My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Unrequited Series. It is a beautifully written friend to lovers romance. The author does an amazing job with her character. You can’t help but fall in love with them. You can feel the love and connection between them from the first page. Both characters have drama and trials in their life’s but their constant has always been each other.

After a night drinking heavily things cross the line. They both confess their love for each other and you can feel the contentment and love between them through the authors writing. Could this be the start of a beautiful romance or will the cold light of day ruin everything?

This is one romance you won’t be able to put down. You are drawn into the characters story and at times you feel like banging their heads together because you know they are perfect for each other. Will they see that in the end?

Ava Alise takes us an amazing journey of being best friends to more.
Jordan and Xia were best friends from conception in the womb. Every good memory and moment was one they shared and celebrated together. Each had feelings for other but kept that silence scared to cross the line. Every moment of the friendship took them to the present and reflected how perfect they would be together. When a drunken night turns into more it soon becomes a scared reality for each. Is this meant to be, or was this mistake. Throw in family struggles, lost loves, meddling ex-girlfriends, and friends cheering on the sidelines.
Jordan and Xia were young but mature. Watching their love unfold wa beautiful and it lit that spark that love like that does and can exist. Its a book I highly recommend.

In His Kiss was a great read and I really enjoyed it. The authors writing was engaging, easy to read and the storyline was good. I liked that characters, Jordan and Xia, and I think because their story spanned a long time in their lives, I really felt like I understood how they felt about each other. It wasn’t straight forward, there were some complexities to it but I couldn’t help myself from rooting for them. I could really feel the inner turmoil of both of them when it came to what would happen if they crossed the line and it ruined their strong friendship forever.

I am really looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future. @katie

I definitely enjoyed the first book in this series. Ava Alise does a great job of making us fall in love with the main characters of this story. I was wondering “will they, won’t they?” on nearly every page. It’s got the “boy-next-door” vibes since Jordan and Xia grew up across the street from each other. Best friends in every sense of the phrase. Watching the one you love while they love someone else is difficult – and I think we have all been there. I caught myself not even bothering to stop reading until I had consumed the whole book. And now all I want is to read the next one because the ending to this one made me INSANELY curious about what could happen next! Don’t miss out, binge this book TODAY!

In His Kiss is an incredible angsty and steamy friends to lover’s romance read that I enjoyed from start to finish. It was dramatic, emotional, captivating and action packed. I loved how this author managed to connect me with the characters from the get go, they were really relatable so it made it easy to picture everything playing out in my mind.

I enjoyed how this story followed Xia and Jordan, along with the many secondary characters, there was truly never a dull moment. I look forward to reading more about this group of friends in the coming books of the series.

In His Kiss is book one in the Unrequited series by Ava Alise. This author is new to me and I was really excited to find out what her style was. And this genre is one of my favourites, so sinking into this story was bliss. I love nothing more than to read a romance where the characters are best friends and discovering these feelings they have for each other. Then all the emotions that come with it. There is the realisation. The denial. The resistance. The struggling. The fighting. The acceptance. The contentment. The belonging. The happy ending. In His Kiss had all the elements of a fantastic romance. The attraction and connection that existed between the characters was decadent, and the evolution of their love story was captivating, stimulating and impressive. New authors bring new writing styles and stamp their own signature on the genre. And I cannot get enough. A brilliant and well presented story that has me craving more. 5 stars.

In His Kiss by Ava Alise a fab four-star read. This is number one in the Unrequited series, and I am eager for more, this has everything it needs to be brilliant, angst, passion, drama, heart wringing emotions, friends to lovers. It just didn’t have characters I loved all the way through. There is lots going on with this story, and different story lines, but its easy to keep them clear as you read. Xia and Jordan will have your emotions running all over. Number two can’t come soon enough for me, as once I got to know everyone well, and started to really like them, I couldn’t wait for more.

Xia and Jordan are the best of friends and have been since their diaper days. Xia has been in love with Jordan for years, but he only sees her as his best friend…or so she thinks. After a night of drinking they cross the line from friendship to something more. Will they be able to remain friends or will their night together make things too awkward to remain friends? Will either of them be willing to admit that what they said while drunk was real? Read the story of Xia and Jordan to find out.

It was enjoyable as well as a quick and easy read. It helped me to pass the time on a quiet night during my NOC shift.

In His Kiss is the first book by Ava Alise I have read. I enjoyed the complex relationship between Xia and Jordan. Having been friends from childhood, as college students they have fallen for each other but neither want to ruin the relationship they have by admitting their feelings. Deeper in this book it deals very sensitively with the subject of depression. This is a touch subject that we have a hard time dealing with even though mental health has become such a hot topic. She does a great job dealing not only with the people who have depression, but the surrounding characters and how they deal with the issue. I absolutely enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next one in this series.

Xia and Jordan have been friends since they were in diapers but somewhere along the way, each fell for the other. Because of fear, youth and bad timing, neither was ready to reveal their feelings until one night with a drink or two too many. Will it ruin the lifelong friendship?

Xia’s life is falling apart. Jordan was there, as always, to catch and support her. He is reeling from this latest discovery, as well, because their families have always been so close. Jordan knows that he has to keep it together to be there for Xia as she copes with this family disaster. Xia was there for him 2 years ago for his own family tragedy. She had always been there. Jordan knew there would never be a question if he would be there for her, he just hoped that it would be more than friends.

Ava Alise delicately wrings out the emotions of the reader. I became a part of the friend group with Roman, King, Cherry and Kenzie. I was a student in class with Professor Satchi. I hated Ben and supported Della. Ava Alise handles the mental health issues of her characters with respect, appreciation and love.

I can’t wait for Book Two!

I have to say I love when I find a new author like Ava Alise and I am blown away by their writing. In His Kiss was more than I was expecting, these characters had me glued to the pages and holding my breath to see what was going to happen next.

Jordan and Xia have been best friends for years but one night something changed, was this change good or just a mistake? But if two people have been holding on to feelings for one another, is it a mistake?

Jordan and Xia were meant to be together, these two were in sync and you could tell there was love between them. I’m looking forward to getting to know their friends more in their books.

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one. This series just keeps getting better and better. I highly suggest you read the first book as well as it is just as great. This is a well written story about Nya and King and the past they had and the future in front of them. They are relatable and made the story come to life. I enjoyed their growth and the chemistry they share. They made such great characters. Nya and King had a past but now as adults, Nya is faced with the lies she told and her new room mate who happens to be King. What will fate have in store for these two? I highly recommend reading this book to find out.

In His Kiss (Unrequited Series Book 1) by Ava Alise
Genre – Contemporary Romance. New Adult. Trope Romance
Page Count – 260 pages
This was a mistake. The four words every girl wants to hear after sleeping with the guy you’ve crushed on your entire life.
Jordan was my best friend, my everything, and the guy I dreamed of one-day marrying.
Then it happened.
One drink led to two, and the way he looked at me told me everything I ever needed.
I wasn’t imagining things. He felt the same way.
He didn’t stop me when I gathered my courage and told him how I felt. He didn’t stop me when I kissed him and he kissed me back.
But he made sure to stop me the next morning with those four little words.
“This was a mistake.”
But was it?
