Review: The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

April 8, 2021 by Kate Leave a Comment

The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan Contemporary Romance April 6, 2021 by Berkley Reviewed by Kate The Intimacy Experiment is a novel with lots of promise. Unfortunately, I felt that Danan's sophomore book didn't quite deliver on the expectations I had. I'll start with what did work for me in The Intimacy Experiment. First, the characters. Naomi is a bad-ass boss bitch and Ethan is a cute cinnamon roll and neither of those things was the conflict between the two. I am a big fan of Continue Reading

Kini’s Favorite Books of 2020

December 26, 2020 by Kini 4 Comments

2020 brought us many, many challenges. But the one thing that remained a constant reprieve for me from the challenges were books. I didn’t read as many as I hoped. I didn’t love as many as I usually do, but still the books were there when I needed them. I had a hard time coming up with this list for many reasons. The list doesn’t represent the “best” books but rather the ones I loved the most because they brought me joy and happiness while I read them.  In no particular Continue Reading

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley, C.S. Harris, Anna Lee Huber, and Christine Trent 9/1, Historical Fiction/Historical Mystery: I grabbed an early copy of this as soon as I saw Susanna Kearsley and C.S. Harris were contributers, but I'm also looking forward to getting a taste of a couple of new to me authors as well. Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses 5/29- Mini review for books by Meryl Wilsner and Annika Martin and a couple of DNFs’

May 29, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

I have had a miserable reading week and I DNF’ed 3 books.  Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner- I read this back in January when Berkley so kindly sent me a paperback galley. I really enjoyed it. It is super SLOW burn. But it felt very authentic to the characters. I really enjoyed watching Emma and Jo’s friendship blossom into romantic love. There are little hints throughout the story that even as “friends” they are more than just friends. They each do little things for each other that Continue Reading

Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020 

January 2, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading
