Kiss To Remember
Some moments define the trajectory of your life.
Grace Shelton has experienced her fair share of loss and trauma, but moving to Blairwood is her chance for a new beginning.
For Trent Remington, going to college is a chance to break free of his overprotective parents and finally play basketball.
Some moments will change it forever.
When Grace collides into Trent by accident, she sees the last person she ever expected to find - the boy that’s been haunting her dreams for the past two years. Trent might belong to another girl, but he can’t seem to get the redhead with the sad eyes out of his mind no matter how hard he tries.
Together, they might risk everything for a chance at love, but will a kiss be enough to make him remember?

Rating: All the stars in the universe please.
I am head over heels in love with this book!!! I can not stress more on the fact that this book was so perfect that I didn't wanna put it down.
Anna has a way of writing stories such that, the readers are completely sucked into the world and leave them wanting for more.
You can not put this book down once you start, I was so sad when it ended because it was so good that I didn't want it to end at all.
The flow of the book was perfect, the pace was perfect, the writing style sucks you in and keeps you curious and makes you fall it love with it.
The way they started out in the first chapter to where they ended in the bonus epilogue. The growth they had was impeccable. The love, the unsaid connection 🤧 the emotions, right in place. The happy parts, sad ones, crazy one, the mystery ughh, nothing but perfect. My heart is with them, ugh there were so many things that but close to home, it made the book so much better.
Trent did have another girl yet he had eyes for our girl Grace, the most lovable person ever. The pull and connection between them made it so difficult, rather impossible for them to stay away from each other.
Grace with her past haunting her, would she be able to forget and move on? Will it still effect her that the guy whom she loved, her first love would now just be a mere someone she knew?
Read to find out more!!!!
Overall it was just so perfect, for the loss of a better word.
Special mention: Jade, our girl!!! Damn I love that girl. She truly is a girl crush of many.

Questions:
why didn't Grace just tell Trent/Mason everything?
why was she so in love with him?
why didn't the author further establish Mason and Grace's relationship to avoid Grace in the present seeming like a bit of a psycho?
Why did the author think that major plot twist fit into the scheme of this book?
Other than the mystery of Trent and Mason, why was every other part of the plot bland?
theses questions are just some things to ponder

This was a heartbreakingly beautiful story about first loves. The happiness, The heartbreak, The reconnecting of two people and the healing power of love.

Anna B Doe, what are you doing to me! SO many emotions! I am not joking when I say, I hated every day I had to go to work that took me away from reading this work of art! This book is a real page-turner and you will NOT want to put it down. There are so many twists and turns, unexpected moments, tender moments. My heart may never recover after reading this rollercoaster of a book! Grace and Mason forever!
I am not going to go into this book in detail because I believe the less you know going in the better the experience. (However, I would recommend reading the prequel, as it gives you an insight into Grace and Mason's history, and also you will understand Graces heartache so much more). Also, I don't want to spoil this book for you!
I highly recommend this book and I would like to thank Anna B Doe for a copy of this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I don't usually start a series in the middle, but this popped up while I was scouring the Kindle Unlimited books that I still had hanging out awaiting attention. Sounded like an easy quick college campus story. I loved the characters involved in this story and especially Grace Shelton and Trent Remington. In addition to being a sports-related college romance, it had an angst filled storyline and an unsolved mystery that added an extra dose of depth.
I wasn't disappointed, although it might be a little far-fetched. Oh well, it was entertaining and cleared it from my list.

Before reading this book it's best to read the prequel which is "Kiss Before Midnight" to properly understand the events in this story.
First and foremost, this is an intriguing story. Grace Shelton and Mason Leblanc met at 16, they had their first date and first kiss, after that night, Mason went missing, as if he did not exist and Grace was left heartbroken. They said that first love never dies, Grace for years has been haunted by the boy she fell in love with. Although they only met for a brief encounter Grace felt their deep connection. In College, Grace decided that moving to Blairwood University would mend her broken heart and a fresh start, however he accidentally bump into Trent Remington, who looks exactly like Mason. What more can Grace's broken heart endure when she learned that Trent is not the Mason she knew and he also has a longtime girlfriend.
The angst in this story is so good, the pain Grace felt when she met Trent as a complete different person is heartbreaking. Grace and Trent were drawn to each other, they keep having moments together especially when Trent needed a Tutor. As much as they fight it, their attraction is quite inevitable, In Grace part, she was hopeful and still in love but she can't have him, For Trent, he feels guilty because he has a girlfriend but he can’t stop thinking about her. The dual POV gave context to their feelings and I just love how the author put some mystery in the plot that kept me wanting for more. As much as I am rooting for Mason to come back, Trent is forcing it's way to my heart and I want Grace to be happy. This second chance story intrigued me up to the very end until I got to the part where everything was revealed. That was something else.
This is a book where destiny place a big part and what's meant to be will always finds it way.

