Kini’s Friday Kisses 5/29- Mini review for books by Meryl Wilsner and Annika Martin and a couple of DNFs’
I have had a miserable reading week and I DNF’ed 3 books. Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner- I read this back in January when Berkley so kindly sent me a paperback galley. I really enjoyed it. It is super SLOW burn. But it felt very authentic to the characters. I really enjoyed watching Emma and Jo’s friendship blossom into romantic love. There are little hints throughout the story that even as “friends” they are more than just friends. They each do little things for each other that Continue Reading
Review: Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik
Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik Consortium Rebellion #3 Science Fiction Romance May 19, 2020 by Harper Voyager ARC For some reason I didn't realize this series was only a trilogy and Chaos Reigning was the very last book until about halfway in. I'm sure I'd read about that somewhere earlier, but it just didn't register. Now I'm all like NOOOOOOO, give me more! As much as I enjoyed the first book in the series, Polaris Rising, and Ada and her sexy as hell man Loch, I think this might be my Continue Reading

Excerpt: The Hideaway Inn by Philip William Stover
Author Introduction I’m going to lean into the Smexy brand here and share my skinny dipping scene. What is smarter or sexier than skinny dipping? When you don’t wear a swimsuit you don’t have to worry about drying it so that has the added bonus of not needing to do laundry which is probably good for the environment. So all that is firmly in the smart column. Now for an M/M romance with a skinny dipping scene in a crystal clear spring-fed stream we are going to have to deal with a word I like Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for He’s Come Undone Romance anthology, and books by Emily Henry, Tash Skilton, and Kwana Jackson
I’ve been fortunate to get lost in some really good books lately. He’s Come Undone Romance Anthology by Adriana Herrera, Emma Barry, Olivia Dade, Ruby Lang, and Cat Sebastian. Here’s a little about each of the stories in the order they appear in the book. Appassionata by Emma Barry- This story is about a pianist and a piano tuner. It was so heavy on the piano world that I kept getting hung up on things that I didn’t understand. It was taking me days to get through this story so I decided Continue Reading
Guest Post: Small Town Romance Recommendations by Chelsea M. Cameron
Chelsea's new book, The Girl Next Door, will be released on May 26. She stopped by to give us some recs for some other small town romances. Thanks Chelsea! I’m from a small town. When I say that, I don’t think a lot of people have a concept of HOW small I mean. I’m talking less than 3,000 people. I went to the same school for kindergarten through eighth grade. Many of the teachers I had are still teaching there, some of them with friends of mine who are now teachers themselves. Our town Continue Reading
