Like to read books in order? Hate randomly discovering the book you got is actually the second in a series? These books are for you!
Paranormal Hunters, Book 1
Heat Factor: They have extremely bad sex and are both absolutely mortified. This scene is excellent. (There is also a bit of good sex at the end.)
Character Chemistry: They’re both misanthropes who like reading. I buy it.
Plot: Selene’s family is cursed. And she’s a witch. Aiden is a paranormal investigator who definitely does not believe in magic and wants to do a show about her grandma.
Overall: Mostly fun
Cider Bar Sisters, Book 1
Heat Factor: Yup, there is some boning.
Character Chemistry: “Why is she trying to be my friend? She is so perky!”
Plot: Amy moves to the Big City, enthusiastically embraces Big City Life…and her new neighbor.
Overall: This is some A+ grumpy/sunshine action and it’s just what I needed.
Wallflowers vs Rogues, Book 1
Heat Factor: The hanky panky scenes are steamy but
Character Chemistry: The romance feels a tad forced and the couple seems kind of ill-fitting so
Plot: When bibliophile Lady Beatrice Bentley inherits a small property, she grudgingly hires the carpenter who lives and works on her brother’s property to complete the work as she struggles to retain it. They don’t seem to have much in common and they certainly don’t live in the same social spheres, but they’re drawn to one another nonetheless.
Overall: It was a lovely read but I did struggle to see how the couple fit together and the “teasing” was a little clumsy
Single Dads, Book #1
Heat Factor: Warm fuzzies
Character Chemistry: soothingly domestic
Plot: Gay single dad unexpectedly finds love
Overall: Low-stakes drama, sweet romance
Gallaghers of Ardmore, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s very poetical.
Character Chemistry: Some of their interactions made me uncomfortable.
Plot: Woman goes to Ireland to Find Herself. Succeeds, and finds love as well. Plus she meets the King of the Fairies.
Overall: A disconcerting reading experience: even though it’s a contemporary, it reads like a historical.
