But it is Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
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
Review: Do Over by Serena Bell
Do Over by Serena Bell Contemporary Romance January 30, 2018 Loveswept Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: Jack and I are bound together, and even though in a lot of ways it makes no sense at all, in other ways, it is the most logical thing in the world. I will pretty much always read a book where the main characters had a baby together but aren’t together and now get their second chance at love. I have read several books by Serena Bell and I am never disappointed, this book was no Continue Reading

Review: Still So Hot! by Serena Bell
Still so Hot! by Serena Bell Released: December 17, 2013 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi What struck me initially about this book was the set-up and my dislike of it. Elisa is a dating coach, owning her own business which is still getting off the ground. She not only plays matchmaker but she really spends a lot of time with her clients to point out what they do right and wrong when it comes to love. She finally lands a Hollywood client, an up and coming actress Continue Reading
Review (maybe more of a rant): Yours to Keep by Serena Bell
Yours to Keep by Serena Bell Released: November 11, 2013 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I’m pretty disappointed with this one. The quick set-up is that the hero Ethan is a widower with a teenage son and they don’t have a great relationship. He is a pediatrician and he realizes he needs a spanish tutor for his son. Enter the heroine. Ana is an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic. She came over at the age of seven on her father’s work visa, but then her Continue Reading
Review: Heating up the Holidays Anthology
Heating up the Holidays Anthology Released: October 28, 2013 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Play With Me by Lisa Renee Jones I DNF’d this story. Hero is this cold businessman. Heroine is hired as his assistant. I did not like at all. I wish this story wasn’t the first in the anthology. Oh well. Snowfall by Mary Ann Rivers. Blurb: Jenny Wright can’t get enough of her erotic conversations with someone she knows only as “C.” Flirting online helps Jenny Continue Reading
