Guest Post: Romance Take Two by Sabrina Sol

October 16, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Second Chance romance is one of my absolute favorite tropes. When I saw that Sabrina is part of an anthology, Do It Again, featuring 5 novellas about second chance, I asked her to write a post about the trope and the anthology. Take it away Sabrina- Is love sweeter the second time around? According to the popular trope known as Second Chance Romance, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” I love a Second Chance Romance because I think the stakes are higher and the main characters have Continue Reading

Once Upon a Wedding- Guest Post by Barbara Samuel

June 14, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

Author Barbara Samuel stopped by to give us some info on her contribution to the Once Upon a Wedding anthology, out June 11th. I LOVE second chance romance and can't wait to read this. I love reunion romances.  I mean, really. Who doesn’t wonder what if about some old sweetheart?   Awhile back, I read a statistic that said that if a pair of former boyfriend/girlfriends meet many years later and both are single, they have a very high probability of getting Continue Reading

Review: Exposed: A Romance Anthology

March 21, 2018 by Kini Leave a Comment

Exposed: A Romance Anthology Contemporary Romance March 13, 2018 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini I picked up this antho because it had several authors that I have never read and I thought this would be a good introduction to their writing. I have been in a reading slump so reading short stories was kind of perfect for me. I only read four of the stories and will give a brief review below. All the stories have the same general theme. One of the characters has been chosen to participate Continue Reading

Review: Rogue Acts: The Rogue Series Book #3

January 23, 2018 by Kini Leave a Comment

Rogue Acts: The Rogue Series Book #3 Contemporary Romance January 19, 2018 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini Typically at Smexy we like to keep things focused on romance and happy ever afters, but it is occasionally necessary to acknowledge that the last year or so has been very hard for many in this country. It is my understanding that the Rogue anthologies came about as authors wanted to talk about and share stories about the resistance. The blurb about the theme of the third set of Continue Reading

Review: Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology

August 7, 2017 by Kini Leave a Comment

Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology The Rogue Series #1 Contemporary Romance July 20, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini When all else fails, find love. 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
