Trope
Filthy Rich, Book #1
Heat Factor: It’s hot. 🔥 Whew.
Character Chemistry: At first it’s like, “you’re really hot, we’re having sex,” but then eventually the emotional chemistry starts to sizzle.
Plot: Babies solve life problems (?) by creating more life problems (!!!)
Overall: I’m interested to see what this author does next.
Loose Ends, Book 1
Heat Factor: Thinking about sex, talking about sex, having sex. Sexytimes abound!
Character Chemistry: You can’t help but have chemistry with Rafe, because he is the Perfect Man
Plot: My nanny is so hot! Let’s do this!
Overall: It’s sexy and smart and political and I wish I loved it more than I did
Heat Factor: Men who like strong women = sexy.
Character Chemistry: Instantaneous, but with near-constant fails. It’s sublime.
Plot: Absolutely badass female zero-gravity pilot and business owner meets a gigantic professional hockey player. Competition commences. Plot twist: she beats him at EVERYTHING and it never occurs to him that his masculinity could be threatened by that
Overall: It’s refreshing, it’s hilarious, it’s riveting, and it’s going to make you think about gender roles (but in a genuinely subtle, sexy way)
A Season for Scandal, Book 2
Heat Factor: Sexy
Character Chemistry: Soul mates at first sight
Plot: Despite being full of action, actually serves the romance
Overall: Good read
Heat Factor: Silk panties flying across the room.
Character Chemistry: They are both hot. That’s about it.
Plot: Don’t think too hard about the details.
Overall: Never cared about the characters, so never got really invested in the story.
