Kiss Me (The Keatyn Chronicles series Book 2)
Her life is perfect, right? Oh wait, except that she has a stalker and can't ever see her family again. I love this series! Love the inner monologue that goes on in her head. Another exceptional book in this series. These books are witty and fun and I can't wait for "Date Me".
View all 8 comments. I was not disappointed. Kiss Me was everything and more. Dodd delivered a story full of the perfect amount of romance, boys and mystery. Keatyn has left her beach lifestyle, friends and family for boarding school… unfortunately, not by choice. She was forced to leave after she was almost kidnapped by her mum's stalker, Vincent.
None of Keatyn's old friends know about her whereabouts and probably never will. She gets to start fresh. She has a new lifestyle at an elite boarding school, new friends and most importantly new boys! But when keeping the secrets of her former life starts to get harder and harder, how will Keatyn cope?
And when there are plenty of boys fighting over her and she doesn't know what to do, will it all become too much? Most importantly, which boy will Keatyn choose!? I absolutely loved Kiss Me! I thought it was great. Jillian Dodd sure knows how to write hot, swoon-worthy boys! That's write plural, boys. Keatyn sure has a rather large line up of boys to choose from!
No shortage for her! I liked Keatyn a lot more in Kiss Me. She was somehow more mature and I liked that about her. She had experienced a lot of difficult things for a girl her age and she was handling it surprisingly well. One thing Jillian Dodd is very good at, is writing love triangles. In Kiss Me there are too many boys to count! But it works because Keatyn is working through them one at a time god that sounds awful. The main boy in Kiss Me was Dawson. So, yeah, overall, Dawson was good, just not good enough!
The next important boy in Kiss Me was Aiden. I am so team Aiden. It was so clear how Aiden feels about Keatyn but she kept turning him down. In Kiss Me , she was purely focused on Dawson. In Stalk Me , I was definitely team Brooklyn. Then, along came Cush and I was team Cush. Then both Brooklyn and Cush were assholes and I was confused.
Then I was team Cush again and I totally hated Brooklyn. I would just like to put it out there that Brooklyn is indeed the biggest asshole. The scum of the earth. Whatever you want to call him! I did not like Brooklyn at all and he was definitely not right for Keatyn. I understood that they both still wanted to be friends after their… issues, and that was ok.
But when Brooklyn got Keatyn all excited in Kiss Me , when he says he wants to meet up, and then did the stupidest thing in the world of stupidest things, I hated him so much. Brooklyn, I hope you die a horrible death, you are awful. Thankfully, after all the dramatics and heartache in this book, there were no real scary Vincent scenes.
There is one scene, though, that had my heart racing and I was on the edge of my seat! I loved her cute little sisters and her cool mum and stepdad. It reminded me a little bit of my family, except for the little sisters. Also the little sisters featured once and it was so cute! I also really loved Garrett.
He should be counted as a part of the family because he really is awesome. It was sometimes rather confusing, but I guess I got over it after a while. The plot was quite jumpy. In fact, it was a bit of a strange plot. Two other things that really annoyed me: I guess money makes people do silly things. Indecisive Keatyn really pissed me off.
Keatyn was really confused and her confusion confused me see? How confusing was that!? Anyway, I thought Kiss Me was a lot better than Stalk Me and I absolutely cannot wait for the rest of the series to be released. Like, yours would be: I wish I would have known about that sooner. I probably would have begged my parents to send me away! My bags would have already been packed and loaded in the Jeep. For those of you who read my review of Stalk Me , you know I was percent, all lady parts aboard the Team Cush train But now you know.
Jillian Dodd, I underestimated your abilities to make an even swoonier yeah, swoonier. I made it up, deal with it character than Cush. So, in the words of Joey Tribbiani: Here are a few other things that made Kiss Me pretty freaking great: We get little bits of information on her stalker, but he plays a pretty minor role in this book. I loved that there seems to be ends tying up with Brooklyn and Cush, and I must say, I was pretty dang surprised by both of those story lines.
