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

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Another good week of reads and kisses! Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid. This was my favorite by Reid in the Winston Brothers series. I really enjoyed the pairing of Simone and Roscoe. The book had a bit of a suspenseful element but it didn't take over the story. This is a second chance at love story and y'all may know that's one of my favorites. Roscoe's love for Simone is sweet and tortured. Simone's journey to discovering Roscoe is her person was excellent. I love Reid's voice, but some Continue Reading
