Sealed with a Kiss

This is another reissue that is perfectly refreshing and up to date. This second chance romance has everything you need in a read, romance, suspense, drama, twists, turns, and humor. Hunter and Molly went to law school together and were involved until Molly left to find her biological father. When she discovers he is being accused of murder the only person she feels can help is Hunter but will he put aside the fact she left him and actually help her now. Hunter does not want to get sucked into the drama but he cannot let Molly deal with this alone but he is not going to let his heart get involved again. Yea, right. It was so much fun to watch these two circle each other and figure everything out. This one can be read as a standalone but I really recommend you read Cross My Heart first for some of the back story and because it is a great book too! Definitely a great two-book series! **Received this ARC for review**

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars Sealed with a Kiss by Carly Phillips is part of the Ty and Hunter series, this book is a standalone. Daniel Hunter, a hot, sexy lawyer at the top of his game is trying to get over and move on since losing Molly Gifford in book 1. Until Molly shows up at his door asking for his help defending her biological father. Will he help her, not lost his heart again, getting over the past suspense, and maybe finding their HEA...

Powerful story about family and belonging! Molly's flighty, neglectful mother has left Molly adrift without a solid foundation, until she discovers who her birth father really is and is immediately accepted into his family. When he's arrested for a murder, she is certain of his innocence, and equally certain that the only criminal defense lawyer that can save him is the one man she had to walk away from - Daniel Hunter. Hunter doesn't want to take the case because he doesn't want his heart trampled on again, but he just can't let an innocent man suffer if there's anything he can do to help. He takes on the case and takes on Molly and her seemingly hot and cold attitude towards him, all the while vowing to keep his heart detached and protected. Their romance started - briefly - in the previous book in this series, Cross My Heart. While this book does a fine job of filling in the blanks so you don't have to have read the first book first, I highly recommend it because it's a terrific book on its own and it gives a lot more feeling and insight into these two characters. This story is filled with emotion, strong family values, a wonderfully heartfelt passion between Molly and Hunter, and just enough suspense and intrigue to keep it fast-paced and exciting. The HEA was so, so beautiful, everything a romance should be. I highly recommend this book for all true romance lovers. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
