Location
Survival Instincts, #1
Heat Factor: There’s only one sleeping bag!
But most of the heat comes from kisses because it’s too cold to actually remove clothing. (Don’t worry! There’s still danger banging!)
Character Chemistry: It’s amazing what stripping away everything but survival will do for a couple.
Plot: Trek across Antarctica in the winter while being chased by scary bad guys.
Overall: Starts with a bang, ends with…less of a bang.
The Harwood Spellbook, Book 1
Heat Factor: She thoroughly compromises him, but there’s nothing explicit
Character Chemistry: They complement each other – if only they weren’t so pig-headed about communicating!
Plot: Disgraced magic-user has to save the world from terrible snowstorm and evil fairy
Overall: Excellent worldbuilding, fun fantasy, middling romance
Ice Planet Barbarians, Book 1
Heat Factor: Let’s melt this ice!
Character Chemistry: We will be together because my parasite wills it! Slash, for a fated mates story, they have a super-cute we-are-confused-by-each-other dynamic.
Plot: Human woman abducted by evil aliens, dumped on a frozen planet, meets a sexy blue alien who definitely wants to bone her.
Overall: Perfect escapism
