Fast & Fury, Book 1
Heat Factor: It kind of felt closed door, but it’s not, it was just that I was that detached while reading
Character Chemistry: 180 degrees wouldn’t adequately describe the instant shift these protagonists have in their attitudes to each other
Plot: I don’t even know what to tell you. There’s more than one murder of characters we meet, and I was wondering why the epilogue was 1. Not called the epilogue and was 2. Four chapters long
Overall: SMH
Ace Security, Book #1
Heat Factor: It gets a little explicit
Character Chemistry: I hate them both
Plot: Rescue man saves demoralized, abused woman
Overall: I struggled so hard. But my eyeballs probably got their best ever workout with this book.
Rosewood Realm, Book 1
Heat Factor: Kinky blood stuff, plus both protagonists bone secondary characters. Plus incest.
Character Chemistry: A rebound situation if there ever was one.
Plot: Captain Hook is a vampire who is obsessed with Tinksley Bell. Tink is in love with Peter Pan. When Peter leaves and Tink is depressed, Hook helps her recover and also embrace her inner darkness.
Overall: I don’t even know what to tell you.
Argeneau Series, Book #30
Heat Factor: Excepting that they have to stay joined for a half hour, it’s not super sexy
Character Chemistry: A little bit of fated mates, so we’re so-so here
Plot: Immortal flies in to meet his maybe life mate, is embroiled in all her problems with other rogue immortals
Overall: I was so delighted by the Argeneaux that I am gutted that this book relies on a homophobic characterization
Gallaghers of Ardmore, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s very poetical.
Character Chemistry: Some of their interactions made me uncomfortable.
Plot: Woman goes to Ireland to Find Herself. Succeeds, and finds love as well. Plus she meets the King of the Fairies.
Overall: A disconcerting reading experience: even though it’s a contemporary, it reads like a historical.
