Trope – Forbidden relationship stems from a boss/employee relationship
A Season for Scandal, Book #3
Review of A Season for Scandal, Book #2
Heat Factor: Steam city!
Character Chemistry: For the first time, her skills are appreciated.
Plot: Angelique is desperate for money, so she’s been counting cards at the vingt-et-un table at Alexander’s gaming club. (NEVER DO THIS.) When she gets caught, Alexander offers her a job. And then her brother is arrested for murder.
Overall: This is the most romantic suspense-y of Bowen’s books I’ve read, but it works pretty well
Nordic Royals, Book #3
Heat Factor: They like to get into that boss/nanny kink dynamic in the bedroom
Character Chemistry: With the tension of the forbidden in the mix, the chemistry was great
Plot: Nanny with secrets “Mary Poppinses” Danish King’s family, but he has secrets of his own…
Overall: Totally hit the spot
Lively St. Lemeston, Book 4
Heat Factor: There are 9 chapters and they have sex 7 times
Character Chemistry: They are both making sacrifices for the other, “Gift of the Magi” style.
Plot: Betsy decides to seduce her boss, because it’s time for something to happen.
Overall: This was exactly the book I needed in the moment I read it. It’s short, sexy, fun, and thoughtful.
Dragon Dads Love Chronicles, Book #4
Heat Factor: I feel like it’s supposed to be hot but…it’s not
Character Chemistry: is secondary to everything else going on
Plot: Sam, a shifter, feels like he’s a bad dad, so he’s initiated a custody review so his shifter hunter ex-wife can have custody of his dragon twin daughters. (Yep. That’s right.) Meanwhile, nanny AnnaLee can’t have children.
Overall: This book makes me want to smash the patriarchy (not in a good way)
Fake It Till You Make It, Book #1
Heat Factor: Sure, I guess
Character Chemistry: Emotional chemistry? I’m not even convinced they had sexual chemistry.
Plot: Woman goes home for vacation, boss follows, and nobody talks to anybody about anything important so everything hits the fan
Overall: I finished this to satisfy my rage and for no other reason
