Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Fun, short vinaigrettes that are easy to read. Loved the wide range of tropes, spice levels and pacing!

Kiss and Make Love is a steamy, fast-paced collection of short stories and flash fiction that will appeal to readers looking for a mix of romance and erotica with a variety of tropes. Written by Luna Day, this collection takes readers on a whirlwind journey through lust, passion, and love. It offers a range of narratives that move quickly from flirtation to intense intimacy, delivering on its promise of “fast burn” romance. If slow burn romances are your preference, this collection may not resonate, but for those craving immediate and sizzling chemistry, it certainly delivers.

The stories cover a wide range of scenarios, including student-teacher dynamics, sports rivals, and even unspoken desires in everyday settings. The diversity extends to the spice levels and relationship types, with most stories focusing on MF pairings but including MM and FF stories to add more layers of representation. What stands out most is the boldness with which Day explores taboo topics, pushing boundaries while still rooting each story in emotional beats and romance tropes.

One of the strengths of Kiss and Make Love is how it blends romance with eroticism, making it more than just a collection of steamy encounters. Readers are given a chance to see relationships develop, even in these fast-moving tales. The connection between characters feels authentic, with passion building rapidly but not at the expense of emotional depth.

For example, the story about a college student and her professor explores not just the erotic tension but the complexities of a secret femdom relationship, layering power dynamics with genuine affection. The rivalry between rugby players adds a physical and emotional intensity that feels as raw on the field as it does off. Meanwhile, a shy writer’s fantasies about her neighborhood baker give a fresh, playful twist to romantic storytelling, adding moments of tenderness amidst the heat.

Overall, Kiss and Make Love is a thrilling dive into the unpredictable nature of attraction and desire. The stories are well-crafted, offering a quick but fulfilling escape for fans of erotica and romance alike. Luna Day doesn't hold back, and that daring approach is what makes this collection stand out.

Final Thoughts:
If you’re in the mood for stories that don’t waste time getting to the heart of desire but still offer genuine romantic moments, this collection is for you. With a variety of spice levels and relationship dynamics, there’s something here for anyone ready to embrace a fiery and intense reading experience. Just be prepared: sparks will fly!

This was so sexy and so good! I already recommended this to several friends of mine! It's a perfect short spicy read.

omggg this was really good. i love the short stories and it was just overall so solid and cute! definitely gonna add this to my collection

Thank you NetGalley for this Kindle edition ARC!
First and foremost the spice, 🌶️🌶️🌶️ was delicious. What a fun read, and I love that each chapter is a new story so you can come and go from the book and start a new story! This is probably the first book I’ve read of this genre, and I would buy this when it comes out and put it my nightstand(for personal reason lol) I also liked how there were different ratings of spice for each chapter, so not every part of the book it’s hot and heavy. Overall, very fun read and would recommend! Thank you Luna Day!

I was intrigued when I saw 'Kiss and Make Love' on Netgalley - a collection of romantic and spicy short stories, seemingly erotica but with more plot.

This book gave me so much more than just smut though. The way the author was able to weave a full story in such a short way was beautiful and addictive and had me finishing it all in one day. Some stories in this collection are a full meal, such as The Professor, giving us a novella worthy story across a span of time. Whereas others, like The Book Club, are a rich dessert, perfect for quick reading when you just need a little something to get a blush rising.

There was heart and soul in the stories, along with a fantastic balance of spice across the collection, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

DNF

It's not my cup of tea but I loved how the author put a spice scale for every short story in the beginning of the book and the writing style was smooth

I really loved this collection of stories SO much! It gives you a little bit of every romance trope in bite size pieces and I loved it.

This was a lovely collection of short stories filled with romance!

I liked how each story introduced such vivid characters and made it so easy to see why and how the couples they brought together worked.

I would definitely recommend reading this book over a long period of time and indulging in each story separately and not too quickly after the other - really giving each story its time to marinate in your mind :)

This was a sizzling collection of short stories that’ll leave you craving more!
Each story explores different facets of desire and romance, from a steamy forbidden affair between a college student and her professor to a fiery rivalry on and off the rugby field.
The collection even dives into some naughty fantasies involving a shy writer and her favorite bakery.
The stories are super engaging. The writing pulls you right into the action.
My only complaint? I wish each story was longer—so good it kept me hooked from start to finish.

Luna Day's Kiss and Make Love is a compilation of ten short, steamy tales that explore various facets of desire and romance. Each story offers a unique blend of passion, intrigue, and steamy scenes.
Some of the forbidden romances included like student and professor, Rival Athletes are my favourite.
This book is a perfect palate cleanser and finished it in one setting.

Kiss and Make Love is a sizzling collection of short stories that delivers on the spice, with each tale offering something a little different in terms of heat. I especially enjoyed how many of the stories revolved around characters secretly harboring feelings for each other, leading to spontaneous, unplanned encounters. The inclusivity in this collection is another highlight, featuring a range of relationships, including same-sex and age-gap dynamics. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this steamy read!

A collection of spicy short stories? Yes please!

These were great for reading in between longer stories. I loved that there was a guide to how long each story would be.

The stories were varied and unique, and I liked that they featured different relationship dynamics.

I absolutely love this book! It was first time reading short story collection. It didn’t disappoint, I’m usually a slow burn kinda of gal but I just love how it was straight to business! I read a few of the stories between other books I really enjoyed them as pallet cleansers!!!

Overall, this collection was a perfect palate cleanser between longer reads, and the Table of Contents was a nice touch, giving a quick overview of each story’s steam level. If you’re in the mood for something light and fun, this is a great pick.

I really enjoyed this. I loved the fact it was a series of short spicy stories and you can read them in any order. I also loved the index page so you can see the length and spiciness per story. Very well written, would definitely read more from this author.

I didn't know how I'd feel about a collection of short stories but these were so great!

As I expected, I liked some more than others, and some I wanted their full length story!

It's a mix of longer and shorter stories, with varying degrees of spice, and a mix of MF, FF, and MM so there really is a little bit of something for everyone.

Plus this COVER???? Ugh, so gorgeous.
