Review: Kiro's Emily - Book #9.5 Rosemary Beach Series - Abbi Glines - December 2014 It has been years since I have read an Abbi Glines book but being in pain after a tooth extraction, I needed something to read and I thought why not read Kiro's Emily as it was a novella, so a quickie read as well.  As we recall Kiro Manning was part of the band Slacker Demon along with Dean Finlay, he never believed in soulmates or that he was worthy of love until he met Emily. Emily was at one of his concerts with her cousin Sonya when they managed to score a backstage pass to the groupie lounge with the bandmates. Sonya's goal was to sleep with the band members; however, she got her wish but it was innocent Emily who captured their attention and eventually Kiro's eye and heart. Their love was a whirlwind of deep emotions and Emily made Kiro a better guy, without her he wouldn't have had a relationship with his son Mase who stars in his book When I'm Gone. Kiro also wouldn...

Review: The Wedding Date - Book #1 The Wedding Date Series - Jasmine Guillory - January 2018 This book has been sitting on my pile to read for a while now and after reading The Cake King which was a sweet romance, I was in the mood for a bit more light-hearted reads to break up my mystery and romantic suspense novels.

Alexa who is oddly attracted to Drew thinks why the hell not and the pair end up as dates to a wedding. ...

Review: Two Wedding Crashers - Book #2 Dating by the Number Series - Meghan Quinn - March 2018 It's been a while since I read a Meghan Quinn novel and I was very excited as of course, I knew I would be laughing in parts with her books. This became a big favorite of mine from the Wedding Crashing premise to the fact that Rylee and her friends Victoria and Zoey were authors. Each was a different type of author too from Victoria with her love of historical, Zoey with her children's books and Rylee with her sexy romances. The other thing was reading this book was quite timely as I am at a Romance Writers writing retreat where we all have different subgenres of romance that we write.   I also fell in love with the character of Beck. The character of Rylee, I was in two minds about as I found her a tad too indecisive for me. I loved the surrogacy /adoption part in the book as I knew that Meghan had adopted her baby, so that made me feel more connected throu...
