The Royals Next Door by Karina HalleContemporary Romance08/31/21 by BerkleyARC This author is hit or miss for me, but I couldn't pass up a romantic comedy where the heroine's new neighbors are Meghan and Harry-inspired royals and her love interest is their bodyguard. That's just catnip for me as a reader. Piper Evans is a school teacher with a lot on her plate. When royalty moves in next door her life gets a whole lot more complicated. Despite living in a small town there isn't a real Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
The first part of the year hasn’t been great for reading for me. Just a lot of things going on. Nothing Personal by Karina Halle- I really enjoyed some of Halle’s earlier books, but either my reading preferences have changed a lot or she has changed her writing style. This book felt like a bit of a mess to me. I think it was supposed to be funny but I didn’t really find humor in it. The beginning was a bit heavy on calling women skanks (Nova’s ex cheated on her in Vegas with a Continue Reading
Angela’s Monday Mornings
What I read this week: Fire of the Dreki by LE Wilson The Sergones Coven #1 Paranormal Romance October 11, 2018 by Everblood Publishing I really wanted to like this book more than I did.

Taken in by a coven of vampires who make their home in the underground caverns of central Continue Reading

Guest Author Karina Halle
Tori and I love, love, love The Sins & Needles series by Karina Halle. We have reviewed Sins & Needles and Shooting Scars and now we are about to start the final book in the trilogy, Bold Tricks. We have such a love/hate relationship with the villain-ish and complex and frustrating character of Javier Bernal, we asked Karina if she would write about him. The Redemption of Javier Bernal When I first planned out the entire Artists Trilogy (before I even wrote Sins & Needles Continue Reading

The Next Book Everyone Should Read: Sins & Needles by Karina Halle
Sins & Needles by Karina Halle (The Artists Trilogy #1) January 25, 2013 Contemporary/Romantic Suspense Metal Blonde Books Reviewed by Mandi Thanks to the girls at Fiction Vixen for recommending this book. It’s a book that I don’t feel like I can do justice in this review. So much happens, there are so many twists and turns and secrets that I can’t reveal. So I’ll do a basic set-up and maybe ramble for a bit about how much I loved this book. Ellie Watt grew up with con-artist Continue Reading
