her sister and mother. All was well until she got a little drunk at her sister’s bachelorette party and created one hell of a dance that hit YouTube and definitely changed the course of her life. Emma runs an Event Planning business and does her best to be part of the community and be quite ordinary. Her family history is a bit eccentric and she feels it’s better to conform and not make waves. Unfortunately her drunken display causes her to be seen in a new light and she doesn’t know how to handle it. Emma is a very likeable character but hasn’t learned to let people into her life and be friendly. Living a solitary life has been working for her but she senses things are changing and doesn’t handle things so well when they do. She has real fears of rejection and of loss and learns to cope with them in her own manner. Seth is attractive but unsettles her when he isn’t forthcoming with information about himself. What intrigues me about Emma and Seth is that they are more similar than they think they are, and are so right for each other.
Seth Anderson has moved to Harvest Cove to start anew after his many tours in the military, and is slowly acclimating to its inhabitants, especially one pretty little event planner. Being the good cop that he is, he helps Emma home the night of the bachelorette party and stays the night. Rumors fly but they don’t faze him much but he considers asking Emma out. Things go bumpy in the beginning but they slowly start a relationship between them that don’t freak either of them out, considering they both are afraid of long term. Seth’s past is slowly revealed and it’s understandable that has issues but nothing that couldn’t be worked out. Seth is a flawed hero and comes across as an ordinary person but definitely can say that still waters run deep about him.
Emma and Seth grow as individuals, and as a couple, in their story and deliver a wonderful contemporary romance. There are the usual miscues every couple faces and for the most part they deal with them as they come along. Emma sees more change when she becomes friends with her coworkers and others in her line of business and realizes she can have a little fun in her life. It is good to see Sam her sister get ready for her wedding, and other characters come forward in probably future storylines that definitely spark my interest. What I really love about this story is the writing the author creates in Every Little Kiss. She creates small dialogues between Emma and other characters that speak from the heart and hit it spot on. Every Little Kiss is a heartwarming romance that any romance fan would enjoy.
