Top Ten November 1
We made it to Friday!! 10. You have probably heard by now that the Washington Nationals won the World Series! Angela is a huge Astros fan so I was rooting for them. But also, I love 45 minutes from DC so I had to root for the local-ish too team too. I am sad for Angela and the Astros fans, but excited to see the Nats bring the trophy home to DC. I heard there is a parade on Saturday. Any local friends going? 9. Yesterday was Halloween and author Kate Clayborn tweeted about how the heroes Continue Reading
Review: Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
Let’s just get this out of the way, I really enjoyed it and I think it is going to end up on a lot of best of/favorites of 2019, including my own. I went into this book with minimal expectations as I haven’t read any of Talia’s recent works. It was very good. Not a ton of fluff that wasn’t relevant to the story. To quote myself from a tweet from the other night when I was talking about this book “The story is solid. The chemistry is amazing. The emotions are off the Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses: Reviews for books by Liz Talley and Katherine E. Hunt
I have a round up of some meh books I read recently. Room to Breathe by Liz Talley- I read a couple of Talley’s Superromance’s back in the day and really enjoyed them. I was intrigued when I saw the blurb for this. I love a messy relationship, especially between mother and daughter. I want to note now that this book is not a romance but rather fiction with romantic elements. The journey is definitely focused on Daphne and Ellery’s growth. “For a good part of Daphne Witt’s life, she was a 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. In this close relationship, the other person is someone who gets you, doesn’t want to change you, and loves you exactly for who you are, quirks and all. I loved writing about best friends Rafe and Kaitlyn… sprinkling little pieces of their relationship through the series and ending with their love story in All I Want for Christmas Is You. Who else but your BFF is perfect to call you out Continue Reading
