Review: Secret Service by Tal Bauer (2022)

Erin

Heat Factor: I might go so far as to say lotsa sex, but it’s not lotsa super explicit sex, but also that first BJ will probably live rent free in my head for a while 

Character Chemistry: Love at first sight + so much angst

Plot: The president and his Secret Service detail lead are in love. Also the president has disappeared. Without his detail lead (in case that wasn’t obvious).

Overall: It’s present-past (roughly) alternating non-linear, so I was thrown for a minute…until I was totally sucked in

Review: Release by Suzanne Clay (2022)

Jade Harbour Capital, Book #2

Heat Factor: Gentle and affirming

Character Chemistry: The buildup was great, but maybe there was a little too much of a jump into the recognition and acknowledgement of feelings

Plot: Elvin is Ray’s long-time EA at a financial investment company, Ray is tasked with auditing an asset, everything personal goes well while everything else goes sideways

Overall: Decisions were made here. They’re good decisions, but are they romantic decisions?

March Smashness: Football Week

Scoring off the Field by Naima Simone (2018)

Heat Factor: Sex. But we have feelings about it.

Character Chemistry: Is it love or is it codependence?

Plot: Angst, horniness, confrontation, angst

Overall: Readers of this need to love a mess as much as Marie Kondo.

On the Line by Liz Lincoln (2018)

Heat Factor: These kids are very horny.

Character Chemistry: Organic (good thing she’s a science teacher!)

Plot: Carrie is Seth’s nanny so they absolutely can’t act on their attraction. (Again.) (Oops, but okay for real this time.)

Overall: Cute and engaging but you have to like nanny books.
