Review: Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix
Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine. I was willing to look past the fact that the hero is a billionaire. The blurb references being similar to Penny Reid, Sally Thorne, and Jennifer Crusie all of whom are authors of books I have loved. This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading
Review: Tell Me That You’re Mine by Victoria De La O
Tell Me That You’re Mine Tell Me #3 Contemporary Romance August 29, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Why me?” he says, as I bite on his shoulder so I don’t scream. “Because you’re the best person I know.” And then I’m dissolving into particles, and he’s muffling his own cries. This is the third book in a series and I strongly recommend that you read the previous two, especially book one. The hero from this book, Ryan, was featured in the first book and did not end up Continue Reading
Review: Oh, Henry by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Oh, Henry by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff OHellNo #2 NA/Sports Romance August 25, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini When I saw the request for this I thought I would try a new to me author. I am always looking for a good romantic comedy and this seemed like it could be one. The description says it is a stand alone, so I assumed I would be able to read it without reading book one. I was wrong. I made it to 64% and decided to do myself a favor and declare this book a DNF. I had many issues Continue Reading

A perk of reaching your forties.” She yanked her hand up and gently slapped his chest. “Will you stop acting like you’re old?

Irresistible You by Kate Meader Chicago Rebels #1 Sports/Hockey Romance August 14, 2017 MIRA Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: He stared at it for so long she felt foolish and dropped it. “This isn’t Would You Rather, Harper. It doesn’t have to be an either-or choice, a fulfilling career or a happy personal life.” He cupped her face with both hands, searching for Lord knew what. Whatever it was, he wouldn’t find it. “I’m asking you to be a little bit brave here. Lean on me. Let me love Continue Reading
Review: The Awkward Path to Getting Lucky by Summer Heacock
The Awkward Path to Getting Lucky by Summer Heacock Romantic Comedy July 25, 2017 MIRA Reviewed by Kini In thirty-four days, it will have been exactly two years to the day since I've had sex. Having sex wasn't exactly high on Kat Carmichael's priority list while her successful bakery was taking off, especially since things hadn't been working very well in that department. And the last time she and her boyfriend, Ryan, even attempted the act, they found it to be physically Continue Reading
Review: Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology

Eight brand new romances for fans of the West Wing, fired-up #resistance fighters, and everyone who ever had a crush on that guy at a protest… I have read several of the authors in this anthology so I was interested to see what kind of story they would tell, especially as it related to resistance. I am pretty bad at reading Continue Reading

I’m burning.” “Yeah . . . me too.” “No, I’m really burning.” Her hands come to my chest and push as she tries to shove me off her. “Jesus, Ben, my vagina is burning! Something’s wrong! Ow!” Stunned and dazed, I pull out and roll off her, blinking at her in confusion. What the fuck? The heroine of this Continue Reading
