Read My Lips by Kelle Riley


 Book Excerpt:

"“Good cocoa is like good lovemaking. It’s best when it’s hot, sweet, and a little spicy.” Kelle Z. Riley (Undercover Cat series) channels humor and emotion in one luxurious dessert. Read My Lips (Sept. 7, 2021) is a lush romance gripped with desire from the very first page. 

Claire Lennox has sworn off rich, powerful men ever since her former boyfriend used her to climb the corporate ladder leaving her emotionally jaded and her career in ruins. Contractually obligated to stay within the company, she accepts a position as the director of the McClaine Literacy Foundation and remains dedicated to her work, never removing her professional guise.

Self-made billionaire, Clayton Arthur McClaine, has it all. Since selling his famous “fantasy fudge” recipe, he’s created a chocolate empire from humble beginnings. But one issue stands in Clayton’s way; his struggle with dyslexia. Desperate to resolve this before his rivals find out, he disguises himself as a factory worker to visit his own literacy foundation. Clayton didn’t expect his immediate attraction to Claire and her inability to see beyond his deception. 

As Clayton continues to visit Claire, their involvement juggles between steamy sessions and unresolved feelings. But with every encounter, Clayton’s mask slips a little, and it’s only a matter of time before Claire finally sees his true self. Finally, “The Princess Diaries” meets a modern-day “Bridgerton,” Read My Lips will leave you breathless, sated, and ready for more."

Review:
"Read My Lips" by Kelle Riley
My Opinion:

"Read My Lips" I love you was all that Clayton could say after all that had gone on with him and the lovely Claire after it was all said and done. I enjoyed the story with all that came from these two, Clayton and Claire, who seems to be made for each other. Yes, we find Clayton dealing with his dyslexia and going to the McClaire Literary Clinic using another name...Artie Michaels and this is where Claire comes into the picture. With all that was going on with these two, when it was time to come clean about his situation, it would have been better if Artie [Clayton] would have told her the whole truth right then. This was needed since Claire seemed to have problems with trust issues from her last encounter with an ex-boyfriend, and this would have also helped in the overall plot of the story. It would have enabled Clayton in the end; however, as these sweet romances can go, you will have to pick up this novel to see how and if this author could get it all straightened out in the end.

I want to thank Independently Published and Netgalley for the book's arc and for giving my honest review.
