The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- Look, I think y’all should just go ahead and get this book. I think you will not be disappointed. It is funny, sexy, fast-paced, and emotional Lina, the heroine, is a wedding planner. When the book opens she gets jilted on the day of her wedding. Her almost brother in law, Max, is the one who delivers the news. Fast forward three years and Lina and Max are forced to work together. Lina is not happy about this, but she also recognizes that Max is handsome. Lina Continue Reading
Kini’ Friday Kisses- Mini Reviews for books by Jenny Holiday and Charish Reid
It’s the 62nd day of January and I can't wait for January to be over. Here are some thoughts on books I read recently Mermaid Inn by Jenny Holiday. Y’all know I am a fan of Jenny Holiday’s books. This book was good but not a great read for me. The heroine, Evie, returns to the seaside town where she spent her summers while growing up. Her aunt has passed away and left Evie the inn. Evie doesn’t want it, but she doesn’t have options. The hero, Sawyer, is the townie boy who broke Evie’s Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Kate Clayborn, Tasha L. Harrison, Roni Loren, and Emily Belden
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn- I actually read this months ago but just waited to talk about it. I didn’t love this book. It was a good but not great read for me. It felt more like women’s fiction, but that is fine with me because I enjoy WF too. There was a lot of emphasis on the Meg’s work and it felt like too much at times. There is a subplot where Meg and her roommate/former best friend work on repairing their relationship but it also felt like this was a more important relationship to Meg Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses: Mini reviews for books by Adriana Herrera, Tarryn Fisher, and JN Welsh
Here’s a quick round up of books I’ve read recently. Although I don’t have much to say about them. It’s the end of the year, I think I will hit my goal of starting 100 books this year, but have quite a few DNFs this year. I will have more of a wrap up next week. Mangos and Mistletoe by Adriana Herrera- This is super sexy story centered around two competitors of a holiday baking show. (Think Great British Bake Off). This was my first book by Herrera, I have at least one of her Dreamer series Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses- Books by Kate Clayborn, Molly O’Keefe, and Sagan Morrow
A Day in the Death of Walter Zawislak by Molly O’Keefe, pubs 12/9. This book is not a romance but does contain a love story. The story is kind of a mash up of movies Meet Joe Black and A Christmas Carol with a little bit of On Top of the World by the Dixie Chicks thrown in. I don’t want to spoil it but it is an interesting story of a man looking back on his life and coming to grips with his self worth. It has the deep emotions that is Molly’s trademark. I really enjoyed it. It also included Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses: Reviews for books by Liz Talley and Katherine E. Hunt
I have a round up of some meh books I read recently. Room to Breathe by Liz Talley- I read a couple of Talley’s Superromance’s back in the day and really enjoyed them. I was intrigued when I saw the blurb for this. I love a messy relationship, especially between mother and daughter. I want to note now that this book is not a romance but rather fiction with romantic elements. The journey is definitely focused on Daphne and Ellery’s growth. “For a good part of Daphne Witt’s life, she was a Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses with mini reviews for books by J. Daniels, Vanessa North, Lucy Gilmore and Christina Lauren.
I’m back! I read some more books and now I am going to tell you about them. Down Too Deep by J. Daniels- This one has things I love, single parents, one of whom is a widower. But this book did not work well for me. The heroine, Jenna, meets the hero when his daughter is roaming around the restaurant he owns and she offers to babysit the child. They don’t know each other but sort of know of each other through other people. It was weird. CW: Widower spouse who's wife died by 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
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
Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Charish Reid, Olivia Dade, and Julianna Keyes
My ARC reading has not been great recently, but I have managed to read a few things. Some were ARCs, some were purchases, and some re-reads. ARCS: The Write Escape by Charish Reid- This was a decent read. The heroine breaks up with her fiance and then goes off on an adventure in Ireland. The hero is a professor who is stuck in his ways. They meet and chemistry is there and they end up being neighbors. Sexy times happen. It’s dual POV so we get insight to each of these slightly broken Continue Reading
