Hurrah, The Kiss Countdown is my most successful Afterlight (Illumicrate) book pick yet!
I absolutely loved these characters, their back stories were interesting and fully developed - I was really invested in both characters in their own right. 
As for the romance, I thought it was such a slow burn but actually enjoyed the journey with them as they fake dated. For me it just meant that their relationship was a tad rushed towards the end of the book as it was squeezed in. But I really loved the conclusion and the way it was handled. 
I would love to read from this author in the future if she has future publications planned.