All-in-all, Kiss Me is another great read by the lovely Jillian Dodd. Is it too early to ask about Date Me??? I can't deny it. I'm a KC groupie. I'm even in a Keatyn Chronicles discussion group. I'm enjoying all these yummy guys she gets to choose from. While Keatyn's indecisiveness in Stalk Me, drove me nuts, it didn't seem to bother me much in this one. I wasn't sure I could love anyone more tha I can't deny it. I wasn't sure I could love anyone more than Cush for Keatyn, but I sure was wrong. Now, in true Keatyn fashion, she "thinks" she wants Aiden, but really Dawson is the perfect guy for her.
However, Dawson is also a bit uncertain. He's a bit stuck on his ex or like Keatie, thinks he is. Once Keatyn and Dawson spend more time together though, they can't deny that they have strong feelings for each other. I love Dawson and Keatyn together and will admit that I will be a bit crushed if they don't end up together. The only one that would make it "ok", would be if she ended up with Damien. We still have the stalker to worry about in this book. Plus, we get to see a small blip of Cush, Damien, and Brooklyn. I missed her parents in this book. Although, we do see them in bits and I really love her talks with Tommy.
The cast of characters continues to entertain me. The group definitely provides a winning combination. They are funny, swoony, and are certain to provide teenage angst. I have a guess and I can't wait to see if I'm right. For now, hang in there members of the KC Club.
Date Me's release is right around the corner! There is a more mature feel to it and there is sexual content. A slow, sweet kiss.
Kiss Me - The Keatyn Chronicles Series #2
And I can't help it. I kiss him back a little. Just, like, to verify my opinion of his kissing. I'm going to sleep with you and your best friend too. I still can't tell you how I feel, but I'm thinking this picture has the potential to be better than what I'm used to. These are like the funnest books ever. And frankly, I don't want to. This is how they make me feel I'm going to go out on a limb here What can I say, I like the under-dog. Though I think Ms Dodd is just trying to get us all to fall in love with Dawson so we forget about Aiden and then he's going to make this huge comeback 4.
Though I think Ms Dodd is just trying to get us all to fall in love with Dawson so we forget about Aiden and then he's going to make this huge comeback! And don't get me wrong it was hard not to fall in love with Dawson. Kiss Me picks up right where Stalk Me left off. Keatyn meets Aiden the first day and thinks she's in love--but after an unfortunate back-pat awkward things between them take a turn for the ugly.
Reward Yourself
They seem to have a volitile relationship the remainder of the book. Dawson and Keatyn start out as friends but that quickly progresses to more. But Keatyn swore off boys and love so she still guards her heart. Slowly by the end of the book, Dawson has inched his way in a bit. But Aiden was always there in the back-ground patiently waiting for his turn.
Honestly, they are both so great Aiden had some really sweet moments and so did Dawson. Including both homecoming gestures! Thank goodness Date Me is releasing next week!!! It's going to be hell waiting for Love Me There books are just pure fun. I love getting lost in the life of Keatyn and all of her boys. Can't wait to read the rest of the story View all 9 comments.
Wow, Jillian has me switching teams constantly Kiss me shows Keatyn acclimating to the changes in her life and new friends.
Very cute, fun read! Anxiously waiting for the next installment. This was a lot of fun, and it was a bit sexier than the last.. At the Fair After kissing Aiden and making the dance team. Brief overview of what goes on this book: Keatyn She is trying to be as normal as she can but she misses her family and friends. As well as the beach. She is not allowed on any social networking so has no idea how Cush is doing after she just left him. The weirdest thing is she feels like she belongs for the first time, but no one knows who she really is.

Falling into easy friendships for the first time and doing everything she wants to do. Aiden aka The God of all Hotties. He wants Keatyn and he makes it known. He even quotes her Keats! After she looses a bet to him she has to dance with 29 times. He is apparently a player — I never saw any of that.

Maybe he had changed his ways trying to get Keatyn but no groupies mentioned. The 4 leaf clover he gives her is sweet as shit! The friendship they spark is great but still too much sexual chemistry. He does get frustrated and lashes out at her though without explanation. Keatyn starts to give him advice on how to win her back. Pretty soon Keatyn becomes the person that he wants not Whitney. He adores her, and is great fun. And the way he asks her to the Homecoming dance?