Buckle Up everyone! Anna B. Doe is going to take you on an emotionally charged, angst-filled ride with Kiss To Remember!
This story is best enjoyed if you read the prequel, Kiss Before Midnight.
I want to gush about this book but I also am one of those that thinks spoilers takes the magic away from the story and the way the author chooses to unfold the plot in their story.
Trust the process because if you're like me, you will have lots of emotions pop up. Mine included astonishment, anger, hope, sorrow, pride, and happiness. Anna B. Doe did a phenomenal job with this!
What I can talk about that I feel won't spoil the story is the friendship that has developed between the girl's of Blairwood. They are each different but they compliment each other so well. These girls have each other's backs no matter what. They are serious friendship goals!
I have loved each Blairwood story and Kiss To Remember is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see what's next! If you love new adult, college romances, I HIGHLY suggest reading this series!

Oh this will be special! For all of you that still hold your first love in your heart... but you would rather not to!
November 11, 2021
First off you really need to read Kiss Before Midnight before you read this book so that you have a better understanding of the pain and heartache that Grace has been through at the beginning of Kiss to Remember.
Two years ago, Mason, the boy that Grace loved disappeared from her life. After spending those years searching for him she finally decides that it’s time to move on. Then a few weeks into her freshman year of college she runs into Trent, who looks exactly like the boy she loved, only he has no idea who she is, and he has a girlfriend. Even though Grace tries to put the past behind her and move on, and part of that includes avoiding Trent, they keep running into each other. And even though Trent has a girlfriend, he can’t seem to keep his mind off of Grace. So, what’s the truth? Is Trent actually Mason, or is he just a guy that looks exactly like him? And will Grace and Trent be able to stay away from each other or will they risk it all for a chance at love?
My heart felt so much for Grace in this book. The poor girl has been through a lot in her life and has had her heart destroyed. Imagine going on a date with the boy that you love and then he disappears, never to be heard from, not even by his friends. Grace tries to move on but Mason has held her heart and I commend her for finally deciding to put the past in the past and start living her life again. But to then literally run into the boy that disappeared on you, only to find out that he doesn’t remember you, goes by another name, AND has a girlfriend. Yikes! I think I would burrow myself into my bed and stay there for a month so kudos to her for only taking a day.
Now Trent I have mixed feelings on. I do genuinely like him and I understand that he was feeling conflicted but I was still giving him the side eye while he was in essence perusing Grace while he still had a girlfriend, but thankfully he rectified that situation. All of that aside, he did completely win me over by the end of the book. Also, I knew that something was up from the beginning and that there had to be some explanation for why Trent looked and seemed so much like Mason. And while I had some ideas I will say that I did not expect the real story behind it all, and it defiantly threw me for a loop.
I was intrigued from the beginning of this book to the end. I had so many ideas and was so invested to find out the truth behind it all that I read this book in a day. This really was a great read but prepare yourself for the angst, because oh boy is there a lot of it.

