Kini’ Friday Kisses- Mini Reviews for books by Jenny Holiday and Charish Reid

January 31, 2020 by Kini Leave a Comment

It’s the 62nd day of January and I can't wait for January to be over. Here are some thoughts on books I read recently Mermaid Inn by Jenny Holiday. Y’all know I am a fan of Jenny Holiday’s books. This book was good but not a great read for me. The heroine, Evie, returns to the seaside town where she spent her summers while growing up. Her aunt has passed away and left Evie the inn. Evie doesn’t want it, but she doesn’t have options. The hero, Sawyer, is the townie boy who broke Evie’s Continue Reading

Guest Post: How a Librarian from The Mummy Inspired Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid

January 30, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Charish's new book, Hearts on Hold, releases next week, 2/3 and she stopped by to talk a little bit about the inspiration behind it. FYI- I finished this book last week and will have a mini review tomorrow, it was good, so you should go ahead and preorder it :) I saw the 1999 The Mummy when I was thirteen-years-old and sang it’s cinematic praises for about four months straight. I’m certain my friends grew exhausted by my excessive fan-girling…  But what I loved most was the blossoming Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Charish Reid, Olivia Dade, and Julianna Keyes

October 4, 2019 by Kini 11 Comments

My ARC reading has not been great recently, but I have managed to read a few things. Some were ARCs, some were purchases, and some re-reads. ARCS: The Write Escape by Charish Reid- This was a decent read. The heroine breaks up with her fiance and then goes off on an adventure in Ireland. The hero is a professor who is stuck in his ways. They meet and chemistry is there and they end up being neighbors. Sexy times happen. It’s dual POV so we get insight to each of these slightly broken Continue Reading

Guest Post: Writing with Baggage by Charish Reid

September 30, 2019 by Kini 2 Comments

When I first saw this tweet, I laughed until I realized that I was being dragged by Twitter’s #WritingCommunity. As you can imagine, thousands of writers liked and retweeted this image, making us all a band of scarred adults just trying to keep our collective shit together. Sure, I’ve had therapy and journaled my feelings, but there’s nothing quite satisfying like giving all my baggage over to another person and seeing how they sort it out. I’m not ashamed to say that I do that with my own Continue Reading

Smexy’s September TBR

September 4, 2019 by Angela 7 Comments

Angela: I have so many books on my TBR this month I don't even have room to list them all. LOL. Lord of the Last Heartbeat by May Peterson 9/2- I saw someone tweet about this book months ago and knew I had to read it. A m/m fantasy romance put out by Carina Press, who quite frankly has published some of my favorite reads in the last few years. Here's a line from the blurb: In a world teeming with mages, ghosts and dark secrets, love blooms between the unlikely pair. But if they are to be Continue Reading
