Hard Play, Book #4
Reviews of Hard Play, Book #1, Book #2, Book #3
Heat Factor: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Is there anything like a conflagration of lust? There is not.
Character Chemistry: Perfection
Plot: Danny and Catie have enjoyed being each other’s nemeses since they were children, but when the media speculates they’ve hooked up, they decide to fake a relationship for a few months for the sake of their careers
Overall: Catnip. Pure, unadulterated catnip.
Heat Factor: There’s a lot of sex. It’s graphic. And most of it isn’t between the protagonists.
Character Chemistry: So, the book isn’t actually focused on Mack and Jason’s relationship as such
Plot: Sociopath vampires wreak havoc on a ranch in colonial Australia. And then it’s the 90s.
Overall: WUT
Heat Factor: kissy kissy
Character Chemistry: I only wish people found my verbal diarrhea as adorable as Hennessy finds Jordan’s
Plot: I’m not sure there is one? Jordan is figuring himself out.
Overall: really fun read with very little angst or tension
Sydney Smoke Rugby, Book #7
Heat Factor: kinda like: the first time they do something it’s explicit but then subsequent times we can bypass that detail
Character Chemistry: “This person is extra special” at first sight
Plot: closeted gay rugby player finally meets a man who makes him want what he never needed before
Overall: I don’t know. On the one hand it’s super readable. On the other… 🙃
Hard Play, Book #2
Review of Hard Play, Book #1, Book #3
Heat Factor: OMG! They’re both virgins!!! Love it!
Character Chemistry: If my LI frowned and told me that something I described as romantic wasn’t romantic, it was simply a spouse listening to a spouse’s needs and taking care of them, I would be like, “Let’s just schedule that wedding right now, then, so you can start taking care of me.”
Plot: Nayna is really going through a quarter-life crisis. Raj is hoping he can hang on for the ride.
Overall: The (everyday) romance of this book is AMAZING