Our paths keep crossing for a reason. You can't tell me you don't think the same.
ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
So, let's be honest here: I never read the synopsis of the books, I feel they spoil you, So i was like: omg, grace and mason gonna serve second chance, but then...the guy name is Trent *welcome to the circus* Anyway this has not made me like more or less his character, in fact, im a big fan of Trent (he has to be so tall cause is a basketball player and he is a softie so a win-win for me)
Okay, now...THE ANGST, THE STORY, THE CHARACTERS, THE CRUMBS OF ANOTHER COUPLES *Im dying here*
I love the character of Grace, it is a character that I wanted to know more about and that caught my attention in Kiss to Defy (Trent and Grace book happens at the same time that Rei and Zane) and she didn't disappoint me, in fact I felt identified in some moments with her.
Her relationship with the girls, especially Yasmin and Jade was everything to me, I love the friendship moments in books (Jade in this book has charmed me, I already want her story because I will fall in love for sure). I was so happy to read the moments of Grace with JD and Sienna and the kids, so cute.
Now Trent...Trent has been a character I’ve loved from the first moment (it is true that perhaps the relationship would have ended before) but that GIVE US THE ANGTS. His story was the last thing I expected, I had theories but none ended like the story itself, so I really enjoyed this bit of mystery.
The relationship between Trent and Grace was amazing and I really loved reading it, there was always something that made them meet and they have a few scenes that made me giggling. The way he wants to put a smile on her face, or wanted to know her, please, he is such a good boy, I love him.
Now, go to read this book, the previous one, cause I really love this series and the group of friends.
Now I'll be here waiting for maddoxalyssa (im a dramatic).

Kiss to Remember absolutely owns my heart! This book is such a wild rollercoaster and oh boy did it totally tug at my heartstrings the entire way. Grace and Trent's story is a whole journey; there's heartache and there's angst but also so much love and passion; it's so beautiful!
Trent is drawn to Grace and can't stay away from her but he can't explain why because he's supposed to be in love with another girl... right? Grace is reminded of the boy she epicly fell in love with every time she crosses paths with Trent and spends time with him, it's slowly breaking her because he has no idea and gaah the feels!!
Grace and Trent are literally everything good in this world. They're so precious and my heart ached for everything both of them have to go through. They're so sweet and such soft characters that I adore! And not to talk about the way Trent is so swoony as heck and that Grace may have stolen my spot of favorite from the girls!
Damn the mystery in here was absolutely killing me and I went through it alongside the characters but I kinda loved every second of it anyways. I had a hunch on some little details that ended up being true but man I did not see the big twist coming, I loved the storyline so much!
This book took my heart and put into a blender and had me in emotional turmoil! Everything about this is honestly perfect and just ah wow Anna B. Doe outdid herself with Grace and Trent's story!
"You're worth it, Grace. You're worth fighting for. You're worth waiting for. You're worth remembering."

Kiss To Remember is such a phenomenal phenomenal read! This book captures the emotions of these characters and projects them in full force. I have waited for this book for over a year and I can say with all my heart I’m so glad it’s finally here and it was well worth the wait!!
Do make sure to read Kiss Before Midnight BEFORE you read Kiss To Remember! I always though Callie and Hayden were cemented in my heart as my favorite couple in Blairwood, but Grace and Trent stole that spot. This book was so wonderful I just want to talk about it to everyone.
Grace has been through so much in her life and really only knows heartbreak. She has such a beautiful heart and has so much strength that’s she just can’t see. Trent was content with were his life was at, until one accidental encounter changes everything he thought. He is such a sweet heart and something about him just calls to me. There two are just meant to be. It’s destiny designed for Grace and Trent. This is such a special book that has such amazing writing.
I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series from Anna B Doe. These books are some of my favorites! I highly recommend this book for all to read! I honestly recommend the whole series!

O.M.G. Kiss to Remember literally brought me to tears! Grace’s story has been one I’ve been waiting for since Kiss at Midnight, and the snippets we’ve seen in other Blairwood University stories. Grace was literally breaking my heart!
Grace fell in love with a boy when she was 16 years old. One kiss was all it took for her. But Mason disappears after that night, and three later, Grace is ready to move on.
Trent comes in, and we have no idea who Trent is. Besides how he looks, Trent doesn’t know who Grace is, and it breaks Grace’s heart all over again. Mason is gone, and this Trent guy has had a girlfriend for years…definitely not Mason.
As Grace and Trent get to know each other, Grace is finally seeing that Trent isn’t Mason, and she might be falling in love with him.
Grace and Trent keep things from each other, important things that have defined moments of their past. When things start coming to light, Grace and Trent face a really harsh reality called the truth, but it’s not what your expecting!
This story was so incredible, I did not see any of this coming! Grace is such a sweet character, I hated to read about her getting her heart broken more, I wanted her to win for once. Trent was confusing, because I wanted him to be Mason, but the truth was shocking and a little crazy.
Honestly I absolutely love the Blairwood series, and I cannot wait for Alyssa and Maddox!!

