After Sawyer Rivera’s well-planned career in Seattle officially imploded all he’s looking for is a small beach town where he can open a dog training facility and start a simple life. Except, his new office assistant is anything but. Grace is carefree, artsy, and doesn’t know a thing about dogs. The woman has pet chickens! She’s also funny, kind, and the best part of his day.

Sawyer realizes he has just one chance to try to change their fate.

My thoughts:
If you are looking for a light and quick read to help you get out of your reading slump, Just One Kiss is perfect. Based on the opposites attract trope, it is a clean romance with unique characters. It also features rescue dogs, service dogs, an autistic child, and a few veterans with with Post Tramautic Stress Disorder who are given a chance to feel useful and appreciated. Grace Sheldon, a freelance photographer, who grew up in a communce with her free-spirited parents inherits a lovely house overlooking a beautiful beach. Her grandmother wanted this house to be a safety net for her children, should they ever need a roof over their heads. The only problem is that there is also a substantial debt of unpaid taxes that Grace needs to pay. Otherwise, the bank is going to foreclose on the property. Grace has thirty days to come up with the money or lose her home. She takes up a temp job of setting up an office for a new business in the town, although her paychecks aren't going to come anywhere close to what she owes. nowhere close to what she owes. Sawyer Rivera is a celebrity dog trainer who needs to keep a low profile for a few months. His ex-girlfriend has been dragging his name in the press and he might lose all his contracts, unless she gets tired of spreading lies about him. Sawyer decides to go back to what he does the best and open a dog training camp. He also employs homeless veterans who have fallen on hard times and are in need of honest employment and a square meal. He even takes up a rescue dog without having met him (he is that confident in his training system). Lovable, but undoubtfully naughty Bert would melt anyone's heart. Bert manages to break Grace's expensive photo camera and this is how our protagonists meet. There is a spark, of course, and there is undeniable difference of lifestyle, financial situation, attitudes, and dispositions. Grace is independent and has been raised to feel suspicious of any kind of rules or authorites, while Sawyer, an ex-marine, believes in discipline and getting things done systematically. Can Grace and Sawyer find things in common and let their differences bring the best in them? Can they appreciate how kind-hearted and generous both of them are? and will Grace be able to save her grandmother's home? I enjoyed this romantic escape into sunshine, walks on the beach, training service dogs (I didn't know that dogs can help people on the autism spectrum regulate their emotions), and a bit of drama. I guess I won't spoil your enjoyment of the story if I say that there is a HEA (although I'd say a HFN would be more realistic given the timeframe). Traci Hall clearly knows how to write an entertaining and sweet romance. Thank you to Netgalley, Entangled Publishing and Indiesage PR for the review copy.