Made me fall for him harder. Whitney - Whitney hates Keatyn. I used to like you a lot. Damian — Your still awesome keep on being a good buddy to Keats. I seriously think the only way that I can choose is if one of them beats the shit out of her, or cheats, or murders someone, sells organs on the black market or kidnaps little kids or something! I read this back to back after Stalk Me. I had to know what happens… The stalker is still out there and we do see him pop up every now and then, but this is basically about Keatyn trying to find her place in the world.
Keatyn, our heroine, puts my wild teen days to shame with her harem of delicious boys and naughty school girl outfits. This series may be cute and fluffy, but the writing is addictive. And the storyline is so much fun!
This story picks up immediately where Stalk Me ends. After coming close to being kidnapped by her stalker, Keatyn had no choice but to leave her friends and family behind and go into hiding. With her new identity, she makes the decision to reinvent herself at her new boarding school. She decides to become more involved in school, starting with a lot of extracurricular activities.
But there is one thing she is definitely not going to do: Not superficial snobs that only care about their social status. To top it all off, she manages to fall for two very hot boys who make her dizzy with lust. Oh, the trials and tribulations of teenage drama. Being in a semi love triangle and making a fresh start has never been more exciting. I am officially done with boys. Maybe sew my vagina shut. She loves fashion, boys, and cars. I love her cowgirl boots. They dish it out and she dishes it right back. I wish I was that saucy in high school. My one complaint about Keatyn would be her indecisiveness over which boy to pick because I thought the choice was obvious.
She falls in and out of love easily. And I remember how easily it was to think with your hormones and not your brain at that age. Those were the good ole days. It was good to see Keatyn make her own path in life, without the pressure of being the popular girl. She learns to be more independent and self-reliant. But, despite the fact Keatyn dresses to impress and lives a frivolous lifestyle, she still has insecurities.
And we are shown just how vulnerable she feels being on her own. She misses her family and friends. However, Keatyn is like a chameleon. She finds a way to accept her new life and settles in nicely. And this is the kind of thing I have always pictured. A boy who wants me so bad he can barely stand it.
I was entirely unimpressed with this guy. He was hot one minute and then cold the next. His immaturity was a complete turn off. He has his moments at the end of the book but, by then, I had picked my team.
Kiss Me (The Keatyn Chronicles, #2) by Jillian Dodd
If Cush was hot, then Dawson is molten lava hot. Molten lava that seems to be rolling through every part of me. He used to date Whitney — the alpha bitch of the school who hates Keatyn. When Keatyn and Dawson first meet, they start off rocky, but eventually they become friends when Keatyn gives him advice on how to win Whitney back. Then something changes between the two of them.
There is a spark. He becomes the guy that she has a hard time resisting. They start off with random passionate kisses until things between them become hot and heavy. He treats Keatyn like a Princess. I am totally smitten with this hot boy. Team Dawson all the way! Boys, boys, boys, and more boys…. Keatyn has it soooo good. I never thought I would crush on another boy so soon after Keatyn left Cushman behind.
Who knew this was possible?! Kiss Me is full of steamy kisses, teenage drama, teenage crushes, smoking hot boys, mean girls, independence, friendships, and laugh out loud good times. View all 6 comments. It's not a story about one girl and one boy. It's a story about a girl's journey through adolescence and the many boys she meets along the way. The many SEXY boys she meets along the way. Basically, it's chick lit at it's best. There are numerous boys to fall for, the story line is engaging and entertaining, and the main character Keatyn is hilarious.
Keatyn is boy crazy to the 10th power! She crushes hard and she falls in love easily. She's sort of flighty, but in my opinion, her character accurately represents a year-old girl. She is young and she has her whole life in front of her, which is why I welcomed her boy craziness. Keatyn has cut almost all ties from her previous life and is now living at a boarding school to protect herself and her loved ones from a crazy stalker.
Keatyn doesn't have to face life or death situations at boarding school, but she does have to deal with new drama and a new group of friends, enemies, eye candy, and make out buddies. One thing I can guarantee you is that Keatyn's life is never dull. Trust me, where she goes the drama is sure to follow. Keatyn is the same hilarious, fickle, boy-crazy girl from Stalk Me.
