Smexy’s Top Ten – July 27
10. I don't know if I blame this on being 40, or just being a big dummy but... on Wednesday, I dropped my son off at his 30 min piano lesson, and I ran to the grocery store to grab a few things. I then promptly drove home, and unloaded the groceries and kept thinking - hmmm something feels weird. Yes, I forgot my son was still at piano (I had his cell phone in my purse) so that was super awesome. And then yesterday, I drove him to his 90 min rugby practice. I came home and started dinner, and Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
It's been a much better reading week for me this week. And lots more kisses were read. I started One Wedding Two Brides by Heidi Betts, it had a cute blurb and I'm a sucker for a fake marriage. It quickly fell apart for me when the heroine was super drunk but the hero still thought it was okay to get married to her. The heroine also referred to another woman as a bitch and floozy. Hard pass. DNF A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole. I really did not care for this heroine when she was Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Trials
Fellow book lovers, I’m sorry to report that I have nothing new to review today. Last week, my sister was in Las Vegas for a work related seminar. Since she lives on Maui and doesn’t come to the ‘mainland’ very often so I decided to take a few days off and meet up with her. Dreams of lazy days by the pool with an umbrella topped alcoholic beverage and reading for hours and hours while my poor sister was stuck in her seminar was all I could think about. Add to that the fact that she was booked Continue Reading

Mandi’s Monday Musings
Imperial Stout by Layla Reyne (Trouble Brewing #1) Released: July 23, 2018 M/M Suspense Carina Press This is a spin-off series from Reyne's Whiskey series and I saw some reviews that said it's probably best if you read the Whiskey series before reading this. I did not and I was confused at the beginning of the book. There are a lot of characters besides our two leading men, and it was hard to keep track of names and who was bad or good or a double agent etc.. I did settle in after a while Continue Reading
