Need You Now by Molly O’Keefe- Unless you’re new here, (which if you are, welcome) you know that I am a O’Keefe fan girl. When I saw Need You Now, I knew I needed it. It is part of The Debt series. I think I’ve read most of this series. It’s kind of dark y’all. The heroine spends time in a juvenile detention program that puts her in the home of an abuser. If that is a trigger, please do not read this book. It is probably better if you have read at least the first two books in the series to Continue Reading

It’s true. I’m not what most people would call “pretty” and, well, high school was rough. Fast forward ten years and life is good… Until a bunch of jerks think it’s hilarious to put the “butterface” (AKA me) on a wedding Kiss Cam with the hottest guy ever—and that old humiliation hits hard. I recognize him immediately. The sexiest cop in Waterbury and totally out of my league. But then he kisses me. And we totally forget the room, the crowd, everything. Then he tells everyone we’ve Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
This week I have mini reviews for three books by new to me authors. The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken- I rarely read outside contemporary but when Jane, the Kensington publicist, told me about this book I felt compelled to read it. She described it as feminist and humorous with a kick ass heroine and a shifter/centaur hero. All of those things are correct. Seriously, a sure fire way to sell me on a book is to tell me that it is feminist. The heroine, Keeley is a magnificent blacksmith Continue Reading
Excerpt: In Safe Keeping by Victoria Sue
Victoria Sue has a new release, In Safe Keeping (Heroes & Babies #2) out on September 3. I hope you enjoy this excerpt! Blurb: Firefighter Lucas Attiker is mired in guilt by his inability to save his young son, who perished in a fire three years ago. When he rescues a troubled young man and his baby daughter from a Colorado forest fire, Lucas finally begins to forgive himself. But the wildfire is only the beginning of the dangers facing them. Hell-bent on saving his daughter from his Continue Reading
Guest Review: Butterfly in Frost by Sylvia Day
When I saw that Day had a new book coming out, I asked my friend Lola if she wanted to read and review for us. Lola is a huge fan of Sylvia Day. Lola also runs MileHighKinkBookClub. Definitely give her a follow on all the things. Take it away Lola- Suspenseful. Gripping. Must Read. Psychological. Intense. Dark. Haunting. I just finished reading and I still feel a prickly sensation on the back of my neck. This is Butterfly in Frost by Sylvia Day. The most anticipated read of the year is Continue Reading

Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away. But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life—the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world—growing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of Continue Reading
Q & A with Kerrigan Byrne
The team from St. Martin's Press provided this Q&A from Kerrigan Byrne about her newest release, How to Love a Duke in Ten Days, out now. Q: What inspired you to write How to Love a Duke in Ten Days? A: I’ve always been one of those women who have enjoyed fierce female friendships. I think that soulmates, even for heterosexual women, can be just as necessary with other women as with men, and a real hero must not just love and respect you, but also your tribe. I wanted to write a Continue Reading
Release Day: OFF LIMITS LOVERS BY REESE RYAN

They're both playing with fire, and someone is about to get burned. Everything is bigger in Texas especially temptation. For attorney and Texas Cattleman’s Club member Roarke Perry, Annabel Currin is about as forbidden as it gets.

10. Keanu and crew will be back for Matrix 4. My movie secret shame is that I have never seen any of the Matrix movies. I tried to watch the first one, on VHS no less, and about 15 minutes in I had no idea what was going on and had to turn it off. But I know many, many folks like Keanu. 9. Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich- Have y’all seen folks on the interwebz talking about this? Well Popeye’s launched a chicken sandwich. WaPo says it’s excellent. Kini says it’s just fine and needed less pickles Continue Reading
