A Kiss for Luck
by Grace Burrowes
2014
A shy moment, a bold decision, and a kiss that changes the direction of two lives. This shorter story sets up the Sweetest Kisses world with small-town charm, practical stakes, and chemistry that refuses to be ignored.
Series background & context
Sweetest Kisses is Grace Burrowes’s contemporary series, set in and around the small-town world of Damson Valley. The tone is warm and grounded: real jobs, real responsibilities, and love stories that have to fit around school schedules, work crises, and the messy business of taking care of people.
Instead of dukes and ballrooms, you’ll find lawyers, families in transition, and a community where everyone knows your business, sometimes before you do. The romances are still character-driven, with the same emphasis on honest conversation and emotional recovery, just in modern clothes. The conflicts don’t come from silly misunderstandings, they come from the weight of trying to do the right thing when there isn’t a perfect option.
A Kiss for Luck works as a quick entry point, a shorter story that sets up the vibe and the town. From there, A Single Kiss, The First Kiss, and Kiss Me Hello each follow different couples as they learn to trust again. The stakes tend to be practical, custody concerns, career choices, grief, and the fear of bringing someone new into a complicated life.
Small towns are cozy until they aren’t.
What makes this series stand out is the sense of competency. The couples are dealing with real life, not contrived drama, and that makes the happy endings feel sturdy. People in these books are trying, sometimes clumsily, to be decent, and that effort is part of the attraction. Friends show up, family shows up, and the community can be both support system and pressure cooker.
Because the setting is shared, small moments carry across books: a friend who becomes a sounding board, a neighbor who has too much information, a kid who needs steadiness. Read in order if you like watching a found family form around the couples.
If you like contemporary romance that feels rooted in everyday life, with a steady emotional arc and a strong found-family feel, this series is a good place to start. You can read the books independently, but the town’s relationships build nicely if you follow them in order.
