A Midnight Feast by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner (Fly Me to the Moon #6.5) Historical Romance October 30, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: Falling in love with your husband once was all well and good. Falling in love with him all over again— now that was magic. I have loved every book in this series and this novella was no different. If you aren’t familiar, all the stories in this series take place somewhere in the 40’s-60’s and all have a character that is Continue Reading
Review: The Other Brother by Meghan Quinn
The Other Brother by Meghan Quinn Contemporary/New Adult Romance November 2, 2017 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: I want you forever, Amelia. Please say you’ll be my forever.” With my hands gripping him tightly, my legs not letting go, and my mind fixated on one man and one man alone, I say, “I will be your forever, Aaron. That will never change. When I first read this blurb, I was pretty sure this book was had the potential to be really disappointing, but I wanted to Continue Reading
Review: The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley
The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley The Players #2 Contemporary Romance October 31, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: This kiss was a promise— a promise that there could be more. That their story didn’t have to only be about a hockey player and an escort. It could be about Ben and Ryan. And that would be more than enough. It would, in fact, be everything. The blurb for this book got me with its description of a fake romance, one of my favorite tropes. Also at first glance Continue Reading
Review: His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras
His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras Matched to Perfection #1 Contemporary Romance September 26, 2017 Zebra Shout Reviewed by Kini I was a little worried about reading two dance related books so close together, and although they share several common things like Latinx author, Latinx characters, and dancing, they are very different. Yazmine, our heroine, has been a dancer since she was a young girl. She went to New York after high school and was working in the industry but left Continue Reading
Review: At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske
At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske Romantic Comedy/Women’s Fiction October 3, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Kini I don’t always include blurbs in my reviews any more, but for this review it is necessary. Love doesn’t stick to the script in this witty romance from USA Today bestselling author Tawna Fenske. TV producer Kate Geary is in unscripted heaven. She’s piloting a reality series featuring her favorite self-help guru, Dr. Vivienne Brandt. The Dr. Viv—whose nuggets of Continue Reading
Review: Take the Lead by Alexis Daria
Take the Lead by Alexis Daria Dance Off #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini This is basically a romance novel set in a fictional version of Dancing with the Stars. I watch the show with some regularity, so I was pretty interested in this book. It also features a Latinx heroine by a Latinx author, doubling my interest. Gina is a pro dancer on “The Dance Off” and really wants a strong partner to help her to the championship and ultimately win the show. She Continue Reading
Review: Play Dates by Maggie Wells
Play Dates by Maggie Wells Play Dates #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Lyrical Shine Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: He yelped when she yanked, pulling his hair until she could look him in the eye. “Come.” One word and the woman completely unraveled him. Biting his lip, he closed his eyes and emptied every bit of loneliness and longing built up over the week into her. I stumbled upon this author earlier this year when I joined a Facebook group for Seasoned Romance, aka romance Continue Reading
Review: Completely by Ruthie Knox
Completely by Ruthie Knox Series: New York #3 Contemporary Romance September 26, 2017 Loveswept Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: Rosemary Chamberlain was no pink-cardboard-and-plastic princess. She was a flesh-and-blood woman with plans that made it impossible— literally impossible— for the two of them to turn into anything. She had her own stuff, her own interests, her own power, her own life. He liked that about her, liked that she listened and formed her own opinions, but he Continue Reading
Passionflix Movie Review: Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre
Passionflix Movie -Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre Reviewed by Kini Passionflix is a streaming subscription service turning romance novels into movies. I heard about probably late last year or early this year. I did a Google search and RT first mentioned it last October. My memories are fuzzy, but I have been excited about it ever since. I LOVE Hallmark movies, but they never feature more than kisses on the mouth. Sex isn’t the only thing I love about romance novels, but I usually like Continue Reading
The Corner of Forever and Always by Lia Riley
The Corner of Forever and Always by Lia Riley Series: Everland, Georgia #2 Contemporary Romance September 26, 2017 Forever Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Fuck the necklace. You’re the magic.” This is the second in a series that takes place in a small town in Georgia. The town and its various residents are pretty much characters in their own right. I think that small town can be run the risk of being too cutesy or too much time spent on the other inhabitants. This book had a few Continue Reading
