Dungeons and Dating, Book #2
Review of Dungeons and Dating, Book #1
Heat Factor: They’re super horny. But more importantly, this book prompted me to Google men’s lace panties, so now I’ve seen that
Character Chemistry: I was very convinced that Cal and Jules were totally into each other
Plot: Why have one obstacle to the relationship when we can have one obstacle every other chapter?
Overall: This book was charming, and the aforementioned obstacles reasonably kept the tension up throughout the book.
Region Two, Book #2
Heat Factor: There’s some sex at the beginning, and then a really long dry spell
Character Chemistry: Their relationship is going through a lot, so their chemistry comes and goes
Plot: Uh. Let’s destroy the HEA from Book 1.
Overall: The first half of this book went some seriously unexpected places, which made for a very unusual romance reading experience.

Heat Factor: She climbs him like a tree, so that’s fun…but I would have liked a little more communication beforehand
Character Chemistry: They were so not on the same page but also so into each other
Plot: So many drama shenanigans
