Kini’s Friday Kisses
The world is kind of on fire these days and books have been hit or miss for me. I also picked up no less than 3 books this week and because of blurbs or start dates, decided not to read them. FYI- If you are in the MD/DC/VA area, come out to the Baltimore Book Festival where Maryland Romance Writers will have a tent filled with panels and romance peeps, including me. Here is the full schedule. Never Sweeter by Charlotte Stein- I saw several people on Twitter talking about this and I felt like Continue Reading

Mills & Boon Book Club Review
Earlier this month I jumped at the chance to receive a book box from Mills & Boon. When I started reading romance I had seen ad olds for Harlequin and how they used to send out a collection so I have always been intrigued by this concept. The subscription has several different subgenres you can choose from, but I went for the Dare line. I have seen several of the titles but just haven’t had the chance to read any. Y’all know the reader struggle is very real. You can see my unboxing on my Continue Reading

Review: Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven
Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven Fallen Empire #1 Fantasy Romance September 25, 2018 by Ace Favorite Quote: "Stay with me, Gilene," he whispered in her ear. "I can't," she murmured, still half asleep. "I will conquer all of the Empire to bring you back." Reviewed by Angela This was probably my most anticipated book this year. If you were to ask me to make a list of my favorite fantasy romances of all time, Grace Draven would have four or five titles in my top ten. She 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. I've enjoyed this author previously, so when I saw this up for review I didn't even read the blurb, I just hit the request button. I wasn't prepared. 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
Angela’s Monday Mornings
Happy Monday! What I read this week: Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen The Devils of Dover #2 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Favorite Quote: "Save your shiny armor and white horse for something better than my sensibilities." This was such a lovely romance. The hero, Eli Dawes, Earl of Rivers, rides off to war a cocky, young rake and returns home many years later a broken, wounded man. He would have rather disappeared and never returned at all, but when his Continue Reading
Seven Smexy Reasons to read Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh!
Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh Hard Play, #2 9/18/2018 TKA Distribution Review by Sheena You guys. Whatever the lung friendly equivalent to smoking a cigarette is, I'm totally doing it. Because how else do you cap off the reading of such a fulfilling, romantic, decadent, beautiful love story? You see, Rebel Hard was destined to be devoured. Not just because Singh is an auto-read, not just because the cover is yum. The blurb folks; the synopsis sang a siren's song to all of my reader senses. Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Happy Hump day to all my randy readers! Today's lovey/lusty offerings are once again from Annika Martin, because- smexy! After reading and raving over Martin's Billionaire's Wake-Up Call Girl, I received a rec to check out the preceding novel, Most Eligible Billionaire and I'm soo glad I did. I’m Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that’s what my elderly neighbor always says.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to her dog, Smuckers. With me Continue Reading
