Josh Boothe and Peter Summers are two of the sweetest men in California, literally. At the California Confectioners Pastry Competition Josh is assistant chef, working closely with Peter, and together they create a masterpiece with chocolate and sugar. Not only does the smell of chocolate permeate their skin but Peter is constantly eating peanut butter kisses. How’s that for sweet? Josh wants to win the competition in the worst way. He’s possibly even hungrier for it then Peter himself. Josh also wants to win other things as well, namely Peter. He finds himself addicted to Peter’s peanut butter kisses.

Peanut Butter Kisses was a touching, sexy little story. Both Josh and Peter heated up every page. I loved Peter’s easy mannerisms. The fact that he constantly ate those Peanut Butter Kisses that only come out at Halloween was a perfect and creative way to characterize him. He was the perfect counter-balance to Josh’s more tightly wound character. At the competition I wished I could have had a better visual of the candy sculpture as a whole, but the way Josh and Peter interacted with each other gave some idea of what the sculpture could have looked like, after all the sculpture did represent them as a couple. Peanut Butter Kisses is not to be missed.