4.5 stars This was delightfully heartbreaking. A real rollercoaster. You really need to read the prequel A Kiss At Midnight to get the full scope of this epic love story. I won't go into any more details because this...was wild. But it really goes to show what the power of love really is. It was the matter of a small issue that stopped me giving this a full 5 stars. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

This story is a second chance with a twist. This story is heartbreaking wrapped in goodness. This book catches your attention from the first chapter and keeps you wanting more. The twist in this story was beyond unexpected. Grace and Trenton is another amazing story in Blairwood Series.

I can't contain myself when I got an ARC of this story by Anna B. Doe. Truth is I have been reading fantasy books for about a couple of months now and I needed a break from that realm. When I got my hands on Kiss Before Midnight and Kiss To Remember, I remember how much I love romances, specifically college romances.
Mason was Grace's love, the one that had her heart beating a hundred miles per hour. But when he suddenly disappeared, she was in agony and pain for a couple of years. Until she was finally ready to move on. But could she really do that when she crossed paths with the man who resembles the one that "might have gotten away?"
I wish I could delve more into the story, but doing so would spoil everything. Let's just say, I had been teary-eyed the last couple of days, imagining everything that's happened between the characters, the interlacing plot that's got me thinking, "Wow, how did that happen!?" and yes, that kiss that deserved to be remembered. Everything written in this book is something that I couldn't or wouldn't forget. Oh, and it really helped that I was able to read the prequel, Kiss Before Midnight which was mind-blowingly intimate!
I don't know why I haven't read Anna B. Doe before... She is soooo good. This woman is a genius!

After reading a Kiss At Midnight, Grace’s story could not come fast enough. I was intrigued by her delicate sweetness and her desire to thrive. Grace’s story began in Until when she discovers she has a brother that is twenty years older. D.J. is very protective of Grace. Grace is a survivor. She can handle almost anything, but what she can’t, her brother and her friends are there to help her through. In Kiss At Midnight, we experience Grace’s first date with her first crush, Mason LeBlanc. It is the perfect date, until the next day. It becomes the pivotal point that sends Grace on a downward spiral. Kiss To Remember takes you on a twisting, crazy conundrum of a trip down memory lane. Now at Blairwood college, Grace is pursuing her future and no longer looking into the rearview mirror. Just as soon as she has a new outlook on life, she runs into Mason. Except it’s not Mason. It’s Trent Remington. I felt guilty for cheering on Trent and Grace. I still had a special place in my heart for Mason. Just when I started to accept Trent and Grace’s relationship, I was stopped in my tracks. This is where the mindf*** begins. Ms. Doe did a phenomenal job in blowing my mind and feeding the addiction of her already incredible stories. One-hundred stars!

Yeah uhmm... I don't really know what to say, except I didn't like it. I felt that the story was dragged out, and it bored the crap out of me. Skipped through way too much of the story, then I would like to admit.. but yeah, this wasn't really for me.
I received an ARC, and am leaving this review voluntarily. All opinions are my own.

