Novellas have always had a special place in my heart. When it comes to romance specifically, I love long, expansive books that allow me to get lost in pages upon pages of a love story. But I’m a total sucker for watching characters get or stay together in under forty thousand words. When they’re done well, they take a much shorter time for me to read, but still manage to give me an entire story to feel satisfied with. When I set out to write my very first romance novella, Just One More, I went Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update- Reviews for books by Tracy Lauren, AJ Demas, and Selene Charles
I didn't have any review books for this week so I decided to take a look at my Kindle TBR and KU lists and see what has been languishing unread for awhile. I couldn't decide what of my Kindle Unlimited books to read so I kind of closed my eyes and randomly picked. My finger landed on Tamed by the Troll by Tracy Lauren (The Perished Woods #1). This is a new to me author and I think I added it to my KU because an author on social media recommended. Although I don't remember who that author Continue Reading

Guest Post: Lingerie Influencers and Brands Who Inspire by Erin McLellan
In my most recent release, Candy Hearts, one of the heroes, Benji, loves wearing lingerie and sexy undergarments. This is part of his self-expression, and he was a very fun character to write.

His sister (the heroine of Stocking Stuffers) is head of marketing for a lingerie and sex toy company, and one of the other side characters in this story is a lingerie designer. Benji wears lingerie throughout the story, and by the end of the book, he Continue Reading
Top Ten- February 7, 2020
It is FINALLY Friday. I took a quick trip to the mid-west last weekend to visit my mom, our family, and to go be an observer at the Iowa Caucus. Y’all, I may have broken their system. Just kidding. It was fun to go see the process of the caucus even though I still don’t really understand it. LOL Anyway, back to the top ten! 10. One of the things I did on my 4 days, 4 states trip last weekend was meet-up with some of the folks from KC (Kansas City) Body Liberation. I’ve been following them on Continue Reading

Guest Post: One More Time: Some Favorite Second-Chance Romances by Ruby Lang
Second Chance Romance is one of my (Kini) favorite tropes so I was thrilled to get the chance to have Ruby put together a list of recommendations. Ruby's new novel, House Rules, releases on February 10. I love second-chance romances because they are unabashedly about personal growth. The main characters in this kind of story are trying to prove that they are no longer the people who couldn’t end up together. For example, in my upcoming contemporary romance, House Rules, the third in my Continue Reading
