Review: Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix
Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine.

This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
Some NSFW Halloween Lovin' :) Bancroft starts fiddling with my wings as if he’s trying to fold them out of his way. “How do these come off?” “They’re attached with snaps.” “Well, they need to go. They’re obstructing my ability to rub my huge, hard cock against your ass,” he complains. I laugh and turn in his arms. “Wow. You do such a great job embellishing phrases such as ‘above average.’” “I was just helping with your descriptive word choices, ‘above average’ sounds Continue Reading

I enjoyed it. Book two is already out. 8. Did you hear that The Continue Reading

Choose love. Always choose love. If the decision is between love and anything else, choose love." I haven't read Gail Carriger in so long - fail on my part!
