About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling author of Love Me Again returns to the town of Hope, Oklahoma, where school is in session and love rules the playbook.

Josie Barnes has always craved a sense of home. She's found that in Hope, Oklahoma—she bought a house, has a new job as an English teacher at Hope High, she's made wonderful friends, and she's taking in stray animals that no one else wants. Now she's flirting with fellow teacher and hot high school football coach Zach Powers. But he's almost too good to be true, and Josie learned long ago not to trust in the too-good-to-be-true, because it has always let her down.

A former pro football player, Zach had to pull back when a career-ending knee injury forced him to rethink his future. Now he's happy calling plays as Coach. If he could just get Josie Barnes to stop benching his players for their poor grades, life would be perfect. Instead, she drives him crazy as the stern teacher at school and the sexy woman of his dreams outside of the classroom. He knows she's been hurt in the past, but he wants to be that guy she can trust.

The one thing Josie has never been able to count on is the people closest to her. But Zach intends to show her that what they have between them is a textbook case of love.

Ratings and reviews

One Perfect Kiss is a sweet friends to lovers romp through Hope. With visits from all our friends and a sneak peek at some other relationships, everything is perfect in Hope. Everything except self doubt and a past that troubles our heroine. It's a good thing the coach doesn't give up too easily. He has his work cut out for him.

I absolutely love Jaci Burton’s Hope series! Small-town romances are definitely my cup of tea! Josie and Zach’s story is fun, sexy and full of all kinds of good feels! Their chemistry is off the charts! The sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife! I really enjoyed their scenes together, especially when it involved their furry friends. Josie has trust issues stemming from some serious family issues but that didn’t stop Zach from wanting to get closer to her. He scored a lot of points with me! And can we just talk about Zach for a minute? This high school football coach was once a former NFL football player. RAWR! He’s still toned and making the football moms drool! Not to mention a certain English teacher 😉 The supporting cast is also wonderful. I love revisiting all the Hope couples. We also get a quick mention from Ms. Burton’s Play by Play series. I loved it! ONE PERFECT KISS is a sweet and sexy romance with all the fixings! ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book generously provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
