Let's talk dirty books
Heat Factor: Can’t move to the bedroom, gotta have sex on the table right now
Character Chemistry: She said so, and I guess they did have some up-against-the-wall, can’t-resist-my-passion sex
Plot: Squeaky clean pro quarterback arrested for drug possession has hots for prosecutor
Overall: Just no
The Gamer Girls, Book #1
Heat Factor: Totally closed door (but she has 17 orgasms…)
Character Chemistry: She’s absolutely terrible to him and he keeps coming back
Plot: Gamer romance at a gamer tournament
Overall: The heroine was obnoxious, but it was still a good read
Heat Factor: There is a lot of sex. It’s explicit until it isn’t.
Character Chemistry: Potty-mouth extrovert plus reserved introvert is obviously good chemistry
Plot: Just YES
Overall: This book hit the spot
The Ravenels, Book 1
Review of The Ravenels, Book 2
Heat Factor: She’s a widow, so they can have all the sex all over the house
Character Chemistry: Kathleen is the worst and the rake thing is bunk
Plot: Two adults with immense self-imposed baggage and an overdeveloped sense of responsibility find love
Overall: Who cares about Devon and Kathleen? I double down on my Winterborne sentiments. Helen and Rhys are adorable together.
Heat Factor: Medium-low
Character Chemistry: That thing where they argue and it’s true love
Plot: Accidental kidnapping leads to much bloodshed, but probably the bloodshed was going to happen anyways
Overall: Decidedly uneven
