Kini’s Friday Kisses- Reviews for books by Julianna Keyes, Nicole Jacquelyn, Elle Spencer, Sarah Mayberry, and a fantastic debut from Diana Biller
I’ve been trying to limit my time on social media and that has allowed me more reading time. After I got off track with my ARCs I made sure to read some over the weekend.

It’s a baseball romance. The heroine works in the PR department for a baseball team. The hero is a short stop on the team the Continue Reading

One year ago today, I officially adopted Kitty-Scarlett. Just 5 days prior I made an impulsive decision to adopt her. I’d been thinking for years about adopting a pet, but it’s a huge commitment. But in early October I was really feeling my aloneness with my son in college and my parents announcing they would be relocating to Nebraska. I just knew I needed some other living being at home with me. I need to feel less alone. I went to my local shelter with the intention of just looking. I knew I Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Charish Reid, Olivia Dade, and Julianna Keyes
My ARC reading has not been great recently, but I have managed to read a few things. Some were ARCs, some were purchases, and some re-reads.

They meet and chemistry is there and they end up being neighbors. Sexy times happen. It’s dual POV so we get insight to each of these slightly broken Continue Reading
