When a wounded lord hires a housekeeper in disguise, secrets smolder and sparks fly in this grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, spicy and cozy small town historical romance with heat, humor, and heart!

After a tragic accident, former piano virtuoso Lord Ethan Harrington takes refuge at a tumbledown country manor that is supposedly haunted. He hires Xenia Loveday to be his housekeeper, unaware that her mousy appearance is a disguise, and she’s a naughty storyteller on the run. As Ethan and Xenia are drawn together by a sizzling attraction, they must contend with dangerous enemies…and unravel the mystery of a century-old curse.

One Kiss to Desire is entertaining, scorchingly hot, and offers just the right amount of eerie/atmospheric touch to the story rendering it a romantic, spooky season read. I had great fun listening to the audiobook, delightfully narrated by Marian Hussey.

Desire, deception and danger.

After the first hour I was beyond excited for this story, but then the story took some weird focus points about the FMC history and the haunting of the house and it just got muddled.

So close but not enough

I really wanted to like this book, it had an interesting premise and I find that Grace can write nuanced characters, however this was a miss. I found the main character Xenia's backstory to be far fetched at best and completely unbelievable at worst. Grace also uses one of the worst tropes in romance, "I can't tell you about my horrid past that's actually not that bad but I'm going to run away to protect you without your consent." This trope is so irritating, especially when sex scenes are used to "distract" the MMC or as attempted character development. The ghost aspect of this book felt shoe horned in, as did some of the interactions with Ethan's friends. I thought the spice level in this book was a little excessive, but if that's what you're looking for I'd recommend this book. If you want a historical romance with good character development this is not it. I would like to see Grace focus a little more on character development and a little less on pearls and shafts.

Lots of Spice but no Substance
