The Bishop Brothers, Book #2
Review of The Bishop Brothers, Book #1
Heat Factor: Considering how much they’re into each other, it’s a pretty slow burn (but with some intermediate stuff going on)
Character Chemistry: I was a little worried because Serena started out determined to show Archer how much she’s worth marrying, but they sorted themselves out
Plot: Serena was supposed to marry Archer’s brother in book one but ended up jilted at the altar, so Archer stepped in to save the day and the business deal
Overall: This book was very chill (except I wanted to rage at Archer’s dad), but also very awesome
Shifter Bites, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s closed door (this whole new series is meant to be no sex/closed door)
Character Chemistry: Their shifter personalities flow into their interactions SO WELL
Plot: Hester is getting over a cheating ex when she ends up snowbound with her fated mate
Overall: Adorbs!
BeWere My Heart, Book 2
Review of BeWere My Heart, Book 1
Heat Factor: Barely there (though there is some closed door hanky panky just before the end)
Character Chemistry: “I’m weirdly driven to procreate with you” + antagonism in the mode of grumpy/sunshine
Plot: Non-shifter accidentally rescues child werebear and gets roped into all the were-CPS crime-solving shenanigans
Overall: If you like your books with a healthy dose of absurdity, this checks the box
Heat Factor: It’s sweeping and romantic
Character Chemistry: So perfect
Plot: He first saw her as a teen, on a day that changed his life forever. Sixteen years later, he meets her again – only to discover that they’re now on opposite sides of an emotional divide.
Overall: Automatic favorite. I am wrecked.
