I got this book purely based on the cover by queen Brittany Keller.

This book is a collection of short-steamy romance stories, varying in length. They are well written, and despite their short length the characters are fleshed out. Day achieved exactly what she was aiming for when writing this collection, and I thought it was a great read in between heavier books. (The story 'The Professor' made me laugh. I need a comedic story about Llewellyn.)

Day's writing is evocative and sensuous, with a strong focus on character emotions. Her writing is both engaging and descriptive, capturing the intensity of the romantic and intimate moments between the characters. It's a compelling and enjoyable read that will keep you hooked until the last page.

Kiss and Make Love by Luna Day is a collection of short steamy stories. This is delivered exactly what the description said it would. The cover is stunning, and what drew me into the book. Personally, I only truly enjoyed one story and that was The Professor. I enjoyed the plot in this a lot as well as all the tension building and waiting until the end the term. I would love for that short story to be expanded into its own book. Honestly I sped read most of the other short stories, none capturing my attention in the same way. My taste in reading may have been changing, as I need plot and spice spilt evenly, which could have impacted why I didn’t connect with the other stories.
Thank you Net Galley & Luna Day for this arc!!

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I enjoyed these short stories! I appreciated the variety of stories and that there were some of all different lengths for you to choose how long of a story you wanted to read! Very unique! Most of these are spicy with a few that weren’t. The writing was funny at times and emotional at others! I was invested!

I’m not a huge novella person for the fact that I love a story to sink into. There were a few stories that felt full but many that I just wanted and needed more of! I would have love to see several of them elaborated on!

My favorites were The Professor and The Rivals!

I would recommend this to readers who enjoy fast burn and romantic novellas! Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy film to review.

Loved the story the fantasy the characters.
Highly recommend can't wait to buy it.
Couldn't put it done.

Luna does it again!! I loved this collection of short stories and all the spice they gave!! Luna’s writing for me is just so good!

Incredible! I loved every story in this. The first and the last ones were really quite sweet, and I liked how they sandwiched the whole anthology. This book provided a little of everything, but every story has a theme of an attitude of sexual positivity and romance/lust. It was just really well written, and I never wanted the stories to end! My favorites may have been The Book Club, The Professor, The Rivals, and The Fantasy!

Kiss and Make Love by Luna Day is a spicy yet sweet collection of short stories. The first and last stories are connected; however, the rest of the stories can be read in any order. I chose to read them in the order that was presented which ended up flowing nicely. Once started, I couldn’t put it down. In the table of contents, it rated the stories by length and spiciness, so the reader has an option to choose a story that will fit their timeframe or desired spice level. I’ve never seen that before in a collection of stories and thought it was a nice touch. I enjoyed reading all of the stories; there wasn’t one that felt like it didn’t fit or dragged. I would definitely recommend this collection for those who enjoy reading romance. The stories were wonderful snippets into different areas of relationships.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for access to an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Luna Day for sending me an ARC! 💝 Thank you so much 🙏

OMG, I did not expect to love this book so much! I think "The Professor" was probably my favourite! 😍 The writing is SO GOOD, and it's super HOT! 🔥 I couldn't put it down 📚. The age gap—in "The Professor"—was totally my thing, and it made the story even more interesting 😏. If you want something fast and steamy, you have to read this. 4.5 stars for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨💖

This was so fun! A really cute little collection of novellas. I can't wait to see what Luna Day writes next.

A gorgeous collection of mini stories, that absolutely melted the heart, and was the right amount of erotic, a fabulous combination, and I loved the beginning finishing off at the ending. Great touch.

Thank you to the author, publisher and netgalley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book with multiple short stories that I've read. I was a bit nervous to get into it, unsure if I could make the switch so easily and frequently. Because once I'm into a story, it's hard for me to get out of it.

But this collection does it so wonderfully. Some of the stories are spicier than others. Some are slower burns than others. But if you'e looking for a simple contemporary romance read, this isn't it. Keep a tall glass of water nearby, because things get hot. My favorite story is number 2 -- we see the professor + student trope. But if that's not your thing, there's plenty more for you to dive into and enjoy in Kiss and Make Love.

There are 10 short stories. Of the 10, 4 were 5-star reads for me. 3 were 4-star reads. 2 were 3-stars. Only 1 wasn't my cup of tea.
Additional tropes you'll experience include exhibitionism, library, brother's bff/bff's sister, and enemies (rivals) to lovers. Some stories are shorter than others. You'll find a few with character development. There's a story here for everyone, and each one is worth a read!

Each story starts with a quote to set the mood. Each piece has a theme and focus of its own. There's no confusion where one story ends and the other begins. It's great if you're unable to read a whole book at once, because there are literal separate stories instead of chapters. So I can see this being a fun read for a new parent or general reader trying to get back into reading more frequently.

Kiss and Make Love 💋 by Luna Day
Thank you @netgalley for this ARC, this is my honest review!
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
💭 My thoughts:
The Early Morning After ⭐️
It was really fast and felt more poetic with hidden meaning but wasn’t for me.
The Professor ⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Good boy” 😳This was very spicy with age gap, and lots of edging. They waited until she wasn’t his student. I just feel like it was missing something.
The Book Club ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a friends to lovers short story. I thought it was cute and very spicy! I liked the love of books incorporated into it. In a library is such a fantasy 😈
The Exhibitionist⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Woooh that was a spicy one! That is a fantasy I definitely want to try 🥵
The Fantasy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This one was pretty adventurous. I liked it and how it ended a lot.
The Rivals ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a MM rivals to lovers romance. So good! it’s rare when i enjoy MM romance so that’s saying a lot.
The Road Trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was brother’s best friend and forced proximity. This felt smoother to read than the others and I liked it! I wish we got to see the brother’s reaction.
The Speed Date ⭐️⭐️⭐️
That was a cute turn of events!
The Same Train of Thought ⭐️⭐️
I wish there was more here, felt very random and not so memorable.
The Early Morning Return ⭐️⭐️
It makes sense to end with this here, just didn’t find it to my liking.

