Other – 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!
Hush Note, Book #1
Heat Factor: They have very gentle loving sex because of Kira’s past
Character Chemistry: I got sucked in by all their drama, so I guess it worked
Plot: “OMG I am SO happy to see you again!” → “WTF I have a CHILD?!” → “Let’s be together forever, I promise that me being a rock star who tours for months every year will not be a problem.”
Overall: I was expecting to get bent out of shape about the secret baby drama, but I got some bonus annoyance as well.
Heat Factor: Sort of perfunctory
Character Chemistry: They are brought together by a series of epic misunderstandings.
Plot: Mandy is abducted by nefarious aliens who sold her to himbos with tentacles who don’t realize that humans are sentient. Mandy feels like a pomeranian until the translation implant is installed.
Overall: The plot is not really well-developed, and we had some feelings about the breeder kink, but the writing is so fun that we kind of didn’t care.
Heat Factor: I can totally envision an octopus twirling its tentacle to make it fit in a, ah, space, and why is that so hot?
Character Chemistry: Him: “I want to woo her, let’s have convenience sex.” Her: “I am having an existential meltdown.”
Plot: She’s having business troubles. He’s on a treasure hunt. They’re having a lot of sex.
Overall: Fun and (depending on how much you like tentacles) sexy, but nothing particularly unexpected or surprising.
Fix-It Witches, Book #1
Heat Factor: She climbs him like a tree, so that’s fun…but I would have liked a little more communication beforehand
Character Chemistry: They were so not on the same page but also so into each other
Plot: So many drama shenanigans
Overall: Oof
Galactic Love, Book #1
Heat Factor: There is sex, but not the way we usually imagine it.
Character Chemistry: Zylar is the kindest, gentlest, giant cockroach alien ever. He calls Beryl “Terrible One” and it’s adorable.
Plot: Zylar kidnaps Beryl, kind of by accident. And then they compete in a dystopian mating competition.
Overall: This book is WEIRD AF and I am so glad I read it.
The Spies Who Loved Her, Book 1
Heat Factor: Everyone is very horny.
Character Chemistry: Horny, yes. Is it love? Eh.
Plot: 50% being horny, 50% spy stuff.
Overall: Are you looking for some horny spies? Then have I got the book for you!
