Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLeanThe Bareknuckle Bastards #2Historical RomanceJuly 30, 2019 by AvonARC I loved this book. In every way. From the first word until the last had I heart eyes and a big ole smile on my face. My kindle copy has seven million highlights because Hattie and Whit had the most wonderful back and forth banter and I didn't want to forget a single word. Even the secondary characters are amazing. I think Nora, Hattie's sister of the heart, ride or die BFF, is one of my Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
I feel like it has been forever since I talked about what I was reading! I looked back and it has been a few weeks, but I am back now. Here’s what I read recently. What Matters More by Liora Blake- I picked this up because I have read and enjoyed all of her previous books. For the most part I found this book boring and lacking emotional connection. Too much emotional stuff happened off page. That is annoying to me. There was a fair amount of sex though if that is something you are Continue Reading

Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe The Four Hundred #3 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Reviewed by Angela: The entire time I was reading this book I had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and dread.

You see the hero in A Notorious Vow is deaf, and I grew up in a partially deaf household. I know the stories of how my father was Continue Reading
