ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2020

Free-spirited black sheep, Taz Boran, has worked tirelessly as a nurse bringing efficient medical care to Africa for the past eight years. But when her sister Nicky is told she doesn’t have long to live, she immediately flies home to small-town Eminence, Missouri.

Unfortunately, taking care of Nicky means being around her husband, Rafe; the one man Taz could never forget. Rafe is not only her brother-in-law but also took over the family veterinary clinic from her dad.

As Taz becomes Nicky’s home health care nurse—working closely with Rafe to make her sister comfortable—their latent attraction comes sizzling back to the surface. They won’t betray Nicky, but if her dying wish is to see them get the happy ending they always deserved, can they really keep fighting what’s meant to be?

REVIEW:BONUS KISSES by Freya Barker is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story lines focusing on thirty eight year old, nurse Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran, and forty year old, veterinarian Dr. Rafe Thomas.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Taz and Rafe) BONUS KISSES follows the second chance romance and relationship between thirty eight year old, nurse Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran, and forty year old, veterinarian Dr. Rafe Thomas. Ten years earlier sisters Natasha and Veronica aka Nicky fell in love with the same man but Nicky got pregnant, and Taz, refusing to watch her sister move on with the man that she loved, left Eminence Missouri in search of something more, travelling the world, working for Doctors without Borders. Fast forward to present day wherein having never returned home in close to a decade, Taz receives an emergency call from a friend saying her sister does not have long to live. Knowing her life will never be the same, having to face the people she left behind, Taz heads back to Eminence Missouri in an effort to make her sister’s last few days and weeks as comfortable as possible. Enter Dr. Rafe Thomas, the man that Taz has never stopped loving. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Taz and Rafe, as the couple must contend with the small town gossip, and Taz’s mother’s rejection of their second chance romance, a previous romance very few people knew little about.

Rafe and Taz fell in love ten years earlier but Taz’s sister got pregnant with our hero’s child. Having never stopped loving Natasha Boran, Rafe went through the motions with the mother of his children, motions that felt forced and not real but Nicky did not have long to live, and with it, Rafe had to face to the woman whose heart he destroyed ten years earlier. Natasha ‘Taz’ Boran found herself playing several roles upon her return to Eminence Missouri-aunt, mother, daughter, sister, nurse, lover, friend and the target of small town gossip but with the exception of her sister Nicky, Rafe Thomas, and her best friend Kathleen, no one knew the truth about her previous relationship with Rafe Thomas, a relationship that was now the fodder for her mother’s vitriol and pain.

The relationship between Rafe and Taz is one of second chances. Rafe and Taz have never stopped loving one another but Rafe broke Taz’s heart, and with it destroyed any chance for their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Taz and Nicky’s parents Ed and Sarah Boran; Rafe’s children Sofie and Spencer; Taz and Nicky’s best friend Kathleen; and several townies who attempt to make Taz’s life miserable.

BONUS KISSES is an emotional and heart breaking story of loss, love and second chances. The premise is tragic yet uplifting; the romance is spirited, sensual and seductive; the characters are energetic and dynamic. BONUS KISSES is a realistic and reflective look at choices and actions.
