Review: Darke Passion by Rosanna Leo (2023)

Darke Paranormal Investigations, Book #1

Heat Factor: There’s some spice

Character Chemistry: They are very communicative about liking each other

Plot: Edwina is hunting for ghosts in Simon’s haunted B&B and finds more than she bargained for

Review: Liar City by Allie Therin (2023)

Sugar & Vice, Book #1

Heat Factor: Yeah, so, we barely even know they like each other at the end of this one

Character Chemistry: I don’t know how Therin managed it, but I wanted them to touch SO BADLY even though 1) it’s dangerous and 2) they mostly snip at each other

Plot: Empaths are a persecuted group, feared for their abilities even though they have to be pacifists (and vegans) by virtue of their extreme empathy, except that there’s a triple homicide that looks suspiciously like Reece’s nightmares, and the man rumored to keep empaths in check suddenly arrives in town.

Overall: It is not actually a romance (yet), but it is SO FREAKING GOOD

Review: A Valentine for Christmas by Reese Ryan (2022)

Valentine Vineyards, Book #1

Heat Factor: Fade to gray? There’s some sex but we see more afterglow than details

Character Chemistry: Outstanding

Plot: Chandra and Julian are new to a small town, and they keep meeting—but Chandra insists they can’t have a relationship

Overall: It felt like a filler book

Character Chemistry: Attraction plus kindness is always a winning combination

Plot: Harper and Owen got Vegas married five years ago, and haven’t seen each other since. Now, Harper wants an annulment.

Overall: I really liked this book

Review: Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison (2021)

Lovelight, Book #1

Heat Factor: It’s not not sexy, but the vibe was definitely in keeping with the cover art

Character Chemistry: Stella and Luca have been in love for NINE YEARS but refuse to a) admit it and b) do anything about it

Plot: Thirty-year-old woman is incompetent at both entrepreneurship and love, figures out how to do both during the course of this book

Overall: I was not a great audience for this book, but there are many people who will totally love it
