Book Review: Kissing Kin (Trans-Peco) by Karen Hulene Bartell

 

Blurb: 

Maeve Jackson is starting over after a broken engagement—and mustering out of the Army. No job and no prospects, she spins out on black ice and totals her car.

When struggling vintner Luke Kaylor stops to help, they discover they’re distantly related. On a shoestring budget to convert his vineyard into a winery, he makes her a deal: prune grapevines in exchange for room and board.

But forgotten diaries and a haunted cabin kickstart a five-generational mystery with ancestors that have bones to pick. As carnal urges propel them into each other’s arms, they wonder: Is their attraction physical…or metaphysical?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting story. Maeve was taught that things happened for a reason. Her running into Luke and finding that they were connected, but not blood but still by family. Old diaries brought forth memories, mysteries, and more. They were attracted to each other but spent time getting to know each other and learning about their lives. I enjoyed the haunting side of the story as well. I liked Maeve and Luke but felt that the story was a bit long. Still, a good read.

I received a copy through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
