We all know the movie Groundhog Day, this book is that, it even mentions it, and I am not sure how I feel about it.

Wynn is about to turn thirty and career wise has everything she wanted, but in her personal life not so much. Her sister is married to the woman she loves and their not happy either. When Wynn ends up on the anniversary date that her sister should be on, a freak thunderstorm makes Wynn relive the day she made the worst decision of her life. She keeps reliving the day until she gets it all right. It takes her a long time to figure out what’s going on and when she is reliving the day again she starts telling people and they just believe her, but they haven’t been experiencing the same. It’s all a bit surreal and weird. Pretty early on on the book I figured out what it was that she should be doing, instead of all the selfish and corporate things.

The book gets a bit too repetitive for me and I feel like it takes Wynn too long to figure out what’s going on. She assumes it’s a very elaborate practical joke, which is just a joke. It’s ridiculous to relive a day until you get it perfect, but a practical joke in this way would be even more ridiculous. I find all the characters to lack development, but I guess rereading the same day over and over will do that with a story. The ending is a bit flat for my liking as well. I hoped I’d like this book better than the movie Groundhog Day, but I don’t know, I think I don’t really care for either of them.

Kiss me everyday starts you off thinking you are going to get a second chance romance for Wynn, the main character. Carly married Wynns sister Jordan after they meet at a fundraiser but after a year of marriage, they are both in different places. Wynn ends of going to dinner with Carly after Jordan blows her off and they share an amazing kiss that throws Wynn back one year and one day before the day they just had. Wynn gets stuck in a time loop reliving the same day over and over as she tries to figure out how to get out of the time loop. Along the way, she learns some important lessons, and changes the course of the future greatly.
This concept in a romance novel was unique and I was hooked to find out all the ways Wynn got Carly to fall in love with her.

Wynn has been in love with her sister's wife, Carly. She almost was the one that Carly chose, but her sister Jordan, swooped in and stole her. Wynn knows that Carly is not happy with her sister because she is not there for her. This all becomes truly apparent when a thunderstorm out of the blue happens. This moment makes Wynn relieve a year ago when Wynn fell in love with Cary. She keeps relieving the moment until she finally realizes what she and Carly truly want: love, commitment and loyalty. All the things her sister can no longer give Carly.
I would recommend.

I enjoyed the first half of this book but it really fell apart for me at the end. This is about a woman reliving the same day of her life one year in the past that impacted many facets of her life, most importantly losing the opportunity with a woman who ended up going on to marry the main characters sister and everyone ending up miserable. When Wynn is able to go back and relive that day, the first roadblock for me was that it took her a very long time to realize that she’s reliving the same day even though there’s things about the day being in the past that are obvious (her dog is now a puppy; her bathroom renovation is still happening) and it took her way longer than necessary to catch on. The first handful of days that are relived were fine but then it started to get very repetitive. By the last half, Wynn starts telling other people what’s happening and I found that to be entirely too unrealistic, especially their reactions. I also thought earlier days relived would have been much better jumping off points for Wynn to reset her life and didn’t find the day that finally “clicked” to be very satisfying, especially with how the romance ended up playing out. I also would have enjoyed other people maybe realizing they were too in a loop, as it felt weird to have only Wynn experiencing these close emotions and experiences with others and them not remembering. Lastly, I don’t tend to love when characters in stories like these relive a day and then jump to the future again with no recollection of what happened in the time between. It would have been nice to see her settle back into the memories from the time between. So overall, although the first half was a cute story, the last half felt convoluted and brought the story down for me.

I wasn't sure how Kiss Me Every Day was going to play out, but I still wanted to read it. I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed reading it. This idea of ground hog day hasn't played out much in the romances I have read. I only read one book similar (Blake wrote that one), but still this concept was different. Dena Blake made this work!

Wynn Jamison missed out on the woman who could be "the one". She shared a wonderful kiss with Carly Evans who ends up marrying Jordan, Wynn's sister. Sad thing is Carly isn't happy and neither is Jordan. It really is a mess. Wynn on the other hand avoid Wynn and has focused on her career. Everything changes when Jordan skips her anniversary meal with Carly and asked Wynn to stand in for her. The next morning Wynn starts her ground hog day experience.

