Kini’s Friday Kisses: Mini reviews for books by Adriana Herrera, Tarryn Fisher, and JN Welsh

December 20, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Here’s a quick round up of books I’ve read recently. Although I don’t have much to say about them. It’s the end of the year, I think I will hit my goal of starting 100 books this year, but have quite a few DNFs this year. I will have more of a wrap up next week.  Mangos and Mistletoe by Adriana Herrera- This is super sexy story centered around two competitors of a holiday baking show. (Think Great British Bake Off). This was my first book by Herrera, I have at least one of her Dreamer series Continue Reading

It’s Friday!! 10. Winter is starting to creep in to Maryland and I am not ready. It took me all of last week to adjust to the time change.

Wednesday night the CMAs were on and I stayed awake until 11pm to watch them. I have sorted of listened to country music for many years but only recently come to terms with my enjoyment of it.

Guest Post: White Whiskey Bargain’s Origin Story by Jodie Slaughter

September 25, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

The original idea for White Whiskey Bargain came to me a few years ago. The book that I started back then was pretty different from what it eventually became. One thing that stayed the same throughout, though, was the fact that the main characters were people of color -- Black and Latinx people specifically. White Whiskey Bargain takes place throughout multiple small towns in Appalachian Kentucky. The MCs are an African-American woman and a Mexican-American man respectively, both from families Continue Reading

May 17, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Hello Smexy Blog readers I am baaaaaack with my Dream Cast for American Fairytale, my upcoming release which is second book in the Dreamers series.
