Thank you to NetGalley, Luna Day, and the publishers for allowing me this opportunity.

I was among the many people who loved Three Hearts Hideaway. I was beyond excited for Luna Day’s next book. I’m not usually a fan of collection stories because you don’t get attached to the characters. But the way that Luna writes these stories is so captivating and sensual. I loved just about every story in this collection. I loved them so much that I wish their stories were longer. Please, give this erotica collection a try. You will not regret it.

A really good book full of short stories. Some have a lot of spice in, others have minimal. I wish some of them where made into longer stories as the characters and their attraction to one another was intriguing.

Loved this short story collection. Each story showed some sort of passion, from a variety of people and how passion can look differently to others. Sometimes it's the sweet little moments that matter most, that change your life for the better. I loved the romance aspect these stories had.

I absolutely loved this book and all of the short stories I read. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to read this because it is the first book in a long time that I’ve spent hours reading without moving from my spot. I really liked that in the beginning of the book, it listed how long each story was and the spice level. I would absolutely recommend this!

SAY LESS. LIKE I WILL NOT ACCEPT NEGATIVE COMMENTS. I know everyone drinks a different cup of tea but I think this should be everyone's cup of tea. 6 stars....... Not only was there spice but a plot. I dont always read for the plot but I oved this one way more then I expected.

This was adorable! And sexy. And sweet. And fun. Look, it’s a collection of short stories so you actually get a little bit of everything! You also get a variety of pairings - most of the stories are MF, but there was an FF and an MM in there. The spice level also varied from none to high steam erotica.

My personal favourite was The Rivals - but there were a few standouts in this collection! The Fantasy had some fantastic smut.

There is really something for everyone in this collection! I’m sure everyone can find something that appeals to their tastes here.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this!

4.5 rounded up

This was so much fun! It's a decent sized collection of short stories with different ranges of spice, relationship types and tropes.

I really liked the idea of the first and last story needing to be read in their specific places but any other story could be read in whatever order you want. The book has a very easygoing vibe. It's really good as an inbetweener/palette cleanser, you can read the short stories here and there or you can read it all in one go.

The writing style is smooth and flowed really well, while some stories you feel like you're thrown into the middle of a scene, it just feels right and it's the perfect length to give you want you need (and possibly having you wanting more in the best way).

Not bad at all!!! It’s the perfect anthology for every romance reader who’s simply there for a good time not a long time. Spicy as heck and entertaining. Fully of people different from one another and yet same in how passionate they are for their significant other. I enjoyed reading it !! I really did !!!

Thanks Netgalley and Love Lit Press for the e-ARC <3

I've been lucky to have also been on e-Arc of this author's first book and with this new one, I was so excited and it did not fail! For a collection of short novellas, this one is lit. My favorite by far is the Same Train of Thoughts. That one is SOOOO POETIC for me!

It was only four stars cause it seemed to me some stories was extended a lot when it could have been shortened and to the point more. I liked the ones that were shorter in this book and man, they have been all so fire too! Keep it up! Love reading from sexpositive authors, and empowering woman in their stories! <3

Kiss and Make Love is a collection of stories. The stories can be read in any order, except that the first story should be read first and the last story should be read....well, last. Other than that, it's a choose whatever order you want. The stories aren't interconnected. They are all spicy, romances. There are 10 stories in the book that include tropes like: age gap, forbidden romance, MM, WLW, public, brother's best friend, one night stand, etc.

I thought the stories in this book were great. They are definitely spicy which was awesome but there was still enough of a story that you cared to read it. It was a quick read and I really enjoyed all the stories. I definitely recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing and Luna Day for the opportunity to read and share this book!

"Kiss and Make Love" by Luna Day is an engaging collection of short stories that range from steamy to sweet, each with unique characters that invite readers to explore diverse experiences. This book is unlike anything I've read before.

One feature I particularly appreciated was the key at the beginning, which provided a glimpse into what each story offered (Length and Steam Level). This guide was incredibly helpful in selecting stories that suited my mood and the time I had available, making my reading experience more enjoyable. (in fairness it did make it hard to track my progress on Goodread's tho 🙈)

The way the collection is bookended with beautifully tied-in opening and closing stories adds a lovely touch, giving a sense of completeness and satisfaction.

