Ten Tiny Breaths, Book 3
Heat Factor: Sex is frequent but not super detailed; we get only the cursory information of what bits are naked and in contact.
Character Chemistry: Girl with daddy issues + older man with white knight syndrome
Plot: Charlie needs money to disappear so she gets a job as a stripper and starts a thing with her boss. Also she’s reluctantly running heroin.
Overall: The purity overtones were unreal.
Irish Dragon Shifter Brothers, Book #4
Review of Irish Dragon Shifter Brothers, Book #1
Heat Factor: Well, they have a lot of sex, and it’s very descriptive…
Character Chemistry: They had a one night stand five years ago and even though he has fully embraced his “bachelor lifestyle” (ahem), she is the one who has always stuck in his memory
Plot: Dragon shifter has super baby dragon finder powers, discovers his secret baby, becomes fully invested in his new family (even when the baby’s mom runs away to Cuba), and also there are evil witches
Overall: What even is this series? This book was exactly what I expected it to be – totally bonkers
Lake Lovelace, Book #3
Heat Factor: There are hot sexytimes, but most of it is centered in Tina’s emotional development
Character Chemistry: Instant attraction with roller derby-related complications
Plot: Tina doesn’t feel like she’s adulting very well after her divorce, so she’s trying to take care of herself by herself while also finding a community of women to be with in roller derby
Overall: Totally a feels book
Heat Factor: I mean, it is technically explicit sex, but it’s done in a vignette style until nearly the end, when it feels much more traditionally written
Character Chemistry: I had big feels, but it was because of Zach’s journey, not because of Zach and Eugenio together
Plot: Baseball players fall in love, but one refuses to come out and things fall apart. Until they get a second chance.
Overall: Y’all. I have just been on a whole emotional roller coaster.
Little Bridge Island, Book #2
Heat Factor: I expected closed door, but it wasn’t. Nor was it especially steamy.
Character Chemistry: Erm…
Plot: Righteous children’s librarian with a passion for true crime and awkward sheriff are thrown together because 1. Abandoned baby in library and 2. Small town
Overall: I was disappointed on a few levels
