Melinda’s Minis: Learned Behaviors by Jayce Ellis & We Could be Heroes by Mike Chen

February 10, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

Learned Behaviors by Jayce EllisHigher Education #1LBGT Contemporary RomanceNovember 9, 2020 by Carina Press I’m generally not a reader who gravitates to single father stories but this cover drew me in because it’s gorgeous. This story has so much going on, but all of it works together. Two single men, with families, both with heavy work loads, working together and fighting their growing attraction.  I really enjoyed the subplot there is with their two daughters also being in love Continue Reading

Easy Bake Lovin’ by Maggie Wells Play Dates #2 Contemporary Romance March 6, 2018 Lyrical Shine Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: “Normal is a fantasy,” she said, craning her neck to peer over her shoulder at him. “Reality is messy, but so much better.” This is the second book in Wells’ series about single dads and the women they fall for. I reviewed the first book, Play Dates, last year. I liked this one about the same. It was okay but wasn’t great. Georgie is a baker with a Continue Reading

Review: Play Dates by Maggie Wells

October 19, 2017 by Kini Leave a Comment

Play Dates by Maggie Wells Play Dates #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Lyrical Shine Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: He yelped when she yanked, pulling his hair until she could look him in the eye. “Come.” One word and the woman completely unraveled him. Biting his lip, he closed his eyes and emptied every bit of loneliness and longing built up over the week into her. I stumbled upon this author earlier this year when I joined a Facebook group for Seasoned Romance, aka romance Continue Reading
