 Grace Burrowes is venturing into contemporary novels and no one, absolutely no one will be disappointed in, A Single Kiss! Her work in historical novels is nothing short of amazing and after reading her contemporary she is still setting the bar high. This novel is everything that one has come to expect of Burrowes' writing; fantastic characters, a plot that keeps you on your toes, details that pull you into the story, and emotions throughout it all. 
 Hannah Stark is a single, struggling mother who is hiding secrets yet believes in the power of the justice system. Her past is full of twist, turns and pain that would cripple most, yet she continues to push on and fight for what is right and helps others. The one thing that gives Hannah the most joy in life could also be her critical downfall. 
 Trent is living in the harsh reality of family law, yet is a handsome, loving-single father of a daughter who still believes in unicorns. Never did he think his new hire would be the one woman to make him risk his heart and sole for, the one he would ultimately be defended in the end. 
 Practicing family law was never what Hannah had wanted, it was too messy and too many lives were dropped through cracks and lives were changed. With financial obligations hanging over her head and a sound interview in the books, Hannah receives an offer she swore she would never consider, working in family law with Trent. Fate had a way of making her past come back to haunt her, but she finally feels she has someone(s) in her corner, the Knightley brothers. Trent is pulling long hours and places Hannah with another lawyer who is a good-for-nothing cheat, and true colors start to appear. As things become intense quickly between Hannah and her co-worker, Trent starts to stake his claim, whether Hannah is ready to be claimed or not. Laying everything on the line, Trent bares his feelings and starts to push for a relationship with Hannah. Unicorns and elementary school already have daughters bonding and forming a great friendship, if only the secret that's been haunting her will come forth and present itself, life would be grand. And all too soon it erupts in the worst way possible; Hannah is defending herself and her abilities as a mother against a faceless enemy. The Knightley brothers pull together for one of their own, reaching beyond the extent of the law and protecting Hannah and her family. The Knightleys have been Hannah's saving grace, her defenders, co-workers, sounding boards and brothers to the man she has fallen deeply in love with, but will they be enough to help her push through her painful past and keep her family together?? 
 I can not say enough good things about A Single Kiss, it literally had me awake at one o'clock in the morning simply because I could not put it down, I HAD to know what happened between Trent and Hannah. Would she surrender to her feelings? Would Trent be the one for her? How would her secret be revealed? Does Hannah find out more about her painful past? Will she be able to accept it? This novel was not laced with predictable plot twist, at times I was racked with worry over what Burrowes had planned for Hannah and Trent. I knew they would have their HEA, but they had to fight for it, and it was a hard fight. Grace Burrowes secondary characters are ideal characters; they each were well developed and added to the story, but left us wanting to know more about them and their mysterious ways. I am very excited to see what she has planned for the brothers in the upcoming novels, The First Kiss and Kiss Me Hello. 
 I love, love, loved, A Single Kiss by Grace Burrowes. I could honestly read her work everyday and never tire of it. Grace's historical novels pulled me into the Scottish and Regency era long ago, and A Single Kiss is proof she knows how to switch gears with phenomenal results!