I love her, but the chick drives me freaking crazy.
See a Problem?
I love her, but I really want to smack her in the face at times. There are so many hot guys at her new boarding school and she wants them all. She feels something and she just goes for it. She doesn't always stop, think, and then act. Like I said before, I love her, I'm just ready for her to settle down a little bit. That being said, I honestly believe that Keatyn will mature as this series progresses.
In fact, she matured a lot in Kiss Me. When you compare the first half of this novel to the second half, you can definitely see growth in Keatyn's character. There are so many guys in this novel that it's hard to keep all of the men in Keatyn's life straight. But I'll go ahead and give you the low down on the two main love interests in Keatyn's life: Dawson used to date Whitney - the bitchy queen bee who hates Keatyn. Keatyn starts off by giving him advice on how to get over Whitney. Over time, Keatyn becomes the thing that helps Dawson get over Whitney.
Dawson really is a great guy. He's sweet and loyal. He treats Keatyn like a princess. I have nothing bad to say about Dawson. Aiden is the god of all hotties. I've heard him called a player, but I've never actually seen him behave like a player. In fact, Aiden is popular, but he doesn't really hang out with the popular kids. He doesn't really care about social status. I have a feeling that Aiden is the "the one" for Keatyn.
He sometimes gets frustrated with her or lashes out, but I think it's because he really cares about her and he doesn't like to see or hear about her with other guys. I have nothing bad to say about Aiden. Hoenstly, I'm kind of rooting for him at this point! Kiss Me was a great addition to The Keatyn Chronicles. It's another dramatic and entertaining chapter in Keatyn's life.
I look forward to continuing this series. I can't wait to see what's in store for Keatyn next! I recommend Kiss Me because it's a fun, entertaining novel that is perfect for "mature" young adults. It is a Hottie Heaven that only Jillian Dodd could create so well. When I finished reading Stalk me vol. Keatyn arrives to this boarding schoo "I feel like I've died and gone to hottie heaven. Keatyn arrives to this boarding school and is suddenly introduced to so many boys at once, and well, you CANNOT help but wonder who will be the boy to steal her heart.
Trust the possibilities are endless and you will definitely be rooting for one team in particular, or as in my case, TEAMS. This is a coming-of-age story where a girl, who was not sure if she liked herself that well to begin with Stalk Me , is sent to boarding school due to certain circumstances that happen in Stalk me Anyway, in Kiss me, the reader will begin to see the transformation of Keatyn into someone that will be proud of her own achievements, decisions in life, and, maybe, fall in love. You begin to see her become a girl that is so likable that when you are inside her head the book is written in first person so you are always inside her head you cannot stop yourself from grinning.
So much so that your cheeks will hurt. What I mean is that You don't get to fully appreciate her in Stalk me. Jillian Dodd's writing is relevant, witty, playful, hilarious, and very current. You'll get your analogies and your deep writing but in a fun and very, very witty way. You will laugh your butt off when you read this book, you will sigh and want to swoon This is a phenomenal book.
And you do not want to miss it. One last thing, Teenagers and parents should read this book together!!!! It deals with very relevant issues that teenagers face such as being able to communicate openly with their parents, sex, and popularity. It is a beautiful book with sooo many beautiful messages underneath all the fun, wittiness, and lightness that characterizes the author's writing. So I have said it a million times but I will say it again. The reason for this is someone always has to miss out, or neither of them in the end, or if the author is a masochist she just kills one of the characters off.
So as long as they end up with who I want them to end up with me I am happy as Larry. Usually when I do face the love triangle scenario, for example in The Hunger Games and Twilight I end up falling down on one side. They are friends even though she does kiss Dallas , they should stay friends in my honest opinion. In a way I know where Dodd is going with this. I know that eventually Team Aiden is going to win. Do you see now what this book is doing to my head? Although that said even if Team Aiden does win out, the way that this series has been going there will be a new team to join after Aiden turns out to be a dick.
