Heroine
Moose Springs, Alaska, Book #2
Review of Moose Springs Alaska, Book #1
Heat Factor: It was extremely ambiguous until they finally did go all the way because they were constantly fooling around but then the door closed
Character Chemistry: 🌲🌲🌲 (that’s pining, FYI)
Plot: Lana wants to save Moose Springs but ultimately answers to her family’s conglomerate. Rick is a local business owner trying to make ends meet with an uncomfortable crush on his new landlord.
Overall: aww
Cider Bar Sisters, Book #3
Reviews of Cider Bar Sisters, Book #1, Book #2, and Bonus Novella #2.5
Heat Factor: So many toys! So much being filled! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Character Chemistry: David is a stern brunch daddy (OMG!!!!)
Plot: She’s figuring out that maybe she’s growing out of the last phase of her life, he’s pining real hard for a seemingly unattainable future, they’re neighbors with benefits
Overall: I finished this book and then texted Ingrid and Holly: “I love Jackie Lau”
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
Heat Factor: This game of “truth or dare” got p-r-e-t-t-y daring
Character Chemistry: More told than shown, at least until they start with the sexytimes
Plot: Longtime friends meet up at wedding and play a game of “truth or dare” that changes everything
Overall: There’s a lot of expository text, but the games they played were enough to keep me turning pages
Holidays with the Wongs, Book 1
Heat Factor: It starts with a pretty hot one-night stand, but it’s also not heavily detailed
Character Chemistry: “I really kind of wish I hadn’t let that one-night stand just be a one-night stand.”
Plot: Two adults have one-night stand. Oops! Same two adults are set up on dates with different people at a family Thanksgiving dinner.Â
Overall: Totally warm fuzzy cute fun
