I received an advance copy of *A Kiss for Charity* via BookSprout, and this is my honest review. Usually, I'm the type to overanalyze a book as I read, but this time I simply let myself enjoy Sherry Ewing's *A Kiss for Charity*—and enjoy it, I did! There are a few missing words here and there, but nothing that truly distracts from the overall reading experience. The sheer fun of watching someone relentlessly pursue another, trying to get them to see the truth behind a simple misunderstanding, is...
