It Takes Two by Jenny Holiday Bridesmaids Behaving Badly, #2 Contemporary Romance June 26, 2018 Forever Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Oh, I saw that in the store where I bought the condoms, and I wanted to… give you something,” Noah said like it was no big deal. He chuckled in a way that might have bordered on self-deprecating. “Something besides condoms.” Oh, shit. She was past the point of no return. She burst into tears. Which of course brought him to her side in a flash. Damn Continue Reading

I was trying to read from my TBR this week and opened up From Scratch by Katrina Jackson. Apparently, I bought this back in April but have zero recollection why. The blurb mentions the heroine moving to a new town and falling in lust with the sheriff and fire chief. And that is pretty much exactly what happens. Once I realized it was one woman with two men, I needed to keep reading to see if it was M/F/M or M/M/F. For those interested, it was M/M/F. I found the development of Continue Reading
One Night Wife by Ainslie Paton
One Night Wife by Ainslie Paton Contemporary Romance May 17, 2018 Entangled Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Are you scared I’m going to bolt?” “I’m scared you’re going to eclipse the sun.” Cal Sherwood, you keep saying things like that, you are so getting kissed. I loved pretty much everything about this book. The premise is a fake relationship between a con-man hero and a heroine that wants to raise money for the non-profit she just started. They meet in a bar and Fin tries to Continue Reading

It’s a small miracle but I finished reading two books this week. And finished listening to an audio book. First up I finally read The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang and I didn’t love it. I never really connected with either character. There were some eyerolly moments with a late intro of a villain that almost caused me to DNF. But I took a break and was able to finish it. Helyce really enjoyed the book and reviewed it recently. I finished Bad Bachelor by Stefanie London on Audio and I really Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
It's Friday and I stayed up too late watching hockey last night! BUT I finally finished a book!!!! I feel like I deserve a parade. I started The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang last night but had a hard time reading as I was also watching the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup! It is starting out great and I was a bit surprised about how much sex stuff there is so far. I think the cover made me think it was going to be more closed door or at least no body parts mentioned, but I was Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
Welcome to another week of Kini’s Friday Kisses. This week was filled with half completed reads. I started Binding Law by Micah Persell recently. The main set up is that a woman hires a gigolo and then they end up in a fake relationship. These are all things that I love. But I made it to the 50% mark and it was starting to feel a bit repetitive with little forward movement of the relationship, except for sex. This one seems to be more sex focused than the previous book. And while that is ok, Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
Welcome to the first edition of Kini’s Friday Kisses, hereby known as #kinisfridaykisses or #kfk I have been losing my reading and reviewing mojo lately, but I am really excited about the format change at Smexy. FYI- I was avoiding coming up with a name for my date because I am HORRIBLE at naming things. I texted Mandi Wednesday night hoping she had something fun and clever. She didn't. So I googled "reading words that start with F" Nothing interesting appeared. I changed it to K and got Continue Reading

I was on this island, all by myself, and you came to rescue me.” “Aiden, I’m not sure—” “The island is where I’ve been since he died. Or maybe it’s where I always was, but I used to Continue Reading

Wanted every bit of her, and he was done fighting it. Nothing else he’d tried made his hunger for her go away. Maybe it would complicate things. Maybe it would ruin their working relationship. But in that moment, he didn’t care. She tasted like wine and desire, and Seth never wanted to stop Continue Reading
Review: Pretending He’s Mine by Mia Sosa
Pretending He’s Mine by Mia Sosa (Love on Cue #2) Contemporary Romance Released: April 10, 2018 Avon Impulse Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Exactly. Sure, sometimes a quick bang does the job. Other times, you can’t help yourself, and it’s got to be all-consuming and clumsy and so rough the guy’s dangling belt buckle digs into your thigh and you notice scratch marks the next morning. But mostly, we want to be savored. We want to know that you’d happily spend the entire day making us Continue Reading
