Mills & Boon Book Club Review
Earlier this month I jumped at the chance to receive a book box from Mills & Boon. When I started reading romance I had seen ad olds for Harlequin and how they used to send out a collection so I have always been intrigued by this concept. The subscription has several different subgenres you can choose from, but I went for the Dare line. I have seen several of the titles but just haven’t had the chance to read any. Y’all know the reader struggle is very real. You can see my unboxing on my Continue Reading

Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe The Four Hundred #3 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Reviewed by Angela: The entire time I was reading this book I had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and dread. I've enjoyed this author previously, so when I saw this up for review I didn't even read the blurb, I just hit the request button. I wasn't prepared. You see the hero in A Notorious Vow is deaf, and I grew up in a partially deaf household. I know the stories of how my father was Continue Reading

Happy Monday! What I read this week: Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen The Devils of Dover #2 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Favorite Quote: "Save your shiny armor and white horse for something better than my sensibilities."

Kini’s Friday Kisses
I finished Faking It by Jennifer Crusie and it was everything I needed it to be. Fast paced dialogue, zany characters, an excellent cast of characters, and just enough poor babys. I love the bad sex, or rather I should call it uncompleted sex. Crusie does this often in her books and I am always here for it. There are a few things in the story that are a bit dated, but overall holds up well. Grade: AGoodreads l Amazon Several of the Smexy ladies have read Intercepted by Alexa Martin and Continue Reading

Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur (Clean Slate Ranch #3)Released: September 17, 2018M/M RomanceCarina Press Reviewed by Mandi Although there are some darker subject matters in this book, I still found it to be a very sweet, and feel good book. And with that being said, I also found it a little hard to get totally engaged - as everything was just too predictable...and well...a little too sweet. (Am I a jaded and bitter reader????) Miles is a sous chef with an obsessive, stalker ex-boyfriend. This Continue Reading
