Donut Fall in Love #2

Review of Donut Fall in Love, #1

Heat Factor: It’s a slow burn–much intense emotional heat with satisfying results

Character Chemistry: It killed me, dead. I am not okay now, thanks Jackie Lau.

Plot: Mel the stand-up comedian and Vivian the financial analyst/secret artist meet and can’t stand each other only to find themselves as attendants in their friends’ wedding. Mel is the entire rainbow and Vivan is gray. And I love them.

Overall: This book made me swoon so hard, so many times that I actually NEED a fainting couch now.

Character Chemistry: Very natural and low key

Plot: Cinderella but with an Oscar-winning actor as the prince and a terrible employer as the steps

Overall: It wasn’t really a page turner, but it was very cozy

The Handymen, Book #3

Reviews of previous books in The Handymen series: Book #1, Book #2

Heat Factor: It was…delicious.

Character Chemistry: They were soooooo good together in just so many ways which is just how this series is from start to stop.

Plot: Nick takes on the last project for the Handymen TV series after being the subject of a pretty demeaning cyberbullying campaign. The property is owned by Claire, a widow who is in desperate need of a fresh start—and sparks fly almost instantaneously. 

Overall: UGHHH this is such a phenomenal end to the Handymen Series and I loved it so much.