Review: After I was introduced to the Blairwood gang in Kiss To Defy , I was really excited about meeting the other characters. And when Anna announced that she had one coming later this year, I jumped at the chance to read it. Please note, it is important to read the prequel novella Kiss Before Midnight (Anna has made it available for free!) to enjoy the full story in Kiss to Remember.
In the novella, we meet Grace Shelton and Mason LeBlanc as they slowly, but surely fall in love with each other. For Grace, crushing on Mason has been the one thing that’s holding her together. They use the same community centre and she’s watched him play basketball with his friends. But one day, when she’s sneaking a peek, he sees her and comes over. They talk and flirt and he asks her out. Despite her overprotective brother’s concerns, Grace goes out with Mason and they share the most magical kiss of her young life. With promises to see each other again, they part ways and then silence. Grace doesn’t hear from Mason and no matter how much she searches for him, she can’t seem to find him anywhere.
Fast forward to two years later and Grace is at Blairwood University when Kiss to Remember opens. She’s finally moving on from Mason and finding the little things in life that bring her joy. She’s taking life by the horns, except…Mason is there too. Under a different name––Trent. And he has no clue who she is.
I have to say, I was absolutely thrilled by the developments of this story. I did not expect half the twists and turns and I honestly predicted something else from the start, but I love how wonderfully Anna crafted this tale. Grace and Trent are such fantastic characters individually, but their friendship (and then relationship) is so beautifully written. There’s a lot of push and pull, a lot of fighting with yourself because neither of them know what is going on or how to handle the situation they find themselves in. Trent doesn’t know who Grace is––but he feels drawn to her. Grace doesn’t know how to separate her Mason and this Trent––because she sees the boy she loves in the eyes of this new guy. It’s angsty, it’s complicated and it’s so stressful too!
Writing a long review would give away so much of the story, but I’ll keep it simple. Grace’s pain and her struggles as she fought to keep her heart steady and her head on straight were so powerful. You can feel what she’s going through and for an author to suck you into the life of that character and make you feel her feels is a feat. She’s strong, though. For all the things that shake her up, Grace is a strong woman who loves her family and her friends, but loves fiercely in general. She’s a good person, offering to help even when it hurts her and standing by someone even if it wears her out. I also really liked Trent and his turmoil and confusion, this pull towards Grace––it’s all so intense.
Kiss to Remember was a different kind of second chance and I enjoyed watching it all come together. Grace’s friends are truly the best and I honestly want friends like that too. They were supportive and generous, they helped her make sense of her life and stood by her side through the good and the bad. I’m a big fan of characters having the best support group in stories and Grace had them in spades.
I can’t wait to read more Blairwood University stories and I can’t wait to meet more of the gang! Also, I am greedy for Jade’s story, because she seems like such a firecracker and whoever falls for her, better brace themselves.
Thanks to Anna B. Doe for generously providing me with an advance copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I’ve read every book in the Blairwood University series and enjoyed every one of them and this one is no exception. Grace Shelton received her first kiss at age 16 and it was perfect, however that moment of happiness did not last long, as Mason Leblanc, her date, disappeared from the face of the earth without leaving a trace. Now two years later she still remembers that bittersweet moment, yet her life continues. She does not expect to meet again with the boy who two years ago broke her heart... or so it seems because that boy is not Mason, but is identical to him. Trent Remington has the same physical characteristics as Mason: the same height, the same bearing, the same dark eyes, but he doesn't seem to know Grace. Yet something about her catches his eye. The problem? Trent has a girlfriend, a relationship of many years.
I certainly enjoyed this book. Anna B. Doe creates wonderful characters, and with that particular trait of making us feel their emotions, their happy moments and those that are not so happy. Grace lives a bittersweet love story. She is a talented girl, sweet but also has her character, so she can be very noble but she also does not let her dignity get lost. Besides, she has the support of her friends and family... here I want to say something because it is another of the things that I love about the author since she manages to introduce the characters from previous books and we can see a little more of their lives, for example , this book takes place alongside “Kiss to Defy”, so Rei and Zane also appear. And... J.D. and Sienna! Characters from “Until”, Book 2 of the New York Knights Series.
“Kiss to Remember” is unpredictable, with its nice touch of mystery, it's angsty, poignant, and totally worth it.
It’s now available! Oh, and it has a little prequel: "Kiss before Midnight" that would be convenient to read to fully enjoy this book.

This book was so much more than I had anticipated and I loved every second of it. I was already a fan of the Blairwood University series so when Anna reached out to see if I was interested in the latest installment I jumped at the chance and I am SO grateful because WOW.
We get a peek into the lives of those characters throughout, and get to see their stories unfold along side the story of Trent and Grace. Trent is a college basketball player who is trying to find his place in the world. He suffers from headaches occasionally, some of which are caused by the nagging of his girlfriend (couldn’t help the dig there) but some come from the moment he lies eyes on Grace. Grace is a realistic example of a girl who found and lost love and is trying to put herself back together again. She fell hard for a boy at her local community center at 16 and after their first date, first kiss, he disappeared without a trace. Worlds collide when Grace meets Trent, a carbon copy of the boy she loved, so how could she not fall for him when he’s just as charming and handsome as her Mason?
The friendships and family in this book were top tier. I love the support Grace has surrounding her. Not once did any of them make her think she is a burden or a nuisance. They let her express her emotions how she deemed fit and helped her along the way. It was amazing! Trent also had great friendships, some of which readers understand the significance of at the end.
This story was full of twists and turns that I was not excepting and got much deeper as well. I read a lot of surface level, just for the steam, type books but something I’ve said I the past is I admire Anna’s writing. She takes serious topics, some that may be uncomfortable for others, and forms these beautiful stories and character arcs that make readers think about our own character and traits.
So this is technically book 4 (but really more like 5) in the series and while I don’t think you necessarily NEED to read the rest of the series to enjoy this book but I do think you’ll appreciate the story significantly more if you do. Blairwood University is full of amazing characters who haven’t always had easy lives and they’re all worth a read. There is a novella that accompanies THIS book which is critical to understand the depth of the relationship between Grace and Mason.

