Kini’s Friday Kisses
It’s Friday, aka my favorite day of the work week. I’m heading up to Philly later today to see Lauryn Hill in concert for the 20th anniversary of the MisEducation of Lauryn Hill. Please send all the positive thoughts you can that she isn’t too late. Thirsty by Mia Hopkins has been sitting in my Kindle for months. I finally picked it up. I had some hesitation due to the fact that we don’t see many Latinx heroes in romance and I didn’t know if this would be a harmful depiction of an ex-con gang Continue Reading

(I played a lot of Kan Jam and drank a lot of margaritas). I did read a bit of the Continue Reading
