Reviews Dungeons and Dating, Book #1 & Book #2
Heat Factor: Three detailed encounters in the last chunk of the book—they have a lot of pining to get through first
Character Chemistry: “I think this person is so great, but there’s no way they like me”
Plot: Mason and Hunter start carpooling to work together, and that push is just what they need to open up to each other
Overall: There’s a lot to like
Dungeons and Dating, Book #2
Review of Dungeons and Dating, Book #1
Heat Factor: They’re super horny. But more importantly, this book prompted me to Google men’s lace panties, so now I’ve seen that
Character Chemistry: I was very convinced that Cal and Jules were totally into each other
Plot: Why have one obstacle to the relationship when we can have one obstacle every other chapter?
Overall: This book was charming, and the aforementioned obstacles reasonably kept the tension up throughout the book.
Heat Factor: kissy kissy
Character Chemistry: I only wish people found my verbal diarrhea as adorable as Hennessy finds Jordan’s
Plot: I’m not sure there is one? Jordan is figuring himself out.
Overall: really fun read with very little angst or tension
The Love Study, Book #3
Heat Factor: Things really get going…and the door closes
Character Chemistry: They have a very playful relationship
Plot: Mason has a vision for his future that includes a lot of “traditional” life moments, which is all thrown into turmoil when he falls for polyamorous – and married – Diego
Overall: This book did exactly what I was hoping it would do, so success! As for the rest – at the end of the day it comes down to: Is choosing the person or the living situation more important?
Dungeons and Dating, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s a pretty slow burn
Character Chemistry: Despite meeting at a very inopportune time, the chemistry is immediate and comfortable.
Plot: Roxie has opened a board game cafe with her two best friends and been painfully ejected from her last relationship when she meets her new roommate, Mel. And Mel has just essentially fled to Cali for a new job after breaking up yet again with her ex boyfriend. But they both have an easy and immediate bond with an undercurrent of rawr.
Overall: It had its slow parts, but the romance was certainly satisfying.