Spellbinding, romantic, angsty, and phenomenal … Kiss To Remember is a beautifully written college sports romance with a tad of a forbidden element that will leave the reader completely enamored with the characters and their story. This novel is emotionally charged with a few soul crushing moments, but I also found myself swooning throughout the book. The author never fails to create characters that a real and that extends to not only the main characters, but to the secondary characters as well.
I loved the main characters! They are perfectly flawed and for various reasons, both are so easy to relate to. I adored Grace and the author portrayed her in such a way that I felt as though I was feeling what she was feeling. Our hero is fascinating and I enjoyed how the author developed his character. With a love transcending all time and their hearts tethered together, there was no denying their emotional connection nor their physical chemistry. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the secondary characters. I love camaraderie between all of the friends and the dynamic that they have together.
I have said it before and I will say it again - this author is a MASTER when it comes to crafting an engaging new-adult romance. She captures the perfect essence of what it like to be a young adult learning to navigate living alone, finding one’s place in society, and in developing mature relationships. College is a time where we move from the innocence of first loves and crushes to more mature relationships which is accurately depicted in this book. Kiss To Remember flows very well and moves at a good pace. A lot happens within the pages and there is never a dull moment! There are a few little twists that kept me on my toes and I really like how the author approached the more forbidden aspect of this book. If you have loved this author’s previous works or you enjoy college sports romances, then you will enjoy this book!
Note: Kiss Before Midnight must be read prior to Kiss To Remember or things will not make sense.
I voluntarily read an early version of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

Kiss To Remember is the 4th book in the Blairwood University series; you need to read the prequel Kiss Before Midnight to understand this book. I was enthralled with this series from the very beginning, and Ana B. Doe's writing keeps making me fall more in love every time.
This book will give you all the feels! This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. Kiss To Remember gave me angst, romantic and swoony moments, heartache, and some twist I didn't see coming; I also fell in love with both the characters.
Grace is such a sweet character, and I felt so much for her; she knows heartache, and she knows it well. After Mason disappeared, she had two awful years, but just when she is at Blairwood University ready to move on, the past will come back, or more like Mason will come back, but he is not really Mason, or is he?
Trent won me over; he didn't have it easy either. For Trent, studying at Blairwood University means finally getting some freedom from his overprotective parents; he also gets to play what he loves, but his parents and girlfriend don't support, Basketball. Things will get confusing, but he can't get Grace out of his head.
Grace & Trent have undeniable chemistry, but there's also a constant push and pull that added to the whole angst. The book flows amazingly; I loved reading about these two, their connection, and the way their relationship grows throughout the book.
I enjoyed this book so much! I totally recommend it to anyone that likes College Sports Romance with a slow burn. I can't wait to see what this author will bring next!

When I tell yall this book had me hooked in from the first couple of chapters, I mean it. Since reading the prequel novella, which I highly suggest you read before diving into this one, I've been wondering in which direction the author would take in this story.

Kiss to Remember follows Grace and Trent. Grace is heartbroken when Mason never shows up after their date and decides that she needs to move on when starting at Blairwood University. Although she felt an instant love connection with Mason, her heart is now being to mend again until bumping into Trent...who looks a lot like Mason.
-
Trent is back at Blariwood trying to break free from his parents to play his love of basketball but when he bumps into Grace, his whole world begins to crumble. Although having a girlfriend, he can't seem to get Grace out of his thoughts.

The angst in this book is beyond imagination. As much as I tried to figure out the clues, I couldn't The way the author wrote this will have you questioning what is happening. The Dual POV didn't help in case of trying to figure out what happened but the strengthens the mystery even more.

