July 9, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Cara Bastone stopped by to talk about romance and her novel, Just a Heartbeat Away, released on June 30. I have read it and loved it and it will be one of my favorite books this year. There are the good romance novels: the page turners that make you grin at your Kindle and send incoming phone calls to voicemail because there is no way in heck that you’re going to get interrupted in this part of the book.  And then… there are the great romance novels: The ones that you find yourself Continue Reading

April 17, 2018 by Kini Leave a Comment

Jagged by Lauren Dane Whiskey Sharp #2 Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Kini I read and reviewed the first book in this series, Unraveled, earlier this year and didn’t care for it.

I was quickly disappointed. I ended up not getting very far in the book. And here’s Continue Reading

Unraveled by Lauren Dane (Whiskey Sharp #1) Publication Date: January 30, 2018 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Kini I have read almost all of Dane’s contemporaries so I was really excited to see she has a new series coming out. And that is takes place in a barber shop/whiskey bar sounded really cool. She writes great family stories that tend to span over several couples and several books. Laid Bare was the first M/F/M pairing in a book that I had read and I really enjoyed it. Continue Reading

Stranded With The Navy Seal by Susan Cliff Released: November 1, 2017 Romantic Suspense Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Never once had she encountered a stranger's erection and become weak-kneed with lust.

This book is fun - although the SEAL did get on my nerves now and again. Let me set it up. Cady is our chef, and in need to have a Continue Reading
