Review: Imperfect Stranger by Carrole Lerner (1985)

Heat Factor: Sorry, not sorry: sex outside marriage will disappoint both Bree and God

Character Chemistry: Simply, no

Plot: Bree promised herself that she would never be with an unbeliever again, so it’s a real problem that her current assignment is, like, the love of her life. (We know this because she falls out of love with the old guy and into love with the new guy in 24 hours.)

Overall: So. Much. Jesus. And OMG the end. I can’t.

Character Chemistry: Girl with daddy issues + older man with white knight syndrome

Plot: Charlie needs money to disappear so she gets a job as a stripper and starts a thing with her boss. Also she’s reluctantly running heroin.

Overall: The purity overtones were unreal.

Review: The Temptress Touch by Lori Herter (1985)

Heat Factor: Nipple play and multiple orgasms

Plot: Marla seduces Jack

Overall: If the premise works for you, then it’s well-executed, but the premise super mega did not work for me

Review: Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison (2021)

Lovelight, Book #1

Heat Factor: It’s not not sexy, but the vibe was definitely in keeping with the cover art

Character Chemistry: Stella and Luca have been in love for NINE YEARS but refuse to a) admit it and b) do anything about it

Plot: Thirty-year-old woman is incompetent at both entrepreneurship and love, figures out how to do both during the course of this book

Overall: I was not a great audience for this book, but there are many people who will totally love it