As I sit and reflect, I liked ground hog day - the movie, so now I am not surprised I enjoyed this romance. Wynn has to figure out how to make things right in her work life and personal life. Trust me she tries and tries and at some point if you are paying attention you can figure out what she is missing. I really enjoyed her trying to "fix" things. I liked how Blake built upon the chemistry between Wynn and Carly each day. Even though Carly isn't living this ground hog day experience, her feelings for Wynn build each day and she can't seem to understand. That made for a really hot and steamy romance. I liked both mains and thought they "fit" together.

This book was SUCH a fun read!! At the beginning, I was immediately rooting for Carly and Wynn, and then when the groundhog loop started I was starting to get so frustrated because I just wanted them to have their happily ever after!! This was such a fun, interesting book to read and i thoroughly enjoyed it; the characters were super easy to like, the romance was super cute and I loved seeing each little thing that Wynn changed every day!

Everyone has wished they could go back on time and get a do-over.....Groundhog Day style! Wynn and Carly were meant to be together but unfortunately, Wynn believed her sister's lies. She didn't think she could win Carly's heart with her dashing sister in the way, so she bowed out gracefully. What she didn't know was that Carly really had feelings for her, but because Wynn disappeared from her life, and Jordan told her everything she wanted to hear, she married Jordan.
The next year turned Wynn into a cutthroat, step on everyone you can to get to the top, kind of human. When she finally learned the truth about Jordan and Carly's marriage, she wished she could do it all over again. She got that wish. What followed was Wynn's discovery of the good person that she was underneath all along. I loved Wynn's character development and the romance between her and Carly. This is a feel good book that will have you smiling throughout! Thanks Dena for another really fantastic read!

I received an advanced reader copy for an honest review from #net galley. I don't want to give any spoilers. I didn't enjoy this book as well as I could have because of personal preference.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

The was cute story.

Wynn just turn 31 and she not having the best birthday. Wynn realize she still has feelings for her sister Jordan wife Carly she remember the first time they kiss but when she learns her sister has feelings for Carly she steps aside.

Carly remember the kiss she share with Wynn and it never left her she realize she may have chose the wrong sister especially when she realize her marriage isn’t great.

Wynn gets a second chance to win Carly when she wakes up on the day they share their first kiss at the fundraiser. As she continue to wake up on the same day will she able to get Carly this time around.

I like the premise of this book because I believe if we had that chance to relive one day in our life what day would you choose and will you change anything about that day.

This was really interest and nothing like what I expected at all. A lesbian groundhogs day! I really enjoyed the new day the first few times but was hoping that we could have moved the story along in a different way. I gotta say that the MC’s were wonderful as I was rooting for them from the beginning. And Jordan was a jerk but I guess that she has to be so that we can all feel better about rooting Wynn and Carly on. I feel like the ending was rushed as there were some things that I was still confused about. But overall a good book

This book had a fun premise - a woman is in love with her sister-in-law and her life is full of what-ifs. One day she wakes up and soon realizes that she can change everything.

I thought it was a fun twist that Wynn experiences her own personal groundhog day, but the story got a little old after a while and I found myself skimming through towards the end just to see if I was right about Mrs. P, and to see how Wynn and Carly got together. Even though the reader has to suspend reality, at some points, I found the story just too unbelievable. Wynn tells Carly and her sister about her situation - that she's reliving the same day over and over, and they both believe her within seconds. The ending was a little hard to comprehend too. Wynn's situation ends when she helps her neighbor, but when she "wakes up" that same neighbor is in the hospital again for the same condition a year later? Just a bit confusing.

Overall, this was a cute book. Despite the repetitive theme, the author did a good job of making each day different with new dialogue and events. If I had to read that Buttercup was Shadow's mother one more time though...

Have you ever lamented on some of the opportunities that you passed up in life? What if you were given a chance of a do-over?

Even when Wynn was completely enamoured with the woman she shared a kiss with at an event, her lack of self belief and feelings of inadequacy stopped her from pursuing the one, Carly, and had to watch on when the woman became her sister in law.

We tend to pass up on so many things in life, through wasted opportunities, lack of courage, determination, self belief, fear of the unknown or feelings of inadequacy. This book is big on some of the above.

When Wynn woke up one day and found herself back to the same day before she shared the kiss with Carly, the story comes to life.

How many wrongs before Wynn gets one right? Will Wynn pass up on the opportunity for a chance with Carly again or will she turn the tide? There is a delicateness written into the character of Wynn who is an introvert at heart, someone who is uncertain of herself and oblivious of the quiet strength she possesses. I recommend the book and hope you’ll find yourself rooting for Wynn like I did.

