Baya Brighton is looking forward to her first year at Whitney Briggs University, new friends, dorm life, and finally being close to her brother again. Love is the last thing on the list, but when Baya meets her brother’s roommate she begins to have thoughts and feelings that make even her blush.
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.

Our Review:
So 3:AM Kisses is a very sweet story of nineteen year old Baya and her foray into the crazy world that is being a freshman in college. First up, her tube top falls down five minutes into being on campus in front of a gorgeous guy. So this told me that this girl was going to be as lovably awkward as I am, and I was going to like her alot! Haha! Since I'm known for my lack of graceful movements, I, too, adored Baya and her awkward moments...her sarcastic thoughts...and her naivety. She's precious and smart and funny.
Bryson on the other hand, boob flash recipient, turns out to be fairly helpful in navigating her to her dorm and to find her brother...aka his partner in crime roommate. They are pretty douchey at first with their actual notch counting on the wall of their constant sexual escapades. Cole, Baya's brother, took being the protective older brother to way too high extremes. If he gets a book in the future he will have to try damn hard to win me over...just saying. Ggrrr...He made me really mad!
You know, Courtney, I was all prepared to love Cole because she adored him as her big brother..but GAH! he's such a ho-bag and more than that...a hypocrit. Bryson, on the other hand, is surprisingly gentle and sweet. I was very prepared for my reactions to be the opposite--hate Bryson and love Cole but it never surfaced. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Cole's desire to protect his sister but the way he went about it was so condescending and just plain dumb. hmph. Bryson, though, was thoughtful and caring and kind.
Bryson has some serious hang ups about settling down, stemming from something that happened in his past. Luckily, he decides that he can't stay away from Baya...at all and becomes a swoon worthy guy! Yeah, he's a total babe!
There is a lot of awkward in this book! And mean girls and horrible roommates and a whole lot of indecent exposures from some of the secondary characters, but it was incredibly sweet. I really enjoyed it and have heard great things about Addison's Celestra series, so I can't wait to check that out!
Yep! Lots of caricatures in this book--the typical 'mean' girls, 'slut' girls, and 'sorority ditzes but even with those stock characters, I found this book easy to read and fun. I enjoy a good laugh and this book definitely provided me with plenty of those!
