Hero – explicitly engages or has engaged in illegal activity (other than hacktivist)
The Family, Book #2
Heat Factor: I think sex on a public train car might be a first…
Character Chemistry: “I can trust a man who wants to protect me so he can fuck me. Your motives are clear.”
Plot: It looks like a mafia book, but it’s actually more like a road trip/heist book
Overall: This book is so unbelievably fun.
Heat Factor: When it’s hot it’s hot
Character Chemistry: They’re both immediately physically attracted, but it takes a while for everything else to sort itself out
Plot: Sulky, directionless new adult ends up figuring out his direction while apprenticing with his dad’s best friend
Overall: If I’m honest, I was only looking for something to study daddy kink romance, so my expectations were not high, but I really enjoyed this book
NOLA Knights, Book 3
Review of NOLA Knights, Book 2
Heat Factor: It’s not not descriptive (he really likes to go down), but I wasn’t bowled over by heat or quantity
Character Chemistry: He paid attention to what I like and wants to take care of me when no one else did, so I guess it won’t take me too long to get over his outrageously domineering behavior…
Plot: Bonnie’s family disappears, so she calls the only friend she’s got, knowing her friend’s husband will get involved. Bonnie doesn’t realize that by activating the NOLA Bratva, she’s just gotten herself claimed by a mountain of a man.
Overall: I was certainly entertained, but not blown away
Eastside Brewery, Book #2
Heat Factor: It’s hot friends. SUPER hot.
Character Chemistry: Very much based on sexual chemistry
Plot: Eddie’s bad decisions impact his life all over the place, but he’s having some difficulty extracting himself from them
Overall: I enjoyed this much more for Eddie’s growth arc than for the romance
Chances Limited, Book 2
Heat Factor: Lots of foreplay, minimal penetration. Still steamy.
Character Chemistry: Elizabeth and Sidney treat each other really well and it’s very sweet.
Plot: For a book called “Trouble and Strife”, this novella was remarkably low-key. There was very little tension or conflict or drama.
Overall: I inhaled this book and wished it were longer.
