«Kiss Me Softly» by Cecilia Gray

A brand new series from the author of The Gentlemen Next Door, praised for being a «delightful Regency romp… in the spirit of Georgette Heyer.»

Cecilia Gray has taken my heart for a spin! I've REALLY enjoyed this journey–and being able to watch it unfold from every sibling's POV! There's something to be said for Cecilia Gray's work–she ensnares with just a few words, and keeps readers enthralled throughout. . —Betwixt the Pages

Meet Seraphina Belle—the Belle Belle—whose face has launched a legion of metaphorical ships. Since her birth caused her mother's death, she's determined to be the perfect daughter. As a dowager duchess at the height of respectability, she is known for turning out perfect matches… until he threatens to ruin her perfect reputation.

Meet Christian Hughes—bastard—not that you'd say it to his face. The famed pugilist has always solved his problems with his fists, which is probably why he's never gotten over his fascination with Sera. He has always assumed she was out of his reach, until a scandal brings her close—and the only way out of it is together.

ABOUT THE KISS A BELLE SERIES

Five supportive sisters.

Five friendly gentlemen.

Five stolen kisses.

Everyone has kissed someone, but who has kissed whom?

Secrets of the past will become very much present as arrangements are made and proposals fly in this charming, Regency-style series. While all of the stories can be enjoyed as standalones, you may want to read them all. Books 1–3 occur concurrently and can be read in any order; Books 4 and 5 follow respectively. 

Book 1: Kiss Me AfterBook 2: Kiss Me DarklyBook 3: Kiss Me SweetlyBook 4: Kiss Me SoftlyBook 5: Kiss Me Again

Characters you meet in Kiss A Belle are also featured in The Gentlemen Next Door. Each of these shorter, sweet stories can be enjoyed as a standalone, but if you love one, then you'll probably love the entire series of novellas.

PRAISE FOR THE KISS A BELLE SERIES

This very romantic love story is unwaveringly sweet and unquestionably beautiful. A period piece that spans the years…begins with a question mark and ends with a happy exclamation. Brilliant!—Beyond the Pages Review

Depth and growth and a subtle finding of love and friendship. —Posh Tomes Review
