Customer Reviews

A thoughtful, passionate, entertaining romance novel.

Donna Schaff's Just One Kiss is an entertaining romance novel of a man and a woman who simply don't care for each other in the beginning - but with passing time and new challenges, each finds the courage love again. At different times warm, contradictory, or philosophical, Just One Kiss is a thoughtful, passionate, highly recommended presentation of stubborn personalities and heartfelt sentiment.

You've done it again!!

Once again Ms. Schaff has done it again. As with her first book "Priceless" everytime I put it down I was drawn back to it. I just had to find out what was going to happen next. I found the non-rushed pace of the "budding romance" refreshing. I mostly enjoyed the author's sense of humor. Although I am not a big reader of romance I most definitely will continue to look for Ms. Schaff's work and am eagerly awaiting her next venture.

Another Winner by Donna Schaff

Ms. Schaff has done it again! Like her first book, Priceless (which was a RITA finalist for Best First Book), this is one you can't put down. Just One Kiss is wonderful. This author has a magical story-telling ability; she delivers adventure and passion in a superbly paced, emotional tale of two people, each with their own painful secrets. They don't like each other in the beginning; they clash, they try to out-manuever each other, yet they're destined to become lovers. Ms. Schaff creates heart-breaking, memorable characters who play off one another beautifully, with wit and humor and deep emotion. In my opinion, she's one the best historical romance writers in the genre. I can't wait for the next book!

She's done it again!

Absolutely fantastic! Ms. Schaff's first book "Priceless" was wonderful, and she has definitely exceeded my expectations in "Just One Kiss"! Ms. Schaff's ability to effectively build tension, anxiety, and excitement culminated in the best historically-based romance novel I have ever read. I finished this book in one day because it is so hard to put down. Now I'm reading it a second time and I am thoroughly enjoying every word. I cannot wait for the next one! Keep writing Ms. Schaff, for you certainly have that talent.
