Kiss Me Tonight: An Enemies-to-Lovers Small Town Romance (Put A Ring On It Book 2) Kindle Edition

Luis has done it again. In no time at all, Dominic and Aspen had their hooks in me – call me driven, compelled, obsessed, or hypnotized – and I was helpless to do anything but keep reading (until 3 AM, thank you very much!) to find out how their delightful, heartfelt story ended.You may know that Dominic DaSilva is a retired, Super Bowl champion (football romance, anyone?) who becomes infamous on the reality dating show, Put A Ring On It, but now he's hiding out in the small coastal town of London, Maine, from both the paparazzi and the author of that horrible celebrity blog, Celebrity Tea Presents. (Boy, oh boy, do I ever want to see that dang blog author get his comeuppance!) When Dom takes his college buddy up on the offer to coach the high school football team he has no idea that he's the assistant coach or that the head coach is a woman.Aspen Levi returns home to London with her teenage son, licking her wounds after finally divorcing her despicable husband of fifteen years and a marriage that almost broke her. She was raised on football, having a father and grandfather who both played professionally and went on to coach the London High School Wildcats. She broke every record as a place kicker at Boston College and has years of coaching under her belt, so she's the perfect choice to coach the Wildcats.Let's just say, it’s about as far from love at first sight as you can get when Aspen and Dom enter each other's orbits. If it’s not bad enough that she doesn’t recognize Dom when she encounters him at the local pub (if that isn’t a hit to the ego) and Aspen's intolerance for Guinness causes her to epically embarrass herself, her son manages to get a little too up close and personal with Dom’s truck on the first day of practice. Oops. In spite of this less-than-stellar beginning, Dom and Aspen soon realize they are kindred spirits with the obstacles they've overcome and hurts that still need healing, and their professional relationship grows into more.If you like your romance with the perfect balance of humor, heat and heart then Maria Luis is your gal. And once you read one of her novels, you’ll be binge reading your way through her back catalog. Dom and Aspen are both so endearing with their baggage and vulnerable side, and the way they overcome and grow together is truly inspiring. Their story is full of epic laughs (teenage boys -- need I say more?) and heart-tugging moments (the boy from the foster care system finds a family of his own making), and these characters will own your heart!While the mention of the foster care system could be letting the cat out of the bag (but you don’t know which character, and there are definitely some surprises) it's something that holds a special place in my heart and bears mentioning. There are so many kids in the foster care system who need love and guidance and so many ways to help outside of becoming a foster parent. There are many mentoring programs where adults share a few hours of their time with a child in need, and local schools and churches are a great place to start. Brava, Ms. Luis, for highlighting something so important.This book is, by turns, poignantly emotional and hysterically funny, creating the best kind of emotional whiplash that leaves the reader on a euphoric high. These admirable, endlessly endearing characters will work their way deep inside and you’ll be disheartened upon saying goodbye but feel enormously blessed to have known them. I don’t know how she does it, but Luis just keeps topping herself with each new book. Dom and Aspen's story is amazingly special in so many ways, and you'll definitely want to grab your copy today. I promise, you won’t be sorry!*I reviewed an advance copy of this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

Enjoyed the easy flow of the story, the in depth emotions that delve into the inner most workings of ones mind while navigating what it is to really and truly love soemone. Loved Dominic and Aspens story really great

4.5 StarsI picked this book up because I loved the cover (don't judge, lol). It's one of the sexiest I've seen and it really draws your eye in. On top of that, I had a friend of mine (who read it early) say it was incredible!!! And you know what?! She's so right. I was blown away. This book's refreshing and fun, sexy and sassy, and it has so much heart. Maria Luis is a talented writer and I LOVE how she infuses passion and emotion into every scene. I was so invested in these characters and I never, not for a second, wanted to put this book down. It's charming and so so so heartwarming, and I can't see anyone not absolutely loving it.Dominic (our hero) and Aspen (our leading lady) charm you. Their meet cute is one of the BEST I have ever read. I seriously DIED over their first meeting. I mean, I shoved my face into a pillow and cackled!!!!!FREAKING CACKLED!Aspen is sooooooooooooo hilarious! And that scene is part mortifying, part endearing, and altogether cute. That woman destroys you (in the best way). And from the moment you meet her (Aspen), and she meets Dominic, you're a total goner. Dom, a super-alpha-male with this gorgeous body and smart mouth, and Aspen, a strong woman with a sharp wit, are spicy and fun and they steal your heart!!! I couldn't get enough!With Aspen home in Maine after divorcing her husband of 14 years, she's needs a fresh start. Now the football coach at the local high-school, she's looking for peace, happiness. Dominic an Ex-Superbowl Champion, with a reputation of being a major jerk, is in need of a "life" timeout. After a stint on a reality show that went bad, he was caught in a scandal and fired from his Sports 24/7 telecaster job, which is why he's in Maine.Dom and Aspen work together. Dom is her assistant coach, and that power dynamic was the actual best. These two are FIREEEEEEE! They are so hot. The chemistry, the swoon, the banter, OMG! It's so good, too good. To say I was IN THIS STORY would be an understatement. I couldn't get enough of that slowburn and all those juicy feels. Dom, our broken hero, really needs Aspen to push him into feeling all the things. And it's magic.Overall, this love story was exactly what I wanted to read. It's heart and vulnerability, sweet-and-melty-feel-good emotions that wrap you in a hug. The angst is low, the drama at a minimum, but the romance is on point and I know I won't forget it! I can't wait to read more from Maria Luis! Kiss Me Tonight was beyond my expectations, just so so so good. And I can't recommend it enough!

"Hold me Today", the first book in the series, was better. I liked the characters and the story idea well enough here but it felt like some of the situations were a bit contrived. Like the writer felt she needed to amp things up. Possible **spoilers** For example, Dom is sexy and famous and the football moms want a fundraiser. Someone suggests A calendar with him on it naked and the its like all of them are into the idea even after being told no. Yeah, small towns can have some of those types but generally the majority would be telling the wilder ones that this is not appropriate. This isn't a huge problem in a story but there was more than one instance where things were over the top. There was a section at around 50-60% where I came close to not liking the h but she evened out toward the end. Maybe the most annoying part was when her 15 year old son did not know his legal name was Topher. ? Really. Does she still fill out all his paperwork? Anyway! Not a bad book, but too many small things wrong to be a really good one. Not my favorite of her work.

Was very interesting, well thought out book. I really enjoyed reading and found it hard to put down. Highly recommended

I have been blown away by Aspen and Dom, they are so perfect for each other. I am going to have to re-binge all of Maria’s books now, but I think Aspen and Dom may have just become my new Favourite couple of Maria’s. I loved this book cannot wait for Savannah’s story so pumped.

I love these two together. The sexual chemistry was amazing. They both had their issues to get through and find what they needed with each other. The bonus chapter was the perfect ending to the story.

It’s great to see a single kick butt mum romance with an ex NFL MMC obsessed with her. The spice is okay and the writing is excellent. I just didn’t connect with the characters as much as I did the first book and wish I saw a bit more cross over.

The characters are so well written and I was totally in love with them! They just jump off the page and I couldn't get enough! I can't wait to read the next book in this series
