Let's talk dirty books
Happily Inc, Book 4
Heat Factor: One very detailed sex scene at about 30%. Everything else is closed door.
Character Chemistry: It’s fine.
Plot: Stuff happens, but I wouldn’t say there’s an overarching narrative arc.
Overall: Sweet but not all that impactful.
The Untouchables, Book 12 of 12
Heat Factor: So very steamy.
Character Chemistry: It’ll getcha.
Plot: Lady enlists her brother’s best gentleman friend to help her find a husband she’ll love (and who will support her budding millinery business)–Gentleman swears he’ll never marry. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.
Overall: Really expected this one to fall into the same predictable trope, but it was surprisingly fresh.
Heat Factor: Men who like strong women = sexy.
Character Chemistry: Instantaneous, but with near-constant fails. It’s sublime.
Plot: Absolutely badass female zero-gravity pilot and business owner meets a gigantic professional hockey player. Competition commences. Plot twist: she beats him at EVERYTHING and it never occurs to him that his masculinity could be threatened by that
Overall: It’s refreshing, it’s hilarious, it’s riveting, and it’s going to make you think about gender roles (but in a genuinely subtle, sexy way)
Heat Factor: Sexy but not explicit
Character Chemistry: Too much baggage
Plot Development: Quiet
Overall: Soothing, but not that interesting
