Review: Broken Lines by Jagger Cole
Broken Lines by Jagger ColeNew Adult RomanceOctober 27, 2022Kindle Unlimited Review by Jen This book wasn’t on my radar at all. Until, someone told me the author was a guy and then I was super intrigued. Plus there's all kinds of delicious trope candy; big age gap, rockstar romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden love in many ways. Jackson Havoc is a huge star. His band is crazy popular. All the guys are friends. When Jackson’s best friend and bandmate dies, Jackson disappears. Continue Reading
Review: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue
Series: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha RueNew Adult RomanceFebruary 12, 2021 Review by Jen This reverse harem series by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue is VERY intense and if you have any triggers, they’re probably somewhere in one of these books. Seriously. Not a series for the sensitive, check content warnings. Lords of Pain is the first book. Our heroine Story has a troubled past. She’s no angel, and her mom was a prostitute, her step dad met Continue Reading
Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
Reminders of Him by Colleen HooverNew Adult RomanceJanuary 18, 2022 Review by Jen I am once again asking you to read Colleen Hoover. Reminders of Him was soooo good! I used my KU membership and clicked it as one of my 20 books each month. Then, bought the audible, for I think $1.99. Well worth it! This was a heartbreaker!!! It’s hard not to read a book like this and imagine the situation happening in your own life. Kenna is the FMC, she was found responsible for the death of Continue Reading
Jen’s Audible Minis: Sinner by Sierra Simone, Regretting You by Colleen Hoover, November 9 by Colleen Hoover
I’m calling this sex + two awesome Coho books. First with the sex… Sinner by Sierra Simone is the second book in the Priest series. The first book features Father Bell and this one is about his brother, Sean. I listened to both books. Narrator, Zachary Webber is THE best!! This was one of the hottest, spiciest books I’ve ever heard. Like blushing, someone hand me a giant glass of water hot. Wow, wow, wow!!! But, lest you think it’s all about the sex, the story was equally Continue Reading
Review: Pretty Boy D by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne
Pretty Boy D by Rachel Jonas and Nikki ThorneNew Adult Contemporary RomanceJuly 9, 2021 Self Published Review by Jen Pretty Boy D is the next smexy installment in the Kings of Cypress Point series by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne. We’re working our way through the hot triplet brothers and Dane Golden is the star of this book. Dane, Pretty Boy D, is a beautiful, social media star/athlete who is rich, snarky, and to quote Bella from Twilight “unconditionally and irrevocably in Continue Reading
Review: Hannaford Prep, The Complete Series by J. Bree
Hanaford Prep: The Complete Series by J BreeNew Adult/ Young Adult Contemporary RomanceSelf Published Review by Jen Takes a drink. Where do I begin? Let's start with the title. I read several books, 1-4 to be exact. BUT, to say it’s complete isn’t exactly true. There are several storylines you can follow in multiple other books. There are many characters with complex backstories and you could be busy for months if you choose to be. This series was highly recommended in one Continue Reading
Book + Wine Pairing: The Elite Kings Series by Amo Jones
I love to drink wine when I’m reading and thought it would be fun to try a new concept, book + wine pairing recommendations. Grab a glass and let’s begin. The Silver Swan by Amo Jones has been on my wish list for awhile and recently showed up as a freebie on Amazon. I’m a fan of dark romance and this book pushed all the right buttons. It was also absurd, completely improbable, introduced multiple characters and storylines, so many mysterious circumstances, relationships and numerous Continue Reading
Review: The Villain by L.J. Shen
The Villain by L.J. ShenNew Adult and College RomanceDecember 16th, 2020Self Published Reviewed by Jen The Villain by L.J. Shen is the second book in her Boston Belles spin-off series. The Villain is the story of Cillian, nickname Kill, and Persephone (Persy). Kill is the brother of Hunter from book one. Kill is cold, sharp, callous, ruthless, and fairly unredeemable for me. I’ve really enjoyed Shen’s books, but this one didn’t sit as well. A very good read, but not one I was completely Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
I feel like it has been forever since I talked about what I was reading! I looked back and it has been a few weeks, but I am back now. Here’s what I read recently. What Matters More by Liora Blake- I picked this up because I have read and enjoyed all of her previous books. For the most part I found this book boring and lacking emotional connection. Too much emotional stuff happened off page. That is annoying to me. There was a fair amount of sex though if that is something you are Continue Reading