My Favourite stories from this collection had to be 'The Professor' and 'The Speed Date', both on opposite ends of the spectrum (in time and spice level), but such great stories!

I would highly recommend "Kiss and Make Love" to anyone looking for a delightful, short read, to enjoy between longer books. It's a perfect palette cleanser, offering a refreshing variety of stories.

I absolutely loved the diversity in these 10 short stories. This book was exactly what I thought it would be. It's a collection of spicyyyyyyy short stories that have little to no plot. Luna did a ggreat job on this.

My favorite was definitely the Professor.

Thank you NetGalley and Victor Editing for a copy of this ARC (:

Book Review 📚
Kiss and Make Love by Luna Day 🫶🏻
4.5/5 ⭐

A collection of 10 short stories in one book, with each story following different characters and their own plot line. Throughout the entire book there was smut ranging from 1 spice all the way up to 5 spice, depending who's story you end up reading.

I had the pleasure of reading 3 Hearts Hideaway so I was over joyed when Kiss and Make Love come about and instantly knew I had to read it. Luna has been sharing so much on her social media and I just knew it was going to be a fantastic read.

Luna has a phenomenal skill in her writing and applying it to appease readers, the characters descriptions, development and overall theme was so amazing and it's one of those books yous give anything to experience for the first time, again.

A huge thank you Luna Day for allowing me the opportunity to read Kiss and Make Love early!

This is a collection of different short stories combined in one book. Each story follows a different set of characters and their own plotline. They are all different and quite steamy. This is my first book by the author and I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed at all. They are wonderful at writing a steamy collection story and I finished the book quite quickly. I loved how the author included a key for the steam level so those who prefer a different steam level at the moment can skip if necessary.

I won’t go into each story and it’s character but I would tell you my favorite. My favorite one was The Professor. I loved the story and the steam was perfect. I also liked The Speed Date as the outcome of the story was different than I expected it would be. The characters were fun in these story and I loved the different tropes in each book.

I loved these story and some of these were either short from 5 pages up to about 30-40 pages. I haven’t read a short story collection that I enjoyed and read so quickly. I will be checking out more books from the author.

*this e-arc was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*

Loved these little short stories. I didn’t read all of them, MM isn’t my cup of tea, but otherwise these were fun.

Thank you Netgallery for the ARC.

Kiss and Make Love was a collection of short and spicy love stories.

There were 10 different stories, of different lengths. I thoroughly enjoyed the different POV and sexual orientation and tropes.

My favourite stories were The Rivals and The Book Club.

I would recommend this book, as it has a story for any mood.

The cover was beyond beautiful though, that reflects the essence of these collections.

This book is exactly as it is described, short faced paced, insta steam.

I think the best one out of this was the baker story, and maybe the professor story. I think my issue with the book and why I only gave it three stars is some of the stories were just not that good. The characters weren't consistent with their descriptions, and I felt very little for any of them.

So if you're looking for extremely fast paced steam with little to no plot except spice, this is the book for you.
I don't think I would pick this book up again or recommend it.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I feel awful saying that.

I received this as an arc over net gallery and I have never been so excited for an arc + boy did this not disappoint. The book is several short stories and honestly I absolutely adored each one + the beginning and end was so genius. The guide in the beginning also absolutely made my experience so much better and it honestly was so clever. The conversations were well written and even tropes I had no interest in still kept me more engaged than normal. Although I'll admit some stories left me wanting more while others were too overdone I have to say that it was an amazing experience no matter the pace you read!

4.5/5 stars
4/5 spice (most stories were semi spicy but had some decent pacing - however where there was spice it was spicing as FUUU-)
2/5 plot (overall not a plot heavy book but each individual book was well paced for the individual one off, and additionally I would say the length for each is a bit lop sided but I still enjoyed it overall even the less original aspects)

I totally recommend picking this up when you can!
