So. its Monday morning. I'm between novels and looking for something interesting...different to try on for size. My next anticipated read is Ward's Blood Truth (ugh, one more week) so in the meanwhile, I need something quick and easy and I'm in the mood to have a little fun. Timing is impeccable because Angela's new releases post was just what I needed. Not really sure what I'm looking for, I let my eyes do the choosin' and they land on Forbidden Kiss' cover. Salt -n-pepper beard- yep, Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
The Right Swipe by Alisha RaiModern Love #1Contemporary RomanceAugust 6, 2019 by Avon ARC I love Alisha Rai romances. I love the diversity of her casts. I love that her main protagonists always have supportive and loving friends and family. I love that found families are frequently a theme within her stories. Her books are sex positive and feminist and filled with characters beautifully and perfectly flawed. Also, she can write the hell out of a sex scene. The Right Swipe had everything 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: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
I saw this book announced last year and the blurb caught my attention. I eagerly awaited its arrival on Netgalley. I started following Abby on social media and was curious to know if the book would be as funny as she is online. In early 2019 I started seeing bloggers and bookstagrammers get ARCs and I waited patiently. I started to see 5 stars reviews for the book from big name publications and still I waited for a sign I might get the ARC. I also avoided all reviews of the book. Until one Continue Reading

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuistonLGBT Contemporary RomanceMay 14, 2019 by St. Martin's Griffin KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I loved this book. LOVED. I loved the snark and quirky main (and secondary) characters and the enemies to lovers and the heartfelt emails sent back and forth with their beautiful historical quotes and the sex in well known settings. I loved how the author managed to make this couple's relationship and the worldbuilding feel fresh and new even though the Continue Reading
