Heroine – women loving women (also tag LGBTQ)
Heat Factor: Sex, then denying it has any meaning.
Character Chemistry: They have alllllll the feelings.
Plot: Amy keeps making decisions for everyone else.
Overall: Look, this is a sexy, bi-awakening, f-f chef story. How could I not love it?
Heat Factor: They’re mostly too busy fighting demons (no danger banging here!)
Character Chemistry: Their magic blends perfectly
Plot: Lesbian demon hunters in the wild west, except we start the story in the middle and one has amnesia
Overall: I liked it, mainly because the setup is very very cool
Lake Lovelace, Book #3
Heat Factor: There are hot sexytimes, but most of it is centered in Tina’s emotional development
Character Chemistry: Instant attraction with roller derby-related complications
Plot: Tina doesn’t feel like she’s adulting very well after her divorce, so she’s trying to take care of herself by herself while also finding a community of women to be with in roller derby
Overall: Totally a feels book
Out on the Ice, Book #2
Heat Factor: At the point I stopped reading, Maisey was thinking a lot about how women have sex, but my understanding is that it’s a slow burn (so I’m guessing at least one scene toward the end)
Character Chemistry: There were plenty of cute moments
Plot: I think this is what people are referring to when they say they want “no plot just vibes”
Overall: Once they stopped being enemies at the 25% mark, all tension driving me to read was lost, so this one’s a DNF
Heat Factor: kissy → grinding interruptus → date night on a blanket next to the lake
Character Chemistry: understated fated mated
Plot: Woman on the run from abusive ex falls in with a pack of rogue werewolf bikers
Overall: it’s enjoyable
