Smexy folks, I have missed you terribly but I am back. Life required my attention a little more than I would have liked recently and it kept me from writing any reviews. It didn’t keep me from reading though, I have lots of books to talk about this week. First up, I ordered the new Kindle Paperwhite and I mostly love it. It came with 6 months of KU so I am trying to catch up on some KU reads :) Adventures in Online Dating by Julie Particka- I LOVE stories centered around online Continue Reading

Things seem to be turning around for my reading. Either I am in a better mood or books are getting better. I think it is a combo of both though. Regardless, I am excited that I read a better batch of books this past week. Sleepover by Serena Bell- I have enjoyed ever book by Bell that I have read and this was no exception. She typically writes emotional and incredibly sexy romances. As a side note, Bell was part of a group of authors, along with Care McKenna, Charlotte Stein, Amy Jo Continue Reading

I read some better books in the last week, but my reading is still meh. It is hard to not let the events of the world bleed in to how I feel about reading. Fireworks by Sarina Bowen. (Pubs 11/13) There is a note in the beginning of the books that says “For every survivor everywhere”. Take that as a content warning. There are mentions of verbal and attempted sexual assault in this book. They are strong in this book. It was heavy and at times, it was hard for me to read. But I did mostly Continue Reading

Once again reading has not been great for me lately. I some life things happening, not bad things, just different things it has been taking up a lot of space in my head. Reading hasn’t been the escape that I need it to be. I hope that things will change soon. Big Stick by Kelly Jamieson- I actually read this last week but forgot that I read it. I think that says something about it. There’s only so many hockey books a person can read before they all blend together. This book was Continue Reading

It’s a small miracle but I finished reading two books this week. And finished listening to an audio book. First up I finally read The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang and I didn’t love it. I never really connected with either character. There were some eyerolly moments with a late intro of a villain that almost caused me to DNF. But I took a break and was able to finish it. Helyce really enjoyed the book and reviewed it recently. I finished Bad Bachelor by Stefanie London on Audio and I really Continue Reading

It's Friday and I stayed up too late watching hockey last night! BUT I finally finished a book!!!! I feel like I deserve a parade. I started The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang last night but had a hard time reading as I was also watching the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup! It is starting out great and I was a bit surprised about how much sex stuff there is so far. I think the cover made me think it was going to be more closed door or at least no body parts mentioned, but I was Continue Reading

Welcome to another week of Kini’s Friday Kisses. This week was filled with half completed reads. I started Binding Law by Micah Persell recently. The main set up is that a woman hires a gigolo and then they end up in a fake relationship. These are all things that I love. But I made it to the 50% mark and it was starting to feel a bit repetitive with little forward movement of the relationship, except for sex. This one seems to be more sex focused than the previous book. And while that is ok, Continue Reading

This was the first year I did the Goodreads reading challenge and really used Goodreads to track my books. It sure was helpful when I went to compile this list.

In no particular order, here are some of the books that I really enjoyed in 2017. On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton- I read this in its entirety in one Continue Reading
