People We Meet on Vacation by Emily HenryContemporary Romance/Women's FictionMay 11, 2021, by BerkleyARCReview by Angela Favorite Quote: "You're staring at me because I'm tall?" Alex says"Very tall," I say, as if that clears things up. It's easier than saying, I have missed you, beautiful smile. It's so good to see you, strong arms and legs. Thank you, freakishly taut belly, for feeding this person I love so much. After reading last year's release by this author, Beach Read, I couldn't Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses 11/8/19
I don’t have many books to talk about today. I was so busy last weekend participating in 7 panels at the Maryland Romance Writers stage at Baltimore Book Festival. It was so much fun and I got to talk about books and I absolutely love it. I will try to write a wrap up this weekend. I did manage to finish one book this week. That is kind of love for me, but the time change has been kind of brutal. I hope next week I will be back to a better sleep pattern. All I Want for Christmas is Continue Reading
Guest Post: Friends to Lovers Recommendations by Miranda Liasson
Writing a romance where the hero and heroine know each other well and are best friends was a lot of fun.

Who else but your BFF is perfect to call you out Continue Reading

Review: Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow
Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow (Colorado Ice #3) Released: September 26, 2017 Contemporary Romance Forever Reviewed by Mandi I love to try holiday romance, but to be honest, I find that the majority I try just don't do it for me. I've found some super great holiday reads, but I go in a little wary. Jennifer Snow is a new to me author, and I love a hockey hero so I gave it a try and hooray, I liked it! It's not necessarily super-holiday, but hockey is prominent and it's a well Continue Reading
