Here's what happened this week on Smexy. Kini: I reread The Roommate by Rosie Danan last weekend and I really enjoyed it both times I've read it. Maybe one of these days I will write a review for it. This week I read Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers (out Feb 2021). This is not a romance but it does have strong romantic elements. This will be the first of many times that I mention this book and URGE you to put it on your TBR. Angela: It’s been a rough week, which means I’m still Continue Reading

I mistakenly thought Stacey was going to be paired with Mitch, so shame on me for jumping to conclusions. Once I refreshed myself on the Continue Reading
