Editorial Review:

Product Description:
If there's one point that Jamie McClintock and Nate Goddard can agree upon, it s that love is overrated. Jamie doesn't have time for it. Nate doesn't need it. And they certainly don t want it from each other. Jamie, a struggling free-spirited artist, is a devoted single mother who hasn't been in a serious relationship since her boyfriend abandoned her after their son was born. Nate, a charismatic jet-setting salesman, is widowed and estranged from his father and five-year-old son, Christopher. Jamie would rather glue glitter to pinecones than go out on a date. Nate spends most of his nights wooing his clients. Then one afternoon Nate s father drops dead of a heart attack. In that moment, their highly guarded worlds collide. When Nate shows up at his childhood home to settle the estate and reclaim his son, he discovers that Jamie has been living in the Connecticut farmhouse as his father s roommate. Mistrustful of each other s motives, Nate and Jamie bicker about everything from children s nicknames to Jamie s fashion choices to Nate s home renovation methods. It doesn't help that Christopher prefers Jamie to his absentee father. But after the funeral, Nate and Jamie begin to see each other in a more forgiving light. Nate, traveling to sales conferences all over the country with a sullen Christopher in tow, learns he can t breeze his way through single parenthood. Jamie, who has moved back in with her sister, wonders at the wisdom of her unconventional choices as a woman with a child to support. And both begin to realize they don t know as much about love as they thought. Still wounded by past heartbreak and sorrow, can they learn to trust each other and open their hearts?



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty good
This book was a lot more mature and grown up compared to her other books. Which was nice. It was a good premise but I almost gave up mid-way through because you knew basically what was going to happen. Too predictable. The characters are well done, however. It's a nice read but nothing to rush out for.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A bouyant, lovely read
This book hits all the emotional notes in fresh and unexpected ways. The lead characters are loving, funny, exasperating and so enjoyable; I particularly liked spending time with Nate. A great read.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another great novel from Sandi Shelton
Sandi Shelton has written another magnificent and entertaining novel with characters that come to life so well I actually feel I am walking around with them. This novel is a little different from her first two in that we get a male as well as female perspective. This novel is full of dynamic characters, a fresh and compelling plot, and a lively dose of romance against a backdrop of human frailty. A great read! I can't wait for her next one!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent, the best yet.
I loved this book! I'm a longtime fan of Sandi Kahn Shelton's books, but this one is her best yet. The characters are compelling, and the story is funny and the pacing is perfect - slow enough to enjoy the story, but fast enough that the twists keep coming. The story has a satisfying feel and resolves well, just as a good romance novel should.

Highly recommended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Hit for Sandi Kahn Shelton
This newest novel of Sandi's is her best yet. The characters in her novels usually have their own weird sense of "normal" and Nate and Jamie et al. do not disappoint. From the first chapter of "Kissing Games . . ." the reader can make a connection or empathize with everyone in this story. As the story behind each character is slowly revealed you get to know why they behave the way they do and you want them all to achieve the happy and contented life they want yet make so hard to achieve--even ...
