Sexcerpt: Lethal Redemption by April Hunt

November 24, 2019 by Kini 2 Comments

I LOVED writing this scene in Lethal Redemption! From four years old until her escape at the age of thirteen, Grace Steele had lived within the Order of the New Dawn, a cult buried deep in the West Virginian mountains. It was after her ‘defection’ that she found the family she was always meant to have with father’s sister and four overgrown cousins, and that family also came with the boy next door, Cade Wright. Her and Cade’s relationship grew from friends to teenage sweetheart, and finally to Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses 11/8/19

November 8, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

I don’t have many books to talk about today. I was so busy last weekend participating in 7 panels at the Maryland Romance Writers stage at Baltimore Book Festival. It was so much fun and I got to talk about books and I absolutely love it. I will try to write a wrap up this weekend.  I did manage to finish one book this week. That is kind of love for me, but the time change has been kind of brutal. I hope next week I will be back to a better sleep pattern. All I Want for Christmas is Continue Reading

Guest Post: Friends to Lovers Recommendations by Miranda Liasson

October 30, 2019 by Kini 7 Comments

Writing a romance where the hero and heroine know each other well and are best friends was a lot of fun. In this close relationship, the other person is someone who gets you, doesn’t want to change you, and loves you exactly for who you are, quirks and all.  I loved writing about best friends Rafe and Kaitlyn… sprinkling little pieces of their relationship through the series and ending with their love story in All I Want for Christmas Is You. Who else but your BFF is perfect to call you out Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Reviews for books by Julianna Keyes, Nicole Jacquelyn, Elle Spencer, Sarah Mayberry, and a fantastic debut from Diana Biller

October 11, 2019 by Kini 3 Comments

I’ve been trying to limit my time on social media and that has allowed me more reading time. After I got off track with my ARCs I made sure to read some over the weekend. Since last week I read 4.5 books. Here’s some thoughts about them. Team Player by Juliana Keyes- I closed out my Keyes binge by finally reading this book that has been on my TBR for several months. It’s a baseball romance. The heroine works in the PR department for a baseball team. The hero is a short stop on the team the Continue Reading

Giveaway: Celebrating Kitty Scarlett’s One Year Adoptiversary

October 10, 2019 by Kini 32 Comments

One year ago today, I officially adopted Kitty-Scarlett. Just 5 days prior I made an impulsive decision to adopt her. I’d been thinking for years about adopting a pet, but it’s a huge commitment. But in early October I was really feeling my aloneness with my son in college and my parents announcing they would be relocating to Nebraska. I just knew I needed some other living being at home with me. I need to feel less alone. I went to my local shelter with the intention of just looking. I knew I Continue Reading

Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

May 31, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

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

Kini’s Friday Kisses

February 1, 2019 by Kini 2 Comments

Now or Never by Victoria Denault Now or Never by Victoria Denault I have never read this author before but the blurb really caught my attention. I absolutely LOVE second chance romances. Add in the twist where the heroine, Winnie, broke the hero’s nose when they were teenagers and I was hooked. They reconnect after the heroine’s father dies and the heroine is wallowing in her grief at the family vacation cabin. The hero, Holden, is hired by Winnie’s brother to renovate the cabin. Holden Continue Reading

Review: Three Little Kisses by Jenny Holiday

February 1, 2019 by Kini 8 Comments

I think I have been hesitant to write about this book because I can't possibly formulate the appropriate words to tell you how incredibly good this book is. It was a fantastic close to a fantastic series. In previous books Gia didn't seem like she would be my favorite. Because I really love Jane. And adored Wendy. But Gia, oh man, Gia blew me away. She's lacking roots. She's struggling with her body. Struggled with who she is and where she fits it. She is a loyal friend. She is determined Continue Reading
