Review: Enemies with Benefits by Zara Cox (2021)

The Mortimers: Wealthy and Wicked, Book #5

Heat Factor: There’s some finger-banging in Chapter 1.

Character Chemistry: More benefits than enmity.

Plot: Something about their family companies signed a contract and Wren is trying to get out of it via half-hearted malicious non-compliance. Jasper wants to bone Wren and also work with her but also not renegotiate the contract so her company doesn’t get screwed. Maybe?

Loveless Brothers, Book #1

Review of Loveless Brothers, Book #3

Heat Factor: If this book is on fire, why’s it so wet

Character Chemistry: Listen, there’s a razor thin line between knowing exactly how to torment someone and knowing how to…torment them…and this book walks it perfectly.

Plot: Violet is abandoned at a restaurant on a terrible date only to discover the head chef is her childhood arch nemesis, Eli. Eli has traveled the world and recently moved home to accept a new job…where Violet works. They’re both on the line for a competitive $20k bonus, so needless to say, things get interesting.

Overall: This is a review revisited confirming—and elaborating on—everything Holly said in her glowing review.

Review: Will & Patrick Wake Up Married by Leta Blake and Alice Griffiths (2015-2016)

Heat Factor: After a very sexy night in Vegas, it takes a couple episodes before they get busy again, but when they do, it gets kinky

Character Chemistry: I’m a sucker for “the grumpy jerk is secretly soft for the vulnerable sweetheart”

Plot: Will and Patrick wake up married, and they can’t just be unmarried because Will’s charitable trust is financed by his mob family who requires that the scions marry for love and forever

Overall: It’s a long ‘un, but I didn’t want to stop reading.

Character Chemistry: Eh
