One Little Kiss has some nice amount of angst packed into merely 60 or so pages, there is a lot of background for both characters, both have suffered some personal tragedy and found that now is better than later.
Leighton Greer celebrates her 4th year of beating cancer by accepting a trip to Ireland to play with her dream orchestra, but she was stranded at the airport by a snowstorm and her family sent in the cavalry... Jonas Sutton, a family friend, and someone who helped her through her toughest times, until he went away to school. But he is nearby now... Why? Unfortunately, Jonas' hotel room only has one bed, and all the cots have been taken and all the rooms are sold. Leighton and Jonas always had a connection, but Jonas is on a quest... He quit school with two months to go because he's on a strict deadline and he wanted to experience the world... while he still can. Finding Leighton... was a blessing. So was this just a one-time fling... or is this one little kiss a journey to forever?
Instead of insta-lust, this is an old connection feeling anew, plus a desire to feel alive in the middle survival and tragedy, not to mention a snow storm. The ending is a bit... wist-ful but it's a fun read.
