Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Sarah Morganthaler, Molly O’Keefe, Cecelia London and a couple of DNFs
I’ve read a lot of books that I haven’t talked about yet, so I am trying to catch up. The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morganthaler- The premise to this sounds so cute.

Zoey travels to Alaska and meets Graham, a diner owner who really hates the tourist who Continue Reading
Sheena’s Six Smexy Reasons to Read, The Business of Lovers by Eric Jerome Dickey
Eric Jerome Dickey has been in my upper echelon of favorite of fave authors for more than a decade.

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
