"The last in the Kiss and Tell series!"

You know the old adage 'Save the best for last?' Well, that's just what Tori Carrington did with this series. This last book in the Kiss and Tell series is one that not only told the remaining friends' stories but it was definitely the best story, at least in my opinion.

Mallory, Layla and Reilly made a pact that none of them would ever make a play for Jack just so they would be sure to keep their lasting friendship on an even keel. Unfortunately Mallory broke that pack many times over. She and Jack were just so attracted to each other and they just had to act on those feelings, over and over again. Now Jack wants to take the relationship further and confess but Mallory will have no part of it even when Jack issues an ultimatum. Then Layla and Reilly start having man problems as well.

What Jack doesn't know is that Mallory gave herself a five year time limit to make it with her documentaries and that five years is almost up. She's done a few documentaries that have turned a few heads but it's not like they are breaking down her door for her documentaries. She thought that she was on the right track when she started researching 'The Red Gardenia' story but then some of her research and the money her friends invested in wound up missing. Now, Mallory doesn't know what to do? The only thing left might be to pack it in and move back home to Kansas but how can she leave the best friends in the whole world?

This was one of the most enjoyable Blaze series. I liked the way Tori Carrington tied the stories together and how each of the friends' problems were solved. Tony and Lori Karrayianni, the husband and wife duo who make up Tori Carrington are one of my favorite authors. They always deliver a satisfying read but still leave me wanting more of their stories!

Jack wants to bring their relationship out from under the covers. Mallory, however, likes keeping him—and everybody else—in the dark. Still, with the heat the two of them generate, something is bound to be exposed soon. And Jack can only hope its Mallory...
