Feminine Pursuits, Book 2
Review of Feminine Pursuits, Book 1
Heat Factor: Slow, steady, burn.
Character Chemistry: So much pining! But also, believable BFFs. And they do that thing where they call each other by last name and I swoon every time.
Plot: A year in the life of Flood and Griffin.
Overall: The plot meanders but sometimes a book (even a romance) is more than a tight plot. I recommend reading this one.
Isle of Synne, Book 1
Heat Factor: Blip on the radar
Character Chemistry: I am not buying what they’re selling
Plot: She’s for sale to the highest bidder for her father’s social advancement. He’s only interested in revenge.
Overall: It must be me, because people seem to really like this book, but I just cannot
Touched by a Demon, Book 2
Review of Touched by a Demon, Book 1
Heat Factor: What can I say? It gets hot in hell.
Character Chemistry: Very sweet
Plot: Satan’s master plan is sadly convoluted
Overall: Great world building, but I want a demon who needs redemption!
NOLA Knights, Book #2
Heat Factor: There’s a lot of sex, but it’s nothing outlandish
Character Chemistry: Pretty fun
Plot: How can a squeaky clean reporter be in a relationship with a Russian mobster? Also: shenanigans
Overall: Delightful
Devils of Dover, Book 2
Heat Factor: The sex scenes are excellent and well-integrated
Character Chemistry: They are both soooooo morally upright, so I guess they are perfect for each other
Plot: Earl presumed dead returns, runs into former friend’s former fiancée, woos her for himself
Overall: Not my favorite of Bowen’s oeuvre