I recommend this if you’re looking for some short spicy stories.

This book was very well thought through! I was hooked from the first page…. I fell in love with the characters and the emotions I felt through out this, was crazy! I loved all the tropes and I would definitely recommend

“Kiss and Make Love” by Luna Day

3.5⭐️/5⭐️
Varies by story/5🌶

-This is a collection of short stories with varying levels of steam and spice. There are ten chapters, most are MF couples, but there are stories featuring FF and MM couples. I appreciate the author providing readers with a guide for story length and spice level, because I’m the type of person who likes to jump around in story collections.

-My favorite stories ended up being “The Book Club” and “The Same Train of Thought”, which are both on the shorter side. “The Book Club” is rather spicy, but was so much fun to read! And “The Same Train of Thought” was very sensual.

-I think this is a fine collection to reach for if you’re in between reads, or crave something on the shorter side. There really is something for everyone, the author did an excellent job catering to different interests.

A collection of flash fiction that feature diverse characters in sweet and steamy settings. These feel good, fast burn stories deliver bite-sized erotic romance. I was left feeling heart warmed, horny, and optimistic about love. We hit a lot of solid tropes including professor x student, hot librarian, fleeting encounters that turn into more, sports rivals, and my personal favorite, brother’s best friend. Despite the stories being so short, I still felt I connected with the characters and that they held dimension. The spicy scenes were varied and solid. An excellent portfolio of the author’s writing and a great low angst high steam read. I’d recommend this to anyone needing a feel good spicy palate cleanser book, a book that allows for easy put down and pick up, and people that need fast paced plots.
I was given this ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Thank you NetGalley.

I think the idea of a romantica, series of novellas all squished into one book is so fun! Luna somehow managed to pack a whole lot of spice into this while still writing characters you feel like you can connect with in so few words. I also thought it was fantastic that each story came with its own spice rating so you knew exactly what to expect.

The authors note was so sweet too and made me appreciate the whole book even more.

I would recommend it if you want some bite size spicy romances that you can read through at your own pace and pick and choose depending on how spicy you feel.

Thanks to Love Lit Press for the ARC ❤️

If you like it hot, this is the book for you! A wonderful collection of erotica with something for every taste. The stories are short and very well written. I was amazed at the depth of story line for each one in so few pages. I found myself wishing for a full length novel in most of the stories - especially the student/professor interlude. It is very easy to imagine this one continuing on with their relationship. I definitely enjoyed each and every one, but I think my favorite was the writer and baker. It ends on a cliff hanger and I wanted more! Luna Day did an amazing job and I will be looking for more in the future.

What a fun, steamy and spicy read. This was perfect timing and was able to read it on a relaxing evening in. Highly enjoyable short stories. Thank you so much for this awesome ARC opportunity.

If there’s one thing that will get me out of a reading slump, it is short erotica and this collection was perfect.

Thank you to Netgaley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

I'm going to talk about the book as a whole and then each individual story!! I think overall I really enjoyed this. I've never read a spicy anthology before so I really enjoyed this. What I also really loved was how in the table of contents there was a little image to show how long each story was and the heat level! It really set my expectations for the story so I wouldn't be upset if there wasn't anything spicy in the story. I have to be honest though, even if the spice level was 0 or 1 the stories were genuinely really good. I found each one of them very thrilling and cute and I'm so glad I picked up this novel!

1.The Early Morning After: This is probably the shortest story in here but I actually liked it more than I thought. If I was someone who did one-night stands I think this is how I would feel about them too.

2. The Professor: SWEET LORD. Probably my favorite one of the bunch!!! The characters were interesting and so was the plot. I really, really loved Spencer and Brett! I also love a good professor/Student romance WHEN IT'S DONE RIGHT. The guy can't be too old and the girl can't be fresh out of high school (which Spencer wasn't). Even the side characters were really good in this story too.

3. The Book Club: This one was so sweet and I enjoyed how it was from Theo's POV. He was clearly so enamored with her and unable to see that she was flirting back that it made me laugh a little.

4. The Exhibitionist: UMMM WOW! OKAY! DAMN! The heat level for this one SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MARKED AS 3 IN MY OPINION. I thought it was at least a 4 possibly even 5 but I think I'm a Layla and that's why I liked this so much lol.

5.The Fantasy: Oh Georgia is soooo me. Not her fantasizing about a man in a crowded coffee shop but girl... I understand. Sometimes the daydreams just overtake you!

6. The Rivals: This one was great! Alex and Cooper were really hot together. This was the only M/M story in here and I really enjoyed it. Always had a thing for sports rivals and this is one of the better stories.

7: The Road Trip: I love a good brothers best friend romance and this one was so good!! Gabriel and June were adorable. I loved their dynamic together and even though the circumstances in which they came together weren't great they made the best out of a bad thing!

8. The Speed Date: THIS STORY WAS SO DAMN CUTE BOTH MEGAN AND QUINN WERE EVERYTHING AND IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER TO ME THAT THERE WAS 0 SPICE. I LOVED THEM SO MUCH.

9. The Same Train of Thought: This was a sweet story I initially thought both characters (who are unnamed) were women and was a little disappointed that they weren't but I still enjoyed it.

10. The Early Morning Return: This is a call back to the first story (so it's also very very short) but you follow the same two nameless characters who are now married!! It was honestly a very nice ending to this whole anthology and I really loved it.