I could not set this down. It was such an amazing story with beautiful and heartbreaking writing. The pace was perfect and it gave second chance love a new meaning.

Before reading this book, it is advised to read the free novella Kiss Before Midnight. It will help you understand the story better and you’ll understand Grace better as well. This might be my favorite. if not, it definitely is one of my favorite books from Anna ever! This one helluvaa of an ANGSTY book!! I love angsty books and this one was just perfect. I was on the edge of my seat until the last few pages. Throughout this book I was just wrecking my brain with what was going on. It was also great to read about the other characters from Anna her series, I love that a lot of familiar characters are in this book. I fell in love with Grace before and she was just such a layered character, I love the development that she has gone through. I was completely immersed into the story from those first few pages. I highly recommend reading this book if you love angsty stories!

Before reading this book, it is advised to read the free novella Kiss Before Midnight. It will help you understand the story better and you’ll understand Grace better as well. This might be my favorite. if not, it definitely is one of my favorite books from Anna ever! This one helluvaa of an ANGSTY book!! I love angsty books and this one was just perfect. I was on the edge of my seat until the last few pages. Throughout this book I was just wrecking my brain with what was going on. It was also great to read about the other characters from Anna her series, I love that a lot of familiar characters are in this book. I fell in love with Grace before and she was just such a layered character, I love the development that she has gone through. I was completely immersed into the story from those first few pages. I highly recommend reading this book if you love angsty stories!

*ARC provided in exchange for an honest review
4.5 heartbreaking stars
Okay, okay, I gotta say…the beginning was a little sketchy, I was kind of skeptical but this book was the best of the series so far!
So, we have Grace, she’s a great heroine. My heart broke for her and I cried for her. It was heart wrenching watching her fall again just to be burned. Taylor Swift would have a great album about her 😅
And we have Trent… well, it’s not that he is bad, it’s just that I didn’t connect with him the same way I did with Grace, and the plot is definitely the reason why…
The plot was a little soap oppery but I was definitely engaged by it. Kept the mystery until the end and made my anxiety spike, well done, Anna!
Dropped 0.5 for the hero and the overdramatized plot
Ps: you have to read kiss before midnight before! It’s a prequel novella

Anna has made an absolutely beautiful addition to the series. Heartache, loss, lies, love, laughs, and resolution—this book has a bit of everything.
If your first love disappeared without a trace, what would you do?
Well, Grace finally decided to move on... only to bump into someone who then kept popping up in her life.
Trent reminded her so much of her lost love, her first love. He even looked the same. But if it was Mason, he would remember... right?!
Trent and Grace had a magnetic attraction, one they couldn't deny. Their relationship was easy (mostly) despite the hurt that Grace still harboured after what happened with Mason.
With hope—that getting some space from everyone at Blairwood would give them the time to relax together—they planned a date in NY. Only, it didn't work out the way they were hoping and their pasts collided with their present. So, Trent ran.
Does Trent disappear like Mason? Is Grace destined to lose another man she had grown to love?
When all is said and done, will Grace be enough for one—or both—of them?
Grab your emotional support animal and settle in for one hell of a book.
I didn't expect the twist that was delivered - there is more to this story than you could ever guess.

Wow, I don’t even have the words to properly express how amazing a Kiss to Remember was when I finished it. First off, if you never read a Kiss Before Midnight, read that first to have the full history that is needed to understand what happens in this book. Kiss to Remember will obliterate your heart, stomp on it, and slowly pick up the pieces and put it back together in a beautiful way that will fill you with all the feels. Grace is starting fresh at Blairwood. It’s time to move on and let go, but it’s hard to do when she runs into Trent, who brings back all the love and heartbreak she’s been trying to move on from. Trent is playing basketball and has a girlfriend. However, fate constantly has Grace and Trent running into each other and their lives becoming more and more entwined. But what happens when the past is too hard to let go from and a breaking point explodes? Trent and Grace are constantly dancing around each other even though Grace tries to avoid Trent, Trent can’t stay away. The push and pull between these two is so intense and add in all the angst, you’ll be devouring this book. Grace and Trent’s journey is not an easy one, it will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more and giving you emotional whiplash, but it worth it. Kiss to Remember will be one that stays with me after I’ve finished.
