Bryson Edwards has a secret he prefers buried in the past and long forgotten. He prefers loose girls, fast cars, and long nights working at the string of bars his family owns. When his roommate’s sister shows up on the scene, she’s far too innocent and sweet for him but he can’t shake Baya out of his mind and worse, it looks like she’s seeping into his heart as well.
Baya seems determined to show her brother she’s not a little kid and equally determined to use Bryson’s body to prove her point. It’s been made pretty clear that Baya is off limits to Bryson but their undeniable sparks explode into a whole lot more than just a few 3:AM KISSES.

Nicola's Thoughts
3:AM Kisses is the story of Baya Brighton’s
eye-opening freshman year at Whitney Briggs University. Now that she is out on her own she wants to
shed the boring, good girl image and try to enjoy university life. Unfortunately for her, university life is
nothing like she imagines, especially when she realises that the brother she
grew up idolising and adoring, who protected her and looked after her is one of
the biggest man-whores on campus.
“You
are not the Cole Brighton I grew up with.
For sure you aren’t the same Cole Brighton who called home once a week
to lecture me on boys and their wandering penises.” Baya
“And
here I thought he was nothing like the playboys he preached long and hard for
me to avoid, when all along he’s been their fearless leader.” Baya
Whilst dealing with this new revelation she
also has to contend with the fact that his partner-in-crime, Bryson Edwards, is
also the hottest man she has ever met and evokes feelings in her she has never
felt before. Even though both Baya and
Bryson have been thoroughly warned off of each other by Cole, their instant
attraction makes it difficult to keep their distance. While Baya is all for giving Bryson a chance,
Bryson has some skeletons in his closet that he is not yet ready to release and
tries to fight the attraction.
That idea comes crashing down however, when
Baya decides she has had enough of her roommate’s overactive sex life and moves
in with Cole and Bryson until she can find another place to stay. Living in such close proximity to each other,
as well as working together makes Bryson’s battle all the more difficult and
even though everyone except Cole thinks that this relationship would be good
for him he still doesn’t feel like he deserves it.
“I’ve
hung out in the dark for so long, I’ve forgotten what it really feels like to
live, to soar with the promise of something wonderful on the horizon.” Bryson
The story is told from alternating points
of view between Baya and Bryson. Whilst
Baya has this sweet, quiet girl persona (courtesy of her overprotective
brother), her inner thoughts are far from it.
She is feisty and witty and one of the best parts of this book are her
thoughts and conversations about her roommate’s sex life.
“I’ve
sort of made friends with the Pointer Sisters – Thing One and Thing Two. They’re more than friendly with me.”
Roxy
lights up the place with a high-pitched cackle.
Laney
leans in with an incredulous look on her face.
“You named them?”
“I
had to. It was getting lonely, and it
was like they’re always trying to get my attention. They’re like two bloated puppies, happy to
see me.”
