Perfect Kiss (Mason Creek Book 9) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,085 ratings

Malcolm

They say opposites attract, but I never understood the phrase until Leni Abbott walked into my office—or more specifically—into my office bathroom, while I was naked. Even as the pink stained her cheeks and she stuttered to speak, I was completely intrigued. She’s unlike anyone I’ve met before and, wildly enough, seems immune to my charms.

She also has a son. A young five-year-old boy, Trace, who blindsides me with his toothless grin and worms his way into my heart.

Together, they make me feel things. Things I’ve never expected. This single mom might not know it, but she could be everything I never knew I wanted.


Leni

I’ve heard all the rumors about Malcolm Wright, the playboy mayor with a trail of broken hearts left in his wake. I try to resist him, really I do, but he’s always there with those devastatingly gorgeous eyes and a sexy smile full of wicked intent. When he hires my business to clean his impressive house, I know I should stay away, yet find my resolve slipping.

Then he meets my son. I fully expect him to run for the hills, but that doesn’t happen. In fact, being near Trace only seems to draw Malcolm and I closer.

Now there are two hearts on the line as I put my trust and faith into the one man in Mason Creek who may not be able to give his own heart in return.

    I loved this book!!!! It was PERFECT!!! I adored Lenora, Trace and Malcolm they were all such wonderful characters. Lenora and Malcolm's relationship was so sweet, swoony, and heartwarming! The story grabbed me from the first page and I couldn't put it down! Who needs sleep when you have a new Lacey Black book, right?? The story flowed along beautifully as they got to know each other and the way that Malcolm embraced Trace immediately and treated him so lovingly just gave me the warm fuzzies throughout the entire story. I am glad the angst was kept to a minimum, I feel that oftentimes authors ruin the mood of a book by creating chapter after chapter of unnecessary angst... I was so happy that Lacey didn't do that to this book because it was such a delightful story of kindness, caring, and growing love that it made my heart smile. Thank you Lacey for the epilogue.... It was a treat that I wish more authors would give us! I highly recommend this book it will make you smile, laugh, and sigh in contentment at the how romantic and perfect a story it is!😇

    I love the town of Mason Creek, and each book gets a little better. The author brings all the finer parts of small town living to the reader—the playboy Mayor and the single mom, with the best meet-cute, ever.

    Malcolm is the legacy Mayor with Senate aspirations but loves women. Lenora or Leni is our single mom who has recently returned to town after being away. They have no business being together, but the chemistry is, wow! Until their pasts show up. Will it take a village to get the back together?

    Perfect kiss is a quick read, with lots of laughs, gossip, town busybodies, and a strong female lead in Leni. I am excited for the next book.

    Malcolm Wright is the town mayor,  but he's also the town playboy.  That is, according to the MC Scoop.  Lenora "Leni" Abbott is a single mom who has moved back home to raise her 5 year old son close to family.   There's no way these two could get together,  that is, until Leni is comes in to clean his office at City Hall and finds herself an omg eyeful of the mayor in all his God given glory as he's coming out of the shower!

    Perfect Kiss is book 9 of the 12 part saga of Mason Creek.   These two types of characters; the playboy mayor and the single mom working 3 jobs to take care of her son, are the most opposite but the author weaves a wonderful story and turns you into a believer.   I loved the idea of the reformed bachelor proving he can be the "right one." The one to set aside his  single life to give that special person the "epic kiss" of her dreams.

    The kids in these books have stolen my heart, Trace being no exception.  He had me eating out of the palm of his hand.  His love of life despite his harsh reality is so powerful.  This little man is so wise and it melted my heart.

    This book was the perfect mix. It kept me intrigued and I love that it followed up Kaylee Ryan's book Perfect Embrace. This book will get you in your feels and leave you wanting more. The Perfect Kiss was simply perfect.

    I truly enjoyed this book, but as always, anything by Lacey is a great read. Malcolm and Leni are total opposites. When Leni walks in on naked Malcolm, she freaks out and is sure she will lose her cleaning job with the major. Yes, Malcolm is the Major. What happens between them is a twist of fate. The attraction is there, the chemistry is there and the sexual tension is on fire. Who wouldn't want Malcolm? Every single woman in the small town does, and has had him, but Leni.
    How with Leni on his radar, Malcolm is bound to get to know her and her son. Something he never thought twice about. After many run ins with the towns floozy, and being confronted, Leni loses her cleaning job with her, and is forced to move on with her life without Malcolm. Now with the small town gossip circulating, things are blowing up for both Leni and Malcolm.
    This is a wonderful story. It's got everything you need for a small town romance. Throw in a kid and swoon ladies, because Mayor Malcolm has it all.

    Enjoyed it and am enjoying the entire series. The only thing I don’t like is the baby talk that these authors seem to think is necessary…which it isn’t! This boy was 5 and old enough to no talk baby talk.

    I loved this book. Its well written with an interesting storyline. The small town setting with supportive family and friends always makes a good story better. The personalities, thoughts and emotions of the characters are clearly depicted. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good love story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Perfect read from Lacey Black
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2021
    We all have a set of authors that we just know will deliver the wow factor and give you a perfect romance story one that just makes you happy, Lacey Black is one such author for me, I know she will never disappoint me, and I know that I will come away from reading one of her stories having been thoroughly swept away in the storyline and I was proved right again with Perfect Kiss. I am a sucker for single parent romances and this one ticked all my boxes. Combining independent single mom Leni with our hot but commitment-shy mayor of Mason Creek, was a touch of genius. Another great addition to Mason Creek and one that I will be reading again.
