"Love and laughter abound...Delightful."
"Anne Gracie writes the perfect historical."
"Gracie has a magical flair for putting words together."
"For fabulous Regency flavor, witty and addictive, you can't go past Anne Gracie." -- Stephanie Laurens
From the Back Cover
In three years on the marriage mart Grace Merridew has never met a man whose kiss stirred her senses. So she makes plans for a life of adventure instead -- to see the moon rise over the pyramids of Egypt and dance amid the marble ruins of Greece. But first she has to help a friend...
Grace's timid friend is being forced to marry Dominic Wolfe, who stands to inherit a huge estate when he weds her. The Wolfes have a terrible reputation, and if there's one thing Grace cannot stand, it's a girl being bullied. When her friend begs for help to escape the marriage, Grace agrees to act the chaperone on their visit to the groom-to-be. But when they arrive nothing is as they expect, and Grace soon finds herself being pursued by a big bad Wolfe -- with strictly dishonourable intentions...

A fan of Anne Gracie's, I had been looking forward to this final chapter in her Merridew sisters series. And how I wish that I could report that "The Perfect Kiss" concludes the series on a high note! The uncomfortable truth of the matter is that while "The Perfect Kiss" starts off really strong, it, unfortunately, disintegrates, in my opinion anyway, into a bit of a mess.
The plot for "The Perfect Kiss" is an oft used and very traditional one: thanks to her father's machinations, timid and impoverished Melly Pettifer finds herself suddenly engaged to the rich and forbidding Dominic Wolfe; horrified at the prospect of marrying someone whom she doesn't love and who is insistent that theirs will be a marriage in name only, she turns to her beautiful and well dowered good friend, Grace Merridew to help her get out of this marriage. And while Grace isn't too sure as to how they are going to accomplish this, she finds herself agreeing to help and accompanying Melly and her father to Wolfstone Castle, disguised as a lady's companion. The last thing Grace expected was that she would find herself so dangerously attracted to Dominic Wolf -- or that for her feelings would be so powerfully reciprocated! Has Grace Merridew finally fallen in love? And could the girl who secretly believes that she is not worthy of love actually be loved for her own sake?
"The Perfect Kiss" starts off really well: Anne Grace does a good job of 1) showing us how Grace was traumatized into believing that no one would ever love her by her grandfather (and why she would cling to this belief all these years later even when it has been established that her grandfather was evil and mad); 2) the instant attraction that springs between Grace and Dominic; and 3) of developing the characters of Grace, Dominic and Melly. And she really does do a brilliant job of portraying Dominic -- showing us his past and his emotional scars and how these have made him the stern, almost cold gentleman he is currently until Grace's love changes him for the better. The trouble I had with the book lay after the characters and storyline had been established, and a triangle of sorts was set up -- Dominic, Grace and Melly seemed to wallow in the fact that they were unable to get Melly's father to change his mind about Dominic and Melly getting married -- everyone strikes attitudes but no one does anything concrete. And Dominic's notion to both runaway and to punish Melly struck me as both foolish and boorish. Of course things do get straightened out and everyone lives happily ever after, but I was a tad disappointed that the same author that wrote "The Perfect Rake" & "The Perfect Waltz" failed to completely deliver here. That said, "The Perfect Kiss" is not a badly written or realised book; it's just that it falls a little short when compared to the aforementioned novels. There were a lot of wonderful points about this novel -- like good character development; sizzling chemistry between the hero and heroine; the subplot dealing with how Dominic overcomes his prejudices about Wolfstone Castle and the people there and grows to appreciate his heritage and his responsibility to his people; and the manner in which the author develops the relationship between Dominic and Grace, allowing us to see that it is a lot more than just a physical attraction. It is just unfortunate, in my opinion, that the storyline was allowed to stagnate for a good chunk of the book. All in all a 3 1/2 star read.

Less Than Perfect Ending to the Series
By Scrivenera
Having read and mostly enjoyed the previous books in Anne Gracie's Merridew Sisters series, I really wanted to like this one. Unfortunately, I found too many aspects problematic and disappointing.
First of all, "The Perfect Kiss" can't seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be a Gothic, a fairy tale, a Manipulative Will story, or a road romance with touches of the exotic. It combines elements of all of the above--a rich, beautiful heroine disguised as a dowdy companion, ancient prophecies trembling on the brink of fulfillment, unreasonable legal conditions forcing two painfully incompatible people together, and a night spent in a harem--but not that successfully. The book might have gotten away with tackling two subgenres, but four?
The characterizations present another difficulty, especially within the context of the plot. In a nutshell: glamorous Grace Merridew masquerades as the aforesaid dowdy companion to help her timid best friend, Melly Pettifer, resist an arranged marriage to a mysterious, much-traveled lord only to fall in love with the prospective groom herself. While not very original, the bare bones of the plot seem serviceable enough -- except that at least one key relationship never rang true for me. Although I was told repeatedly that Grace and Melly were best friends, I felt that I was never shown WHY they were close or what drew them together, despite their different personalities. It was never clear to me why Grace would go to such trouble to help the spineless Melly, and their so-called connection is further weakened by the ease with which Grace repeatedly dallies with Melly's betrothed.
Dominic, the betrothed, does not exactly cover himself with glory either -- ready to abandon his estates and dependents out of a childish desire for revenge against his late father and treating his unwanted fiancee with an indifference bordering on contempt while he energetically pursues her "companion." And while Melly herself is a weepy, spiritless wet noodle, she may still deserve better than to be treated so thoughtlessly by Grace and so callously by Dominic. I found it hard to sympathize with any of them.
In other circumstances, I might have enjoyed Grace and Dominic's romance. Grace's intrepid spirit was one of her more appealing traits in the earlier books and Dominic partially redeems himself when he awakens to his responsibilities as lord of the manor. However, the clunky plot contrivances designed to keep them apart and the couple's rather shabby treatment of the pathetic Melly, who's decidedly not in their weight class, add up to a less than satisfactory read.
