It's been a much better reading week for me this week. And lots more kisses were read. I started One Wedding Two Brides by Heidi Betts, it had a cute blurb and I'm a sucker for a fake marriage. It quickly fell apart for me when the heroine was super drunk but the hero still thought it was okay to get married to her. The heroine also referred to another woman as a bitch and floozy. Hard pass. DNF A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole. I really did not care for this heroine when she was Continue Reading
Review: A Midnight Feast by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner
A Midnight Feast by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner (Fly Me to the Moon #6.5) Historical Romance October 30, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: Falling in love with your husband once was all well and good. Falling in love with him all over again— now that was magic. I have loved every book in this series and this novella was no different.

Review: Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology
Rogue Desire: A Romance Anthology The Rogue Series #1 Contemporary Romance July 20, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini When all else fails, find love. Eight brand new romances for fans of the West Wing, fired-up #resistance fighters, and everyone who ever had a crush on that guy at a protest… I have read several of the authors in this anthology so I was interested to see what kind of story they would tell, especially as it related to resistance.

Guest Post: Emma Barry and Sight Unseen
Emma Barry talks her new release, SIGHT UNSEEN Masquerade balls. Spy fantasies. “Let’s pretend to be strangers” moments. They all jump off from the same question: who can I be if I don’t have to be me? In one of my all-time favorite romances, Elizabeth Hoyt’s The Raven Prince, the widowed Anna wheedles her way into a secretary job only to fall hard for her employer, the gruff Earl of Swartingham. He’s brusque and snappish and obsessed with farming techniques…and she can’t have him. But Continue Reading
Round Midnight by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner
Round Midnight (Fly Me to the Moon, Book 2) Publication Date: November 12, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Kini I follow Emma Barry on Twitter and was super excited when she mentioned she was sending out ARCs. I didn’t even look it up because I have so thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. Also, it should be noted that I almost never read historical. I like my romance in the present, don’t judge me. But seriously, this series by Barry and Turner is Continue Reading

This book gives us two, very intelligent protagonists - a hero who falls in love with a heroine for her brain (and the fact she is wild in bed) and science. I love it. Charlie is an extremely smart woman who Continue Reading

Review: Party Lines by Emma Barry
Party Lines by Emma Barry (The Easy Part #3) Released: January 12, 2015 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi My first "A" read of 2015 comes early and strong.

I didn't want to put it down or miss a detail of the both the romance and the campaign. Emma Barry writes romances Continue Reading
