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!
Grace Grayson Security, Book #1
Heat Factor: Pretty tame for open door sexytimes
Character Chemistry: Obviously living with the person you haven’t been able to talk to for years will result in everything resolving into a HEA because forced proximity
Plot: Pretty classic best friend’s sibling
Overall: There were some really good things and some things I wished hadn’t been there
Mercenary Librarians, Book #1
Heat Factor: They’re both modified humans, so they can only have super-strength sex with each other. And they do.
Character Chemistry: The fact that you could kill me without breaking a sweat is pretty hot, but I don’t trust you at all…….Dang it, I’m starting to genuinely like you.
Plot: (Dystopian futuristic landscape) Cross, double-cross, rescue (Loads of fighting)
Overall: Adventure boner for sure.
Isle of Synne, Book 1
Heat Factor: Blip on the radar
Character Chemistry: I am not buying what they’re selling
Plot: She’s for sale to the highest bidder for her father’s social advancement. He’s only interested in revenge.
Overall: It must be me, because people seem to really like this book, but I just cannot
Handymen, Book 1
Heat Factor: Steamy, but also very vulnerable and sweet
Character Chemistry: “Hello, I’m–SO INTO YOU”
Plot: Handyman/DIY Reality Star Michael almost immediately pegs his new featured couple as being half repulsive/shady and half his future wife. But while Emily leans on Michael to recover from the dumpster fire that was her ex, Michael ends up struggling with a secret trauma that threatens to torch his life and budding relationship.
Overall: This book was really, really awesome. I love a couple who knows how to take care of one another when they’re vulnerable!
Blackberry Bay, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s a little more heart-centered than…pants-centered
Character Chemistry: The chemistry and connection is obvious from the first page with these two
Plot: Meredith is a wealthy widowed mother who moves back home to Blackberry Bay with her young daughter to start over. Cam has been living in his newly discovered (and deceased) birth grandmother’s lake house and is uncovering his origins when he starts to enjoy being drawn closer to his neighbor and her daughter.
Overall: This book was a cover to cover hit. Real characters, great setting, magnetic chemistry, and perfect pace.