I sure hope not. As you can probably tell from my rather ranty thoughts this book is drama filled. It centres around drama. The thing I loved the most about this book is that I think Keatyn grows as a person. Having experienced high school myself with a lot of guy friends I really enjoyed the platonic relationship between her, Riley and Dallas. It was nice and made me smile. I want to be their best friends too! This is one of those books I love to hate. But boy can I not wait to read more!!!!
So loved this book. I think I even loved it more than the first. So what does that make Kiss Me? It probably doesn't even matter. Except that you so need to read this book!!! Jillian Dodd is like the Goddess of mature YA lit-- she just gets it.
The Keatyn Chronicles
Kiss Me, the second book to the Keatyn Chronicles, was so much fun. OMG-- I personally think he should h So loved this book. But whatever -- he's just HOT!!! And he and Keatyn totally click. But what's a girl to do -- it's so confusing with all the hotness right at your finger tips. I'm not sure I would be able to keep a clear head to try and figure out how my life has changed and what hottie i should be with and oh-- that stalker guy, Vincent is still a presence - um scary.
Life at boarding school seems cool. I mean there's of course the bitch Whitney but whatever. She's gonna do what she does. All her characters are so much fun. And-- they totally remind you of what it was like to be that young again. The fashion is to die for -- so want to raid Keatyn's closet. And where were the Gods of All Hotties when I was in high school? The story isn't too heavy-- well except for that whole Vincent stalker bit -- but Keatyn is being well protected. You fall in love with this story cuz it's light.
And Keatyn- um who would't want to be her friend. She is so witty, and she is so not whiny. She's strong but she's a girl and has feelings. She's one of the best young female characters in any books. If you're looking for a fun night and something laid back-- totally read Kiss Me. It's so good and did I mention HOT? Jan 07, C. Did you guys ever watch Gossip Girl? Or Beverly Hills in the early days? Readers have gone wild for Keatyn and her complicated life, never mind her even more complex love life. This is no timid little doormat. This Did you guys ever watch Gossip Girl?
And Keatyn has plenty, which made me laugh out loud at times and brought a lump to my throat, too. The secondary characters are incredibly well written, especially the guys. The men are so drool worthy, fans of Keatyn are busy on social networking sites posting photos of who they think should play them in a film or television series. And right there is the magic. So where do I start????
I didn't like this book, I didn't even sort of like this book. It picks up right where we left Keatyn in Stalk Me. You get the best description of Keatyns day to day life without wondering what is going to go down today. I LOVE her friendship with the boys. I am Team Aiden but for some reason I am ok with her sort of being with Dawson. She will end up with Aiden She is young and I say let her have some FUN!!! I thought I loved Stalk Me but the little tease of Jillian introducing us to these boys in the last part of SM was enough to put me over the edge wanting more and Kiss Me proved to be perfect in getting to know these boys even better.
I can't wait for the next installment Date Me!!! I am Team Aiden all the way. Im on boy overload with a side of whiplash! Brooklyn so disappointed with him. Was not happy with Cush and his Facebook message. The boy whose kisses are hotter than molten lava. The boy who offered me the key to his heart. The boy who asked me to Homecoming in a big, sexy way. My mom says that you can't love someone until you learn to love yourself. So, even though Vincent is getting more and more scary; even though he's doing a nationwide search for me, I'm going to learn to love myself.
Well, I'm going to try. Mostly, I want a boy to love me. I've finally become the kind of girl my little sisters could look up to. Except for the lies. Lying to my friends is killing me. And the longer I'm there - the closer we get - the more I feel like I'm being eaten from the inside out. If I go back to Eastbrooke, I'll end up nothing but a shell.
So I'm not going back. I'm going to St. And for the first time in my life, I'm okay with being alone. I don't actually end up on the island alone. This novella is number 4. I was told if I went away, he'd forget about me, lose interest, and move on. In fact, my being gone has only made things worse. So it's time for me to take matters into my own hands. It's time for me to fight back. Will Keatyn get her life back?
And which life will she choose? This is the 6th and final book in the series. The Keatyn Chronicles 7 books in series. Gossip meets Hollywood in a fun, steamy, and addictive series. She's just not sure she wants it anymore. Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to. To add to the drama, her movie star mom has a creepy stalker.
