Angela’s Minis- The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler and Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan

May 6, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

The Tourist Attraction by Sarah MorgenthalerMoose Springs, Alaska #1Contemporary RomanceMay 5, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC I think it was the grumpy hero in the blurb that clinched the deal for me as far as snapping up this book for review. I was expecting a fun, easy read and that's exactly what I got. The Tourist Attraction is the book equivalent of a Hallmark movie. Beautiful small town touristy setting, quirky characters, a couple of "awww" inducing pets for comic relief, and a Continue Reading

Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

May 31, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

I saw this book announced last year and the blurb caught my attention. I eagerly awaited its arrival on Netgalley. I started following Abby on social media and was curious to know if the book would be as funny as she is online. In early 2019 I started seeing bloggers and bookstagrammers get ARCs and I waited patiently. I started to see 5 stars reviews for the book from big name publications and still I waited for a sign I might get the ARC. I also avoided all reviews of the book. Until one Continue Reading

Excerpt: Devil on Your Shoulder by Elyssa Patrick

April 3, 2019 by Kini 2 Comments

Elyssa Patrick's new rom-com, The Devil on Your Shoulder, releases tomorrow 4/4. I can not wait to read it. Elyssa was kind enough to share an excerpt with us. No one expects a meet-hate at a wedding. But when an arrogant playboy steals her seat, a plus-sized wallflower finds herself engaged in a battle of insults . . . and a kissing duel. Kisses are one thing, but love is a declaration of war. Nora prepared herself for the worst. She was going to let this man—this man she didn’t Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses

January 11, 2019 by Kini 5 Comments

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

Marriage of Inconvenience by Penny Reid Knitting in the City, #7 Romance Comedy March 6, 2017 Self Published Reviewed By Tori Favorite Quote: “Trust me that I want every part of you.” “What if parts of me are messy? Or ugly?” “Parts of you are ugly and messy. I still want you. I want the ugly and the beautiful and everything in between.

Man Card by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby

January 15, 2018 by Kini 4 Comments

Man Card by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby Man Hands #2 Publication Date: January 15, 2018 Romantic Comedy Self Published Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Ash,” he whispers, kissing me softly but still holding my wrists. He gives a little nudge with his hips and I can feel him under the fabric, just bursting to get free. I want him. God, how I want him. Inside me. Now. I groan a little because words are too hard to use. He shakes his head. “I need to say this. I want you, you Continue Reading

Review: At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske

October 26, 2017 by Kini 2 Comments

At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske Romantic Comedy/Women’s Fiction October 3, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Kini I don’t always include blurbs in my reviews any more, but for this review it is necessary. Love doesn’t stick to the script in this witty romance from USA Today bestselling author Tawna Fenske. TV producer Kate Geary is in unscripted heaven. She’s piloting a reality series featuring her favorite self-help guru, Dr. Vivienne Brandt. The Dr. Viv—whose nuggets of Continue Reading

Review: Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix

September 19, 2017 by Kini Leave a Comment

Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine. I was willing to look past the fact that the hero is a billionaire. The blurb references being similar to Penny Reid, Sally Thorne, and Jennifer Crusie all of whom are authors of books I have loved. This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading
