Yeah, the cover made me read it. Don't judge me!



This is one of the best covers that I've had the pleasure to imagine touching in real life. The model and character remind me of Christiano Ronaldo, a hottie futballer from Portugal. Hubby watches a lot of futbol, so I have a lot of premier league crushes and thought I would give this book a go!

First, let me give you an example of one of my baseball conversations with my hubby:

C-mac: What's the score?
Me: Five to one, Reds.
C-mac: Inning?
Me: Bottom of the fifth, two outs
C-mac: Who's pitching?
Me: Arroyo.

I know that some of you fell asleep reading that. Others have no idea what any of that means. Now here is a convo about Futbol:

C-mac: What's the score?
Me: One all
C-mac: Who scored?
Me: I have no idea, I was too busy day dreaming about Joe Heart's abs. Who does David Beckham play for now?
C-mac: What? That guy's not that good anymore.
Me: Quite avoiding the question. Fine, whatever. When do they take off their shirts?
C-mac: Seriously?
Me: Yeah. 
C-mac: At the end of the game. About an hour from now.
Me: Oh. Take off YOUR shirt..................

Bow-chica-wowow.

I enjoyed this read. As usual the love scene's were top notch. Well done Ms. Brown! To read this book click the book or here. And if you like what you read please hit the follow button. Thanks!

Misses and some cursing..



I enjoy reading Ms. Brown's stories, they usually contain non-traditional AA heroine's falling in love with a-typical heroes. In the books i've reade their situations tend to be fantastical and challenge convention. In Kisses and Curses we meet jewelry designer Vivienne West who cashes in a small inheritence in NY to work a mining stake in Neveda. There she hires a minor to help her. Ezekiel  Proctor, is an ex-confederate soldier with a dark secret.
The romance moves fast with both character physically attracted to one another, but then it kind of falls apart for me. I found the 'love' scenes to be flat, their is an abundance of sex, but it's not well described enough for me to get hot and bothered.

Overall, it was just okay.
There were only a few errors:
Location 1968- "six dozen or so people industry people milled about
