Happy Saturday! I love weekends when I can relax, unwind and disappear into one of my many fictional escapes. I'm dedicating today to all of my snarky heroines out there who have given me hours of pleasure and the sorest of sides from laughter. One of my all time fav heroines who delivers her snark and her sex with vigor- Chicagoland's, Merit! Merit was a coed, targeted and marked for death, and saved by the bite of a Master Vampire, Ethan. Oh, baby, Ethan. I love you LONG time! Hands Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
It’s been a slow reading week for me which is a shame after the excitement I had over Polaris Rising. I started Crazy On You by Crystal B. Bright which I listed on my February TBR and it was a disappointment. The heroine, Tassia, made a lot of assumptions about everything but especially the hero and I just couldn’t handle it. The hero, Hyde, kept going back and forth about a thing I needed that to stop as well. They were both annoying me and because of that, I wasn’t feeling their chemistry Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings
Any Old Diamonds by KJ CharlesLilywhite Boys #1M/M Historical RomanceJanuary 30, 2019 Self Published Favorite Quote: "Talk about making a profit on a job. I stole you, and I'm keeping you."