3.5 stars

It's a day before her 31st birthday, and Wynn Jamison is unhappy with her life. She gave the orders to lay off thousands of employees in the morning, and her dinner with her sister's wife Carly has made her realize that she still has feelings for her sister-in-law. But Carly and Jordan's marriage is falling apart, and the night ends with a searing kiss between Wynn and Carly. The next morning, Wynn wakes up to discover that she's gone back in time one year, to the day she shared an amazing first kiss with Carly, before she lost her to her Jordan. As Wynn repeatedly wakes up on the same day, she realizes that she's been given a chance to correct the record. Will Wynn ever escape the time loop, and maybe get the girl as well?

This was a cute story, despite the unoriginal premise. It was very much a lesfic version of <i>Groundhog Day</i>, except Wynn starts off much more likable.

The Characters: Wynn and Carly were cute and nice, but they lacked depth. I felt like a lot of adjectives got thrown around, but I had a very muddled picture of both characters. The side characters were pretty one-dimensional as well, though a few were very likable. The sister, Jordan, seemed like a straight up sociopath.

The Romance: There were definitely some good bits of romance in here, but I think things started to get a bit crazy by the end. There were big gestures that didn't quite make sense. It felt a bit like I was being sold the idea of, "they are meant to be!" rather than being convinced that the MCs should be together through the plot. For example, they would have some average conversation and spend some time doing a fun activity, and then the narration would say something along the lines of how one MC knew the other MC was The One for her because it all felt so easy. I wanted to feel the chemistry more, instead of being told that it existed.

The Plot: I liked how there were other subplots that Wynn had to try and fix in addition to the romantic one. This kept things interesting as Wynn tried different methods to fix everything by the end of the day. However, I think some of the plot lines did not make sense, and there were some actions and choices that seemed out of character. Also, some of the resolutions were a bit basic.

The Writing: There were a lot of typos in this one, although I did read an ARC, so those will hopefully get fixed in the final product. I wasn't a big fan of the writing style. It was very straight forward, a lot of "telling" as opposed to "showing," and there wasn't much flow. The story was told in alternating third person limited POV of Wynn and Carly.

All in all, this was an entertaining book. While it wasn't the most well-written or well-thought out story, Dena Blake's enthusiasm for her characters' HEA makes it a better read. If you're a fan of this do-over trope, this may be the book for you.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a "groundhog" type story, where the same day repeats itself, but it wasn't. Things changed constantly based on what happened, like the weather and feelings toward one another. Wynn was such a likable character and so was Carly. I will say I would have liked more Jordan drama but that is just me and I almost wish the future day wasn't changed because I think Carly could grow from it but the twist...now that was good and I loved. I feel as if I am rambling but so far this has been one of my favorite reads this summer. It made me smile, shake my head, and want to know what happens next.

I was so close on skipping this. but since I'm reading the author's other books right now I liked her style. so i gave this a try, tho the description made me uncomfortable. once I began reading I was so glad that I picked this up. very well written. For me Carly was just amazing. very likable, mature and so sophisticated. I also liked the fact that Wynn character was developing throughout the book.

Highly recommended.

many thanks for the author and her team for the free copy in exchange of honest opinion

Lesbian groundhog’s day! What’s not to like? I enjoyed the premise and the characters of this book, and I thought it was very fun and cute. The author gets around infidelity with the groundhog premise and by making it clear that Wynn’s sister never loved Carly; I’m sure this is partially a requirement of the genre, but I would’ve liked to see the complications therein dealt with a little more seriously, but I also understand that’s not what people come to the genre for. Overall, very enjoyable.

This was a cute sweet romance that put a smile on my face when I read the end.
Wynn Jamison has always loved Carly from the moment they kissed at a fundraiser but Wynn lost her chance when her sister tells her she has feelings for Carly and Wynn sadly steps aside. A year later Carly is in a very unhappy marriage to Wynns sister but feels she must do what she can to try to work things out, even though her heart tells her she married the wrong sister, and she has never forgotten that kiss.
Wynn has never gotten over Carly and she regrets the day she stepped aside for her sister, especially when she finds out her sister never loved Carly. But what would happen if she had that chance to go back in time to the day of the fundraiser and can prove to Carly she was The One all along.
Think groundhogs day but in a lesbian romance.
4.5 stars and would happily buy this book
