Kiss Me if You Can

My Thoughts on Kiss Me if You Can

I dove into "Kiss Me if You Can" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. I'd heard it was connected to "Kiss Me Liar," which I know can be polarizing, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, I found myself pleasantly surprised by this omegaverse romance. It's a story about healing, found family, and a bodyguard who's more than capable of saving his alpha's ass – and his heart.

First Impressions

Initially, I was thrown off by Chase's violent tendencies and how that was portrayed, but as the story progressed, it became clear that there were reasons behind his behavior. Josh, on the other hand, immediately grabbed my attention. He's a strong, independent omega raising his son, and he doesn't back down from a challenge, even when it involves a volatile alpha.

What Works Well

The chemistry between Josh and Chase is undeniable. Their relationship evolves in a believable way, and I appreciated that the story emphasized consent and treating your partner with respect. I also enjoyed how the author explored Chase's past trauma and how Josh's love and support helped him heal. I also enjoyed how Josh "displines" Chase whenever he does something wrong. The side characters, especially the other bodyguards, added depth and humor to the story. Their camaraderie and banter were a joy to read. Also, the way the author wrote Josh, made him a strong Omega MC who will take care of ML.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall story, there were a few aspects that didn't quite work for me. The pacing felt uneven at times, and some plot points seemed unbelievable. Also, the action sequences could be a bit far-fetched, and some plot lines felt unresolved by the end. The official translation is clunky and unnecessarily verbose, which can interfere with the flow and immersion.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, "Kiss Me if You Can" is an engaging and entertaining read. The strong characters, compelling romance, and exploration of trauma make it a worthwhile story, even if it's not perfect. If you're looking for a BL novel with a determined protagonist, character growth, and a healthy dose of smut, I'd recommend giving this one a try. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
