In the beginning of this story I was a little lost due to the timeline presentation. Then I 'caught on' to what was going on...there was a shifting back in time to the present to back in time to the present that was extremely confusing at first. Essentially it is a story about Rachel & Dean, two young adults who meet while on vacation in a Florida beach town. Rachel just graduated college with a degree in fashion design and Dean was on military leave. They share a magical few days together and end the encounter by exchanging addresses and promising to keep in touch...some unexplained mail mishaps on BOTH sides happen and neither receive correspondence from the other assuming they were simply considered a summer fling long forgotten. Fast forward 20 years...Rachel is working as a personal assistant to a billionaire (whom apparently was like 5 when she met him while interviewing with his mom to design her clothes) and receives a directive to hire a specific new security detail for said billionaire...and believe it or not, it is Dean applying for the job! Neither has married or dated anyone seriously because they just could not get over each other, but a clause in their employment contract prevents them from dating...yada, yada, yada! For another two and half years they pretend it is all water under the bridge and go through the motions of life, yada, yada, yada. Then they can't live without each other anymore, yada, yada, yada...other things happen and they finally get a HEA, the end. Champagne Kisses is a true lost love story. From their steamy two week together you can feel the love between Rachel and Dean. Then their true love must wait 20 years!! Champagne Kisses is an outstanding mix of a hot romance, with a splash of drama, and a pinch of suspense. The story line will keep you guessing what is going to happen right up to the end. Be prepared for the emotional roller coaster you will be on with Rachel and the hot military body of Dean. This is a must read and the best book in the series thus far.
