I finished two ARCs for upcoming releases, DNF one older book from my TBR, and I am 70% on another book. Snowy weekends allow lots of reading time. Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen- This is part of her Brooklyn Bruisers hockey series, which I have mostly enjoyed. This was a miss for me. Not enough that I DNF it, but I can’t say I truly enjoyed it. I did like seeing, even minimally, some of the characters from previous books. Heidi, the heroine, is kind of a Mary Sue. She is a Continue Reading
Exclusive Excerpt: Rough Terrain by Annabeth Albert
Thank you so much for having me. I had so much fun writing ROUGH TERRAIN. One of my favorite things to write are kisses, but sometimes the moments when characters don’t kiss but really, really want to are even more powerful than an actual kiss. And they make the eventual kiss that much more explosive. Here’s one such moment: *** Renzo’s tongue felt too thick for his mouth. Damn but Canaan was sexy, miles of creamy, pale skin on a lean, compact body. He’d expected some tats or nipple Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
The first part of the year hasn’t been great for reading for me. Just a lot of things going on. Nothing Personal by Karina Halle- I really enjoyed some of Halle’s earlier books, but either my reading preferences have changed a lot or she has changed her writing style. This book felt like a bit of a mess to me. I think it was supposed to be funny but I didn’t really find humor in it. The beginning was a bit heavy on calling women skanks (Nova’s ex cheated on her in Vegas with a Continue Reading
